Editor’s Picks: Oliver Peoples sunglasses, Pangaia hoodie, Walker Slater coat and Derek Rose jeans

In our persistent mission to ensure any stretched-collar, beige under-arm, loose-hemmed tees are firmly out of the rotation by springtime, we bring you the Slim-fit IceCotton T-Shirt from Slowear. Woven from an exclusive yarn that promises a strong and light build but with a breathable structure, this organic cotton essential is kind on the skin, and on the environment.

Inspired by an undeniable style legacy, the latest collection from Oliver Peoples pays homage to actor, racing driver, philanthropist, and Gentleman’s Journal favourite, Paul Newman. Rarely seen sans shades, Newman’s unmistakable large-rim frames are synonymous with his thrill-seeking aura and have been reimagined in Newman Blue, Amber Smoke, Tortoise and Black acetate for those looking to emulate his timeless cool.

For the first time in its 100-year history, Derek Rose has dipped its toe into the denim pond with the much-anticipated release of its soft wash jeans. The result of scrupulous design and rigorous R&D, these trousers (which also house a discreet AirPod pocket, for wearers looking to carry a tune) have been crafted from super soft fabric to ensure they fit perfectly from the first wear to the last, with no breaking in period required.

Don’t get us wrong, we love a turtleneck, and we love a thick knit, but from time to time, it’s a classic hoodie that’s the go-to. Pangaia has more than a little experience in this department, and its 365 Heavyweight Two-Way Zip-Through iteration is absolute proof. Crafted from 50 per cent organic cotton and 50 per cent recycled cotton, this 420gsm throw-on pairs perfectly with sport-casual ensembles, with the two-way zip and robust construction offering enhanced wearability and athletic comfort.

Described by the brand as the ‘ultimate bookshelf speaker,’ the 707 S3 Prestige Edition from Bowers & Wilkins turns shelving into a stage, offering a potent combination of nonpareil sound and striking aesthetics. Utilising advanced technology from the brand’s award-winning 705 S3 Signature and exclusively available in a Santos Gloss finish, this speaker sets new standards for high performance, elevating excellence for a truly prestige audio experience.

Walker Slater’s take on the traditional raglan coat (named for its raglan sleeves that curve at the shoulder to meet the collar), the Sherlock Coat is a calf-length style designed for form and comfort in the cooler months. Cut from Irish Donegal herringbone tweed, this piece (a longer version of the brand’s popular Watson Coat) offers a slightly slimmer fit, while still boasting enough room to sit over a jacket or knitwear, neatly adapting for both formal and casual attire.

While a sharp overnighter is what you want to be grasping as you skip from Defender into country house (fear not, the brand has a spectacular range of those as well), where does one keep the less-glamorous essentials? The answer in most cases (we imagine) is ‘rattling around in the boot’ when they should in fact be neatly stowed in one of Bennett Winch’s cargo bags. A trusted workhorse and reliable heavy lifter, the 85L Medium Cargo is constructed of high-performance waterproof nylon and military-grade cotton webbing to keep all extracurricular wares contained, then fold completely flat when not in use.

A clear nod to MOSCOT’s rich eyewear-making heritage and New York origins (though perhaps not as much as the brand’s 94 Rivington Street shop’s recent cameo in Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme), the MILTZEN frame remains as timeless today as when it was first introduced in the 1930s. A stalwart of the MOSCOT collection, this standout style is crafted from real Italian acetate and is available in 19 colourways and sizes to suit all face shapes and looks.

One to ‘have by the door,’ the Waterproof Coat from country wear brand, Holland Cooper, is a sturdy all-rounder, primed to tackle the elements. Designed with a super-oversized fit, this piece puts versatility and accessibility at its forefront, sitting smoothly over multiple layers and taking the wearer from country walks to beach trips with effortless comfort. Elevated in true Holland Cooper fashion, this coat has seamlessly incorporated welt pockets, a borg-lined hood and antique brass hardware into its practical design.

No ski wardrobe is complete without a retro knit. One need only peruse the back catalogue of Slim Aarons shots from Aspen, Vail, Gstaad, and St. Moritz to see how effortlessly this piece slots into an alpine look. Wild Donkey and Peanuts’ recent capsule collection channels this vintage-style ethos in a colourful collaboration that sees Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Woodstock taking to the piste. Our favourite: this striking 100 per cent lambswool knit, featuring the beloved avian sidekick ready to hit the slopes

Hair styling in winter can be a challenge, and one never knows when a spirited gust might render any attempt to maintain well-kept locks sadly futile. Thankfully, the Edition 1 Hair Wax from Bamford Grooming Department seeks to solve this issue, and its high-hold properties, alongside restorative peptides, allow hair to hold its natural shape and volume while also appearing thicker and stronger.
