Yo! We’re back in London after our trip over to mainland Europe, a well deserved break from the secret 9-5 we have (sorry to break it to you, the newsletter is not our only gig). Amsterdam is a hell of a city, barring the grotesque few streets inundated with stag do’s.
Full city shopping guide probably coming soon but first, just like a bad mullet, it’s business at the front and business at the back. You all know the drill by now, it’s our weekly favourite 9 pieces form the brands we love, the brands we’ve just found out about and the brands we hope you’ll love too.
We’re now starting to see AW25 collections come through, meaning it’s the best time of the menswear year, layering season baby! Let us wet your whistle, pique your interest, baste your turkey and any other phrases that could be loosely construed as grabbing your attention.
Enjoy!
Peter Wu Carpenter Jeans
We have been sat patiently, waiting for Peter Wu to drop their AW25 collection. Now it’s here, we consider this a gift from us to you. You now know Peter Wu, and we hope you join us in waiting for future collections too.
Timberland x Highsnobiety Boat Shoe
Not that gigantic media conglomerate Highsnobiety needed the co-sign of a small, independent newsletter, but this is actually a really good shoe. Turns out a machine of their size can still turn out great product when required. Big up HS.
PAL Sporting Goods Manor House Raised Jacket
PAL Sporting Goods pay homage to their British roots with their AW25 collection, with this jacket delivering big vintage motor racing vibes. Don’t be a massive James Hunt (not official cockney rhyming slang but you all know what we mean) and miss out on this.
Keen x Metalwood Hyperport Clog
Why did the golfer have to get rid of his old shoes? Because he had a hole in one! Hohoho. You might find these breach club rules for appropriate footwear on the course but in our heart, these are worthy of the Green Jacket.
Cawley Linen Sid Blazer
We’re currently re-watching Mad Men, which has reignited our deep love for the most dignified work attire, the suit. Whilst we have no desire to actually wear one everyday, special occasions require special suits. The Sid, is indeed a very special suit.
Garbstore TDR Notting Hill T-Shirt
Just to make it clear, we aren’t indebted to Garbstore, they haven’t kidnapped our family or made us write this at gunpoint. They are the homies, we love the store and what they do, hence the constant features. Now please let our loved ones come home Garbstore!
Eastlogue Teddy Blouson
This looks like something every stylish 80’s rom-com leading man would be wearing as they moodily walk through the city wondering whether he lost the girl. He didn’t, but mostly because she was after his lovely outerwear collection.
Mountain Research Coach Shirt
Anarcho Mountaineers sounds a bit like an isolated cult found out in rural Utah that hold Ayahuasca ceremonies and don’t have phones. The reality is that it’s just a bit of text on the front of a really nice jacket from Mountain Research. Don’t get us started on the sexy pocket action either.
Arches HMP001 Heritage Fit Hemp T-Shirt
Blank experts Arches just introduced their new 50/50 hemp blend T-shirt, featuring a lovely slub texture. These guys are some of the best in the biz when it comes to basics, meaning there’s every chance this could be your glass slipper of white T-shirts.
That’ll do it for this week, until next time folks!
