Seven Layer Extreme Cold Down Parka 

This parka is manufactured from 94% Polyester and 6% Spandex, creating dynamic stretch for comfort and high durability for active outdoor pursuits. Its external fabrics are very strong and abrasive resistant, yet it’s extremely lightweight. A large proportion of the coat is technically bonded helping reduce water ingress or down loss. Its hydrophobic properties and hydrophilic membrane repel water and create a beading effect that protects the fabric and wearer from heavy downpours. On the inside you’ll find +800 FP 90/10 water repelling down by DownTek which is C0 and fluorocarbon free plus Bluesign Approved.

SPOKE Santa Pants 

We recently ran a Twitter poll which highlighted the majority of our fans aren’t planning on donning a festive jumper this year. But let's face it, 2020 needs some festive cheer. Enter menswear brand SPOKE with a truly extraordinary celebration of festive trousering: The Santa Pant. Renowned for their flawlessly fitting legwear, this is very special limited edition. Based on their best-selling Fridays, and cut from deep red Italian brushed cotton, this is a refined trouser, for a modern Santa.

Timex x Nigel Cabourn Naval Officers Watch 

Following multiple sold-out collaborations with British menswear designer Nigel Cabourn, Timex have teamed up with the brand once again, this time bringing you the Naval Officers Watch. This watch draws inspiration from timepieces worn by Royal Navy Captains on Arctic convoys in the North Sea during WWII, with a specially finished case made to emulate sea-air corrosion, a nod to the weathered look of military boats and seafaring equipment of the era.

Otway & Orford Silk Pocket Squares 

These pocket squares are created in Macclesfield, the home of English silk printing, and are finished the traditional way by hand-rolling and hand-sewing the edges of the silk twill squares. The ‘new’ in the Otway & Orford tradition comes from taking a dramatically different approach to the designs. They have collaborated with some of the finest artists of dynamic and colourful aviation, automotive and sporting art to produce vibrant and elegant silk pocket squares that never fail to stir the emotions.
