And just like that, it’s time for another newsletter. Time flies when you’re waiting for us to publish our version of Homer’s Iliad (a weekly selection of 9 nice garments we laid our eyes on). Allow us to take you on an odyssey across oceans and continents, from Japan to France via the UK, India and more. It isn’t exactly a minor tour, but luckily for you dear reader, we’ve condensed that globetrotting experience into a sub 5 minute read, handily delivered to your inbox.
Without further ado, enjoy some jawnz we think are worth more than any golden fleece and let us know how many Ancient Greek references you found painfully shoehorned into this week’s introduction.
Homecore Panev Ripple Jacket
The end of this month marks the first wedding of the season for us, so we’re back to desperately considering options of what to wear. It was the ivory version of this that first grabbed our attention, but we’re not the kind of people that would want to upstage the bride on their big day. Or are we?
Café Mountain Patchwork Check Heritage Shirt
It would quite frankly be rude not to shine some light on our friends at Café Mountain’s latest drop, considering it’s all shirting and that’s what we love the most in this world. Patchwork Madras? All over it mate.
Jonnie’s Bodega JB Painter Company Staff Tee
In our reasonably long time doing this, we’ve yet to come across a product description as unhinged as the one this T-shirt has. We’ve learnt absolutely nothing about the garment, but it doesn’t really matter anyway as this is just a fun bit of gear that’ll make you happy.
Bram’s Fruit Carpenter Trousers
The year is 2025, ebay saved searches for ‘Vintage Carhartt Double Knee’ have reached record, and unsustainable numbers. If you’re after something similar, without the hassle of trying to outbid some Soho fuck face that was wearing Jack Wills two years ago, give these a whirl. Just make sure you only tell the right people where you got ‘em.
Woolrich Outdoor Label Cotton/Linen Checked Vest
The big brains at Japanese diffusion line Woolrich Outdoor Label continue to set the standard for the brand, offering premium takes on some of Woolrich’s best archival silhouettes. Select styles are now available on our fair shores, which is lucky because this vest is whispering to be grabbed like a cold pint on a hot day.
Kardo Yuki Pleated Trousers
Painstakingly dyed in 4 different colours before being cut, arranged and stitched together, these trousers become a different beast altogether up close thanks to their raw edged finish. Even better, all the fabric is upcycled and the work of one skilled tailor from start to finish.
Mellow Clo Boulder Jacket
Mellow Clo are putting Lime bikes on notice with this, proving at least one company knows their colours properly. Also a lot of subtle pocket action on this one, perfect for smuggling Ginster’s pasties on the hikes you’ve been coerced into.
Porter James Sports Dart-Knee Pleated Trousers
Everyone eventually gets to a point with their wardrobe where what they really need is a pair of lovely grey trousers. We’re at that point now and this sexy pair from PJS caught our eye. Imagine the fabric swishing as you turn out the function after everyone has been cooing over your trousers all night.
Mackintosh Skye Parka
We all know that Mackintosh are the Don Dada of the trad raincoat game but we had no idea they were like this. Bit on the nose calling their proprietary waterproof fabric Raintec, but we’ll let it go because this really is a stupendous coat.
That’ll do it for this week, until next time folks!
