Standout pieces
No shopping list? Six picks from across the guides and what each one was chosen for.
A low-cost way to try a heavier, boxier tee. Substantial cotton gives it more structure than a lightweight basic.
In T-shirts →
An easy layer over a tee or knit. Navy cotton twill and a simple patch-pocket design make it straightforward to dress up or down.
In Work jackets →
For a merino crew that fits your build: it comes in three body lengths and three sleeve lengths at every width.
In Sweaters →
An alternative to everyday chinos, with military-style pockets and adjustable waist tabs that bring practical detail to a simple outfit.
In Casual pants →
For a boot you can resole: Goodyear-welted in Northamptonshire on an air-cushioned sole, by the factory that made Dr. Martens before production moved.
In Boots →
An inexpensive way into corduroy layering: soft cotton cord in a relaxed fit that hits at the hip, with a chest pocket and button cuffs.
