Derek Rose - The Basel Lounge Trousers

The Basel Lounge Trousers

Though the Easter sun will have seen a few emerging from the winter cocoons, this doesn't mean that the hibernation wardrobes should be neglected. The home is where we like to be the most comfortable, and when we're searching for comfort, we're searching for Derek Rose. Shaped from Basel micro modal stretch, these lightweight and breathable trousers are the gold-standard when it comes to premium loungewear. Natural temperature-regulating fibres heat and cool with the body, and the fresh vanilla colourway brings lighter tones to the legwear rotation.

MOSCOT - UTZ Sun

UTZ Sun

You can never have too many pairs of sunglasses. Even if you aren't prone to misplacing your shades, it doesn't hurt to have the option for eyewear versatility. As much as we're fond of an acetate frame, there's a time and a place for a sleek metal alternative, and that's when we reach for the UTZ Sun from MOSCOT. Steeped in New York heritage, this polished model (designed and prototyped by 5th generation, Zack Moscot) is a minimalist sunny day essential, with striped metal skiving on the frame front and temple offering additional character and enviable NYC charm.

Beolab 90 Monarch Edition

One of the final two editions of the Danish audio brand's acclaimed Atelier centenary series, Bang & Olufsen's Beolab 90 Monarch Edition fuses textural sophistication and contemporary furniture design to transform its flagship speaker into a flowing sculpture and a visual embodiment of the brand's craftsmanship and innovation. Constructed from angled and curved rosewood, six wooden knots connect the lamellas with a solid top ring housing the main speaker. Semi-transparent fabric panels contrast the smooth wood, offering listeners brief glimpses of the powerful acoustic drivers behind.

OMEGA - Speedmaster X-33

Speedmaster X-33

We imagine that the list for watches that might accompany the Artemis II crew on the first crewed lunar voyage in over 50 years was comically short. Not even really a list, but rather just a piece of paper with OMEGA written on it. And understandably so; the fabled Swiss watchmaker has been aboard every manned lunar mission since 1969, so it's only fitting that Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen don the brand for this recent excursion. Though the Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional was the historic model of choice, the Artemis II crew opted for the Speedmaster X-33; a hardy 42.25mm titanium-cased piece, to boldly take where very few have gone before.

Fera - Zephyr Jacket Navy

Zephyr Jacket Navy

As days grow longer, outfit functionality comes into consideration like never before. Sunglasses, power-banks, headphones and lighters all need to go somewhere, and it's in those essential-laden moments that we're thankful for FERA's Zephyr Jacket. Unlined and unassuming, this chore jacket-inspired piece boasts contrast stitching on its dual front pockets in addition to gun metal snap closures, and a handy left breast sunglasses loop. Stylish and practical, we understand why the Red Hot Chili Peppers wrote a song about it (probably).

R.M. Williams - Craftsman Boot

Craftsman Boot

There are few names as respected in the Chelsea Boot game as R.M.Williams. The historic Australian bootmaker has been crafting outstanding footwear since 1932, with a keen focus on utility and durability, and has recently set up shop at 108 Jermyn Street to further grow its strong British footprint. While the brand's range spans an impressive 73 styles, it's the deservedly famed Craftsman Boot that remains our consistent pick. Hand-made in Adelaide from a single piece of leather (and passing through the hands of 88 skilled craftsmen before reaching the shelves) these are an unquestionable heirloom piece with timeless appeal.

CDLP - Iron Sage Swim Shorts

Iron Sage Swim Shorts

Much like the sunglasses above, there is little reason why you should be foregoing choice and versatility in the swim short department. Different destinations prompt diverse styles, while varied activities necessitate various fits, and with a wide range of options available, the sartorial globe-trotter should never find themselves caught short (sorry). Our current pick is this iron sage iteration from CDLP; constructed from parachute nylon, quick drying and comfortable, they're likely to be a semi-permanent resident of our holdalls this spring and summer.
