- Words: Dan Scothern
Each week we present to you some of the best products on the planet. Whether it's cool evening throw-ons or heatwave-immune tees, these are the items that you need to shake up your lifestyle for the better...
MR MARVIS - The Short Weekenders
With a vintage-inspired slightly shorter cut, and enough colour options for a multihued weekly rotation, The Short Weekenders from MR MARVIS have proven themselves heatwave-resistant and a stellar semi-permanent addition to warm-weather ensembles ahead. Made in Portugal and sporting an elasticated waistband for additional comfort, these organic cotton shorts will see you through from a pre-breakfast stroll to post-dinner dance.
OMEGA - Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph 007 First Light
The next stage in the OMEGA and James Bond evolution, the Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph sees the brand catapulted off the silver screen and into the gaming arena. Sitting fittingly on the agent’s wrist in the just-released 007 First Light video game, this 44mm piece (the first-ever chronograph in James Bond’s Seamaster Diver 300M history) features a ceramic dial and pushers, PVD bronze-gold finished hands, exclusive NATO strap, and a sapphire crystal 007 First Light caseback showcasing its Calibre 9900 movement within.
Victorinox - Huntsman
An outdoor icon, Victorinox's classic Swiss Army Knife remains an essential companion for any adventure, whether you're wild camping in the Scottish Highlands or cooking up a storm on Polzeath Beach. The brand's range is extensive, spanning from streamlined single-blade tools to activity-specific designs, but our go-to is the Huntsman. Equipped with 15 functions, this durable and dependable multi-tool is perfectly suited to camping, hiking and everyday assistance.
Paul Smith - 'Poulcott' Sunglasses
If the past weekend saw your sunglasses swept out to sea along the Devon coast or left tantalisingly out of reach at the bottom of the Embassy Gardens pool, an eyewear upgrade might be required. Our pick is this striking yellow and brown 'Poulcott' pair from Paul Smith. Crafted in Italy from premium acetate and finished with the brand's signature 'Artist Stripe' detailing at the temple, they make a contemporary addition to any seasonal accessories rotation.
Tracksmith - The Meridian Tee
Primed and ready to become your next heatwave training partner, The Meridian Tee from the experts at Tracksmith takes searing heat comfortably in its stride. Cut from an ultralightweight, UPF50+ moisture-wicking fabric and finished with VentAir technology, this airy training shirt has been designed to move moisture away from the skin, stopping cling and ensuring cool kms for the summer.
Cù Bòcan - Creation #8 Single Malt
Distilled annually at the Tomatin Distillery, experimental single malt brand Cù Bòcan continues to push boundaries with its limited-edition 'Creations' series; challenging traditional approaches to distilling and whisky maturation. For its eighth release, the brand has unveiled what's believed to be the first peated Scotch whisky matured in ice wine casks; a bold innovation that has already sparked intrigue among enthusiasts alike. Matured in a combination of rare Canadian ice wine casks and premium Spanish Verdejo casks, Creation #8 delivers notes of fruit salad, zesty lime, earthy smoke, and gentle oak spice, rounded off with a lingering finish of smoky honey.
Luca Faloni - Linen Jersey Shirt
In case your Google Calendar failed to remind you; we're into linen season. Though there will be cooler days, our natural optimism puts our thicker cotton shirts to the rear of the wardrobe, allowing airy alternatives to take a central position on the sartorial stage. The Linen Jersey Shirt from Luca Faloni is the piece that's ready for its breakout role, and its aloe treatment (for exceptional softness), relaxed fit, and Australian mother of pearl buttons make it an outstanding summer staple.
Dr. David Jack - Vitamin C Good Morning Serum
A potent combination of Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Glutathione and Azelaic Acid, the Good Morning Serum from Dr. David Jack is a surefire way to start the day on the right foot. Carefully engineered to prevent premature ageing, and designed to streamline the skincare routine, this powerful formula tackles environmental factors (airborne pollution, UV exposure and harsh weather) whilst strengthening the skin barrier, reducing lines and redness and boosting skin repair.
New & Lingwood - Flat Front Cotton Chinos
While we're enthusiastic ambassadors for flashing a little calf, we acknowledge there are summer events and dress codes that call for more refined legwear (although our Bermudian readership might disagree). For those moments, we like to call upon New & Lingwood (quite literally, their Motcomb Street store is 150 yards from the GJ HQ), and it's their Flat Front Cotton Chinos that have caught our eye of late. Cut from 100 per cent cotton moleskin, these stylish trousers pair exceptionally well with a loose shirt or navy jacket.
HOKA - Skyward X 2
If you're one of the smug few that recently added a London Marathon or Hackney Half medal to the accessories lineup (or if you're aspiring to be that smug in 2027), you're likely in need of some new summer runners. And what better place to start (and finish) than the HOKA Skyward X 2. Engineered to deliver the brand's plushest stride yet, this meticulously designed super trainer boasts a PEBA midsole, an updated carbon fibre plate, a premium jacquard mesh upper and zonal tongue padding for an agile, responsive and supportive daily ride.
Yves Salomon - Suede Finish Calfskin Safari Jacket
Though second layers may not be at front of mind this week, we're never too far from an unexpected cold snap, making it wise to keep a few elevated options close at hand. One such piece is the Suede Finish Safari Jacket from Yves Salomon. Crafted from supple calfskin and detailed with chest and lower flap pockets, it's an effortless unlined throw-on for cooler eves.
