Each week we present to you some of the best products on the planet. Whether it's utility jackets or summer slip-ons, these are the items that you need to shake up your lifestyle for the better...
Sunspel - Sea Island Cotton Riviera Polo Shirt
Though initially designed in the 1950s for balmy days on the French Riviera, the eponymous lightweight polo shirt from Sunspel was sky-rocketed to global acclaim when it was refined for Daniel Craig’s 007 debut in Casino Royale. Marking its 20-year Bond anniversary this year, this breathable, sea island cotton piece remains a staple of the British brand’s stellar collection, with this limited-edition signature Midnight Navy iteration celebrating two decades of an iconic design and more than 160 years of British textile innovation.
Swaine - Backgammon Set – Bordeaux
There's no better time to be getting the backgammon practice in. Before you can dazzle beach-adjacent challengers on a streamlined roll-out set, backgammon bones must be made on domestic shores. Which is where the craftsmen at Swaine come in. Known for its exceptional leather work since 1750, the brand has applied its expertise to this striking Bordeaux backgammon set in full grain calf leather with maple wood chips. Further details come in the form of a custom-engraved maple doubling cube and hand-polished nickel-plated hardware, with a secure key lock closure completing this stylish addition to the games room.
Jo Malone - Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Intense 30ml
Small but mighty, the latest addition to the Jo Malone Men’s Edit sees its famed Cypress & Grapevine fragrance neatly packed into a travel-friendly 30ml vessel. Noticeably intense and fronted by Mad Max, Inception and Dunkirk legend, Tom Hardy, this woody and aromatic cologne has become an undoubted olfactory icon since its launch in 2020, with its cedarwood and vetiver, and warm amber and grape notes adding a layer of sensuality to this intriguing scent.
Pocher - Ferrari F50 1:8 Scale Model
What better way to complement the F50 on the driveway than with a 1:8 scale replica inside the house? Italian brand Pocher can now make this happen, and its latest partnership with the revered Maranello based carmaker sees the iconic Ferrari F50 take the form of a 688-precision part model. Not for the faint-hearted, this die-cast piece (available in Rosso Corsa red and Giallo Modena yellow) has been designed to replicate every detail of the full-sized supercar, challenging automotive enthusiasts and Prancing Horse loyalists with an approximate 30-hour build-time.
cellmen - Wash n' Shave Foam
For those looking to trim up and sharpen the stubble ahead of summer, the Wash n' Shave Foam from cellcosmet's cellmen range is our recommendation. Formulated with active ingredients Surfactants Natural Complex, Witch Hazel Hydrosol and Marine Refreshing Complex, this shaving mousse both purifies and cleanses, preventing tight-feeling skin and reducing excess sebum to actively combat irritation and post-shave redness.
TUDOR - Black Bay 68
Football, Formula 1, the Dakar Rally, rugby, cycling, surfing and sumo? Taking its "Born to Dare" mantra to the next level, TUDOR has expanded its sporting scope with an exciting partnership with the Japan Sumo Association and Grand Sumo. A blending of worlds and heritage, sumo lends some of its 1,500-year history to the Swiss brand, aligning neatly with their shared passion for power and dignity. A piece that subtly embodies this ethos is the Black Bay 68: an understated yet quietly robust 43mm timepiece (and a GJ favourite).
Forum Auctions - Bruce Lee's annotated Kung Fu book
One doesn’t don the Game of Death yellow jumpsuit without years of studying and craft-mastery and it’s no secret that Bruce Lee was a perfectionist when it came to martial arts form and technique (“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”) On 16th July, fans can invest in the closest thing to a one-on-one lesson with the icon, as his own annotated copy of 'Praying Mantis Style' Kung Fu goes under the hammer. Teeming with personal notes and marginalia, it's a collectible worthy of Han's (Enter the Dragon) collection.
Glenmorangie - Harrison Ford Limited Edition
Co-created alongside renowned Director of Whisky Creation, Dr Bill Lumsden, the Glenmorangie Harrison Ford Limited Edition injects a little of the leading man’s ruggedness into the brand’s portfolio. A longtime whisky fan, Ford fell in love with Glenmorangie while filming the brand’s Once Upon a Time in Scotland campaign, before blending classic bourbon cask-aged Glenmorangie with whisky finished in toasted Portuguese red wine casks for his own creation. Never one to mince words, Ford omitted his thoughts on the liquid’s Seville orange, lemon, grapefruit and butter candy tasting notes in favour of a more down-the-line description; “it’s very nice”.
Schöffel - Lynmouth Utility Jacket
An ideal spring-to-summer second layer that perfectly balances functional country wear with refined craftsmanship, the Lynmouth Utility Jacket from Schöffel is a comfortable wardrobe staple. Versatile and lightweight, the Lynmouth has been constructed from hardy twill cotton, with added stretch to allow for the ideal fit and range of motion. Large front pockets allow for all town and country accruements to be kept on hand, and the adjustable waist at the rear and contrast turn up sleeves allow wearers to add personal flair to this piece.
MR MARVIS - Catamaran Seersucker Swims
Cut from quick-dry seersucker fabric woven with polyamide and organic cotton, the Seersucker Swims from MR MARVIS are a quietly characterful addition to this year's poolside wardrobe. Muted from a distance, but revealing a soft blue parallel line pattern when up close, these take-you-anywhere mid-length swimmers look as sharp in the water as they do worn with a casual shirt at the ocean-view bar.
Church's - Rowley Loafer
A full summer dance-card means that time spent faffing with laces is wasted time. Especially when those precious seconds could be better spent indulging in a golden-hour libation on the veranda or amongst the sun-soaked buildings around the piazza. Truth be told, there is only one type of shoe for the job, and if the Rowley Loafer from Church's isn't it, then it's scarily close. Crafted from soft burnt brown suede, this welted pair has been designed to mould to the wearer's foot, becoming more and more comfortable with each run out.
Longines - HydroConquest Commonwealth Games
Alongside its strong ties to the equestrian world, Longines has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the Commonwealth Games since first serving as Official Timekeeper at the Perth Games in 1962. Now, as anticipation builds for Glasgow 2026, the brand has unveiled the HydroConquest 2026 Commonwealth Games edition to mark the countdown to July. Limited to 2,026 pieces, the vibrant timepiece is available in both 39mm and 42mm case sizes, incorporating the dynamic colours of the Games as a tribute to the enduring partnership and shared commitment to excellence between brands.
Dewar's - Self Fill Whisky Cask
A rare and limited drop from Dewar's, this Self Fill Whisky Cask bottling showcases a 2014-distilled blend masterfully created under the direction of award-winning Master Blender Stephanie Macleod. Finished in casks that once held Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, this hand-filled and individually numbered expression gains intriguing richness and depth, providing a personal feel to what is already a much-coveted dram.
