Words

I first came across diCorcia's work in the form of a gorgeous Cairo based fashion spread in W Magazine some five years ago. Since then my fondness for the photographer's work has grown exponentially as I've had the opportunity to see his shows on a few occasions. Most recently, it was at David Zwirner, where arguably his most famous body of work, Hustlers, is on display in all its emotional cinematic glory.

—01. Military Brown.
—02. Navy.

Words

When it comes to the outdoors, Barbour have been making reliable garments for a very long time. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of waxed jackets so the Highpeak is a more appealing model, available in two classic colours.

—01. Available in 26 colours.

Words

A classic item, and a staple in Beams Plus collections, this Shetland sweater is now available in 26 colours. The simple knit works well over a BD shirt or a T-shirt, and with chinos or denim. However you want to wear it, there are more than enough colours to choose from.

Bru Na Boinne Strohl Jacket

—01. 100% cotton.

Words

With the Strohl Jacket, Bru Na Boinne have made one of the better looking and more unique coverall jackets on the market. Most of its distinction comes in the form of the rich, caramel brown colour, but the cut looks a little longer than usual, which is also a nice touch.

London Undercover City Gent Defence Umbrella

—01. Made in England.

Words

With the rain now hitting Vancouver after months of dry weather, it is really becoming apparent how necessary a good umbrella is. This version from London Undercover is an attractive and sturdily built option and, short of losing it, would not need to be replaced anytime soon.

—01. 100% cotton.
—02. Made in Japan.

Words

This is probably one of the most simple and understated shirts that Sassafras makes. With just one pocket, and made out of a beautiful white herringbone cotton, the Green Thumb Shirt is a great layer for underneath sweaters and jackets.

Digawel MA-1

—01. Houndstooth body panels.
—02. Contrast arm fabric.

Words

If you don't already own an MA-1, chances are this will not be the first one you purchase. This is the option for those that have grown tired of the olive and black versions that get pushed out every fall from companies ranging from streetwear to high fashion. One good thing about using a classic silhouette like this, is that it looks that much more interesting when subjected to a new approach.

—01. 70% Merino Wool, 30% Cashmere.
—02. Made in UK.

Words

When you hear people say that they're looking forward to fall so they can wear their clothes again, sweaters like this are likely to be part of the reason. Layering up with different colours and textures, mixing knits and shirts with casual jackets, throwing on a scarf or a hat; whatever it takes to keep the cold out. The more versatile the items, the better and these Merino cashmere sweaters, a staple in the Margaret Howell collection, are exactly that: warm, soft and subtle, and easy to work into any wardrobe.
