Each week we present to you some of the best gear on the planet. Whether it's Certina's Padel-inspired timepieces, Deakin & Francis' limited edition bespoke signet rings or Mulberry's all-weather carry-round, these are the products you need this week to shake up your lifestyle (for the better).
Since the early Noughties Mulberry has been the all British bag brand that everybody wants a bit of. And nothing says "Mulberry" like the label's Scotchgrain luggage collection. With a textured surface that is accented by smooth leather trim, the bags are built to last, and are authentically Mulberry to the core.
Looks like a denim shirt, but has the lightweight feel of a breezy linen number. Hackett's yarn-dyed shirt is made using a cotton and linen blend, which offers breathable properties and makes it ideal for the summer warmth.
Woven in Italy by renowned British manufacturer Huddersfield, the cloth used on Oliver Brown's shawl lapel dinner jacket is hypoallergenic, breathable and has moisture-wicking properties, making it ideal for warmer months.
Crockett & Jones knows that guys love chukka boots, and so ave it a little update. The Bibury is a relaxed adaptation of a favourite and is made from the finest suede, and featuring the brand's new wedge rubber sole. Consider this a summer essential.
Over the past couple of weeks a string of leading men have been sighted in Luca Faloni's knits. Luke Newton, the Bridgerton favourite, wore one for Good Morning America, while Glen Powell wore an abundance of cashmere from the brand when he was a guest on Willie Geist's show. Our advice? Invest now.
These indigo blue shorts are the summer must-have for guys who want to look good. They were made using a garment-dye treatment to enhance the rich blue hue, resulting in a bold, eye-catching colour. A stretchy fabric makes them breathable, while side fastenings give them a retro touch.
J. Ottaway touches on founder Joe’s love of traditional British tailoring, but with the softness of Italian suiting. These suit trousers have been tailored in Italy from a cashmere and wool blend, feature chic side fasteners, and can be dressed up or dressed down.
Signet rings are having a moment. Jacob Elordi loves them, as does Leo Woodall's One Day character Dexter. And thanks to Deakin & Francis you can create your very own. Recently the brand has opened its factory doors to customers looking to buy either a 9K or 18K gold signet ring. You can visit the factory and help the artisans to make your own bespoke ring. This includes stamping the ring shape out of the gold followed by clipping it, shaping it and more.
Certina has been working with Marta Ortega, a Professional Padel player since 2023. And now they have joined forces to create a brand-new DS-7 Chrono, which is dedicated to padel, the sport which has undoubtedly become the hottest bat and ball game on the planet. The watch contains a small padel ball at 6 o'clock, and the dial is also made of carbon fibre, like Ortega's racket.
Buffalo Trace is a bourbon from the eponymous distillery and is a must-stock for any bar. It mingles toffee, cinnamon, caramel, mint and custard together to make a unique taste, and one that you won't turn down.
This is a bold, non-chill filtered whisky that truly puts taste first. It is exemplary of the flavour impact of an extended fermentation process, and this fruity and smoky whisky has subtle notes of stewed green apples, zesty orange peel and smoky peat.
