Whilst the leaves are fast falling it’s been a very busy month for product drops, so I have some stonkingly good wares to show you today. We have a brand-new brand of British Basics, cosy Scandi chic slippers and a machined aluminium and brass shaving razor which looks more like a piece of sculptured art. So, following on from my October roundup, I’ve compiled a list of my favourite products and releases for the month of November 2019 – enjoy.

Auberon and James Underwear 

Auberon and James is brand new premium British Basics brand born out of a love of Great British style and design. Their underwear, undershirts and socks are designed and produced based on guiding principals of quality, convenience, sustainability and style. They believe in Basics that meet the needs of every modern British man - wherever you put in your 12 hours plus of work or play you deserve to have the most comfortable undergarments whilst you do it. They're also designed by a team of designers and garment-technologists right here in the UK.

BrewDog LoneWolf Gunpowder Gin 

Lighting the fuse with Gunpowder Gin earlier this month for Guy Fawkes, BrewDog Distilling Co threw caution to the wind for the big night that celebrates anarchy, gunpowder, treason and plot! LoneWolf Gunpowder gin delivers explosive flavour at great heights as oriental spices blast the pallet, then, as the embers die down, the true depth of the flavour rises from the flames. The 57% ABV is the heat but the bitter orange, star anise, Szechuan and black peppercorns create the smoke long after the fire is put out.

The North Face Retro Tech 

Introducing Retro Tech, the latest drop from The North Face. Inspired by a time when synth sound dominated the airwaves and video games took on new importance for millions, the latest collection resynthesizes the very best of the 80s. Boldly reflecting the decade that inspired it, the new range packs modern tech with a retro edge. Heavy colour-contrasting and classic silhouettes create a truly eye-catching aesthetic that doesn’t compromise on performance. Two of The North Face’s most iconic products feature in the collection. The Lhotse Jacket returns in striking tangerine, whilst the Denali Fleece compliments the look with a cooler coral blue ensuring a stand-out look this winter. 

MULO x Hamilton and Hare 

MULO has a brand new slipper collaboration with Hamilton and Hare, the men's designer underwear, sleepwear, loungewear and travelwear brand. The collaboration combines MULO's classic slipper silhouette with Hamilton and Hare's soft, natural fabrics. The slipper comes in a contemporary backless, slip-on design and is available in a blue suede colourway and features blue and white striped fabric in the inner sole of the slipper. The slipper is retailing at £145.00 and is available today from mrporter.com and muloshoes.com.

Morrama Angle Razor 

The Angle Razor reimagines and celebrates the ceremony of men’s shaving. By using Morrama’s take on the straight razor, men can learn a new skill that once mastered will last a lifetime. The razor is made from machined aluminium and brass and takes almost any disposable blade available worldwide. The blades are easy to recycle and there is no plastic to worry about. The Razor is milled from aluminium with a brass pin. Every kit comes with a matching stand milled from aluminium and a silicon anti-slip foot.

Citizen Watch BL5563-58E 

This Rose gold-tone stainless steel case and bracelet watch from Watch Shop is quite striking to wear. The fixed rose gold-tone bezel, black dial with luminous rose gold-tone hands and index hour markers have a luxury appeal that stands out for all the good reasons. The timepiece also features the brand’s Eco-Drive technology – powered by light, that's any light too, meaning it'll never need a battery. Wear it with a black, burgundy or green velvet blazer and printed shirt this party season for a superbly sophisticated look that we'll approve of.

mahabis monochrome collection 

Premium footwear label mahabis, famed for its award-winning slippers, has launched two striking new colourways as part of its classic range. Introducing the mahabis monochrome collection - a minimal, design focused, sleek palette just in time for winter for the first time, the wool upper will be available in striking skien black with either a black or white sole. Inspired by the light and shadows of the dramatic Nordic landscapes, the unsaturated palate is the ultimate understatement, meaning they can be worn with any outfit, anywhere, anytime.

Berghaus Ronnas Reflect Insulated Jacket 

Kick cold days into touch with this superb insulated jacket by Berghaus loaded with Hydrodown and powered by NikWax; you can count on comfort and warmth even in wet conditions. Pockets of warmth are held just where you need it most thanks to expert body mapping. Breathable Reflect technology - a lightweight lining that’s built into the jacket -bounces your body heat back to you, keeping you up to 20% warmer. Plus, protection is boosted by Pertex Quantum outer providing a lightweight shield from the wind. It’s the perfect laidback jacket to get you through all your outings this winter season.

Norwegian Rain x ECCO Waterproof Shoe 

Stylish waterproof specialists Norwegian Rain have teamed up with Danish footwear brand ECCO on an exciting new project combining expertise to produce a waterproof shoe. Having previously collaborated with with Grenson and Ally Capellino for waterproof footwear and bags respectively, Norwegian Rain have gone back to the drawing board with renewed focus utilising their resources and know-how – and developing designs together at their labs in Tønder, Denmark. The result, ‘The Waterproof Shoe’ with the highest standards of anatomical comfort. The limited-edition collection is made with premium leathers and includes zip boots design variations built on the Danish shoemaker's pioneering ST.1 ‘shock-thru’ innovation.

Adidas Originals Stan Smith x Gore-Tex Infinium Thermium 

adidas Originals has teamed up with world-leading technical fabric brand Gore-Tex to create a cold-weather ready iteration of the beloved Stan Smith silhouette, using the brand’s latest insulation technology to create the Stan Smith x Gore-Tex Infinium Thermium model. This latest innovation developed by Gore-Tex is a super-thin membrane that is integrated into the toebox to provide vital insulation where it’s needed most, while allowing the rest of the foot to breathe. Integrating this technology into the Stan Smith silhouette, adidas Originals has rendered the iconic tennis shoe in its original form, featuring an all-white leather upper with a contrast green Trefoil logo heel tab and a classic white rubber cupsole.

We feature Morrama Angle Razor, Auberon and James Underwear, and BrewDog LoneWolf Gunpowder Gin in November 2019’s Coolest Stuff blog post.
