Words

The Moleskin Ring Coat is becoming a real staple in the Kapital Fall-Winter line-up. It seems really versatile, taking cues from the M-65, and definitely looks comfortable with its large enveloping hood and double breasted closure.

—01. Black.
—02. Camel.

Words

Made from 100% camel hair, these ribbed wool hats are a winter essential. There are plenty of options out there, but the size and fit of these appear to be just right. The hat was made in a handful of colours this season, but black and camel are the best of the options.

Birkenstock Basel Slip-ons

—01-02. Wool and leather.

Words

I haven't come across the Birkenstock Basel before, but its simple mix of wool and leather looks rather nice, especially for the fall. The slip-on style is a nice alternative to the Boston, not that you really need one. The two-tone effect is rather nice, and unless you were able to score one of the exclusive Japanese models from Unionmade, there might not be a lot of options. They pair perfectly with some thick warm socks in the winter, and they combine well with denim or army trousers.

TAKAHIRO MIYASHITA The SoloIst Pajama Set

—01. Silk, cotton and linen blend.

Words

While Takahiro often names his garments 'Pajamas,' anyone who's ever owned one can attest to the fact they hold up quite well outside the bedroom. I suppose it would look normal to sleep in this set, but they would also look great with a jacket over and some boots beneath.

Words

There are few names more synonymous with art collection than Charles Saatchi. There's good reason for that, and those years of experiences in the art world have culminated in the form of his vast treasure trove of a website. The site certainly has a few names floating around that you might recognize, but the overall focus is on young and upcoming artists, giving you the opportunity to discover and invest in these talented newcomers before their work potentially grows out of your price range. While there were literally thousands of pieces that I was drooling over, there were a couple in particular that were not only beautiful, but also showcased the sheer talent you'll find present on each page of the sprawling site. These works are a pair of incredible drawings by Bernard Dumaine. At first glance you might think you're viewing a photo of an unfinished sculptural work by one of the European masters, but they are quickly revealed to be incredibly intricate uses of pencil to achieve the artist's photo realistic goals. I suppose it would make sense to highlight pieces of art actually about art, seeing as how this website is aiming to forever change how it is bought and sold.

—01. 80% Wool, 20% Nylon.

Words

This is a great looking reefer jacket by longstanding British outerwear maker Gloverall, who are perhaps most famous for their iconic duffle coat. The pea coat is timeless when the weather turns blustery and this one has to be among the more classic examples available.
