Nanamica can always be counted upon to release great recurring styles each and every season. In this instance they’ve redesigned their Wind Shirt, adding a full zip front in place of the usual button placket. Otherwise it's as wearable as ever, featuring an appealing green and navy check cotton fabric which has been lined with warmth-retaining polyfleece.

Words

Commonly referred to as the Jeep Coat, this double-breasted Mackinaw from The Real McCoy’s is a fantastic piece of outerwear, newly released by the brand this season. First issued as military uniform in 1944, its nomenclature originates from the exceptional warmth it offered, which drew Jeep drivers to wear it as a way to keep out the cold while operating their open-topped transportation. The heavyweight coat is lined with melton wool and features a highly durable duck canvas exterior, cutting a extremely timeless figure to say the least.

—01. Tubular ribbed neck.
—02. Brown exterior, navy interior.

Words

Tender Co., seemingly born from a continuing fascination with denim fabrics, natural dyes and steam powered railways, is probably most recognized for its unique jean designs and shirt styles, but another thing the British brand quietly excels at is knitwear. This crew neck is exquisite yet still perfectly simple, relying on warm Shetland wool and a distinctive ladder back construction to do all the talking.

—01. Reinforced collar.
—02. 10oz cloth.

Words

Each season sees more and more companies producing plain sweatshirts as part of their offering, but anyone familiar with The Real McCoy’s will know that their versions are always tough to beat. This two tone option from the brand's Fall-Winter '15 collection is a prime example, made in Japan from loopwheeled cotton, it offers something a little more unique, combining bright red trims with a heather grey body.

—01. Set of four.

Words

While the FW15 Engineered Garments collection is a very good one, I'm an even bigger fan of the pin set the New York-based brand has made to accompany the offering. Featuring a mix of designs, themes and references, some more obvious than others, the set is available through select retailers now.

Nigel Cabourn RAF Jacket

—01. Part of the Lybro collection.

Words

The market is filled with vintage-inspired pieces that reference US Army and Air Force styles from the past, but Nigel Cabourn’s British roots seem to draw him to reproducing lesser-known militaria from his native country. This bomber length jacket is based on a Royal Air Force design from the 1950s, and its cotton poplin outer and quilted lining combine to create something distinctive that's perfectly suited to the season ahead.

Words

Among other new items from The Real McCoy's, Superdenim have just received the N-3 Utility Jacket. Originally issued to US Navy personnel serving at overseas bases, the classic olive drab style is versatile and durable, defined by the strength of its simplicity and faithfully reproduced details, rather than clever modern twists.

Kapital Fuji Smile Printed Jersey Tee

—01. Garment washed.

Words

After years of wearing T-shirts with graphics, I got into the habit of avoiding shirts that made any sort of statement with an image at all. That time has passed and while I’m still leery about making grand exclamations with my T-shirt choices, I am definitely open to the idea of some small proclamation. This option from Kapital makes that a pretty easy transition, considering I, like many others, have always found the image of Mount Fiji to be a powerful one, and who can resist the beaming visage of the classic smiley face?
