K-Way Le Vrai 4.0 Claude Jacket
A continental classic since the 1960s, the Claude waterproof from French brand, K-Way, has been keeping torsos dry for over 60 years. Though textile technology has vastly improved since the brand’s founding - the 2025 Claude jacket boasts waterproof, windproof, breathable ripstop nylon fabric, heat tapered seams and advanced breathability – the brand has stayed true to the traditional, timeless design making this a contemporary, versatile and packable wet-weather essential.
Tudor 1926 Luna
Taking its name from the date when the brand was first registered and timed to launch just ahead of the Mid-Autumn Festival (when the moon is at its brightest), the 1926 Luna from Tudor marks the brand’s first ever watch with a moon phase complication. Working closely with Tudor’s designers, Jay Chou (singer, actor and Tudor ambassador) added a little personal magic to this piece, with the result being three uncluttered 39mm dials in black, blue and champagne, a classic polished and satin-brushed bracelet and the beautifully integrated moon phase indicator sitting between arrow-shaped hour markers at the 6 o’clock position.
N.Peal Belgravia Cashmere Quilted Gilet
October is peak gilet season. And for good reason; it’s a transitional month where the body requires additional insulation, but the arms can look after themselves. Practicality is key, however, and the bulk to warmth ratio needs to be carefully managed to avoid Michelin Man comparisons and allow for outfit versatility. Our pick is this stylish 100 per cent cashmere variant from the artisans at N.Peal – quilted and soft, the clean lines and tonal ribbed collar complete this adaptable piece.
David Gandy Wellwear Ultimate Trunks
Any fans of Dolce&Gabbana’s Light Blue fragrance will be familiar with David Gandy’s affiliation with stylish swimwear and underwear. And now, through his enormously popular David Gandy Wellwear brand, the renowned model has launched his own range of underwear essentials. The aptly named Ultimate Trunks have been designed with unbridled, all-day comfort in mind, and the no-nonsense style and Wellwear Breathe anti-odour and anti-bacterial treatment ensure absolute freshness and softness from day to night.
Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2
“A statement of headphone excellence,” British brand, Bowers & Wilkins have outdone themselves with their latest release, the Px8 S2 headphones. A new benchmark in performance and design within the on-ear category, the ever-innovating brand has utilised Carbon Cone drive units to effectively reduce distortion and enhance audio resolution, and the slimmer, Nappa Leather earcups and ergonomically tested shape creates an elevated and comfortable listening experience. The unrivalled high-resolution audio, 30-hour battery life and unmatched noise-cancelling capability make these headphones an essential, whether on the go, or listening at home.
MOSS Mock Neck Jumper
Autumn is for thick knits. Whether you’re channelling Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally, or Chris Evans in Knives Out, there’s a seasonal nonchalance to tossing on a hefty jumper and getting out and about. This year the Mock Neck Jumper from MOSS has caught our eye, and the not-quite-crew-neck, not-quite-polo-neck style coupled with the characterful speckled effect from the light brown yarn make it a stylishly neutral autumnal layer.
Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 Takashi Murakami Limited Edition
Despite its heritage and enviable reputation, Dom Pérignon has never shied away from creative collaborations. Since 2005 the revered champagne house has worked closely with the likes of Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Karl Lagerfeld and David Lynch (to name a few) to showcase its exceptional craft and creative edge. Now, for October 2025, the Dom Pérignon has teamed up with esteemed artist, Takashi Murakami to further that legacy and share two new limited editions: one for Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 and one for the launch of Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010. The collaboration, which makes use of Murakami’s signature smiling flower aesthetic, is the latest chapter in the Maison’s ‘Creation is an eternal journey’ series and cements its commitment to art and creation.
Oakley Meta Vanguard
A defiant stance against those who think sunglasses are for spring and summer only, the Oakley Meta Vanguard are year-round shades that integrate seamlessly with the wearer’s sporting life. Powered by Meta AI, these frames are fuelled by athletic intelligence, providing real-time data with help from Garmin, alongside Strava-enabled workout logging and sharing. The Prizm lens tech is something of a given, and the ultra-wide 12MP camera in the bridge and immersive audio in the temples are the cherry on top of these gold medal specs.
Pangaia 365 Midweight Hoodie
Treated with PPRMINT™ to stay fresher for longer, the 365 Midweight Hoodie from Pangaia is a masterclass in autumnal loungewear. Its ultra-soft, organic cotton construction is safer for the skin, kinder to the planet and hasn’t touched any pesticides or harmful chemicals in its production. The relaxed fit makes it ideal for errand running and general chilling, and the seasonal, cosmos-inspired Milkyway Maroon colourway is eye-catching in the best ways.
T.M. Lewin Wool-Blend Blouson
More refined than your typical shacket, but less formal than an overcoat or suit jacket, the Wool-Blend Blouson from T.M.Lewin is a magnificent in-between piece for the chillier months. Crafted with warmth, structure and durability in mind, this comfortable throw-on neatly elevates more casual ensembles in addition to sitting well atop a well-ironed shirt and paired with suit trousers.
Breitling Avenger Automatic GMT 44
A colourful twist on the ultimate travel watch, Breitling has teamed up with esteemed jeweller, Beaverbrooks to launch an exclusive iteration of the Avenger Automatic GMT 44. Symbolising the brand’s fearless spirit, the striking 44mm yellow dial (a colour synonymous with the Breitling brand since the 1950s) is paired with hardy steel marking its resilient construction and serving as a nod to its storied aviation heritage.
