Words: Dan Scothern
Each week we present to you some of the best products on the planet. Whether it’s Big Apple-inspired shorts or stout matured whisky, these are the items that you need to shake up your lifestyle for the better...
Swaine Limited Edition Oxford 19" Holdall
Handcrafted from high quality calfskin leather in its New Bond Street store, this piece from Swaine is as timelessly elegant as the city from which it takes its name. Created using a unique tanning process that allows each holdall to bear an individual patina, the Oxford 19” has been designed to gracefully age over time, adding personal character to the bag, whilst still maintaining its polished brass hardware and distinctive structure.
Swatch X OMEGA Mission to Earthphase - Moonshine Gold
The latest addition to the Swatch X OMEGA collaborative, Bioceramic Moonswatch range, the Mission to Earthphase – Moonshine Gold is another playful piece in the collection. The navy 42mm case, crown and pushers neatly compliment the white opaline dial where Snoopy and Woodstock gaze inquisitively at the earth phase indicator. Partially mirrored on the opposite side of the dial is the gold emblazoned moon phase indicator, with one moon appearing in Peanuts’ illustrative style, and the other wrapped in a net; a nod to the full Sturgeon Moon we expect to see on August 9, 2025 which is (non-coincidently) the only day that this piece is available to purchase.
Red Wing Classic Moc Toe Boots
Originally designed as a hunting boot, the Classic Moc Toe has been a stalwart of the Red Wing range since its conception in 1952. Constructed with a Goodyear welted sole and known for its firm grip on grass, the Moc Toe Boot is a blending of traditional US workwear and outdoor apparel, and the return of the Hawthorn Abilene leather variation brings a lighter, casual finish to this heritage boot.
Luca Faloni Cashmere Cotton T-Shirt
It is easy to tar all navy tees with the same brush. From 20 feet away they all look fairly similar, however once the perfect shirt has been found and experienced, it’s clear why some stand head and shoulders above the rest. The Cashmere Cotton T-Shirt from Luca Faloni is one such shirt; crafted from a cashmere-cotton blend sourced from Lombardia, Italy, this elevated staple taps into the softness and warmth of cashmere, whilst also benefitting from the breathability and comfort of cotton, resulting in the ultimate take-you-anywhere tee.
Dr Sebagh Deep Exfoliating Mask
A consistent bestseller in the Dr Sebagh range, the Deep Exfoliating Mask is the secret weapon in many a skincare arsenal. Producing visible effects after just one application, this mask is the product of Dr Jean-Louis Sebagh’s science-led approach, and its well-founded combination of Azelaic and lactic acid work to exfoliate dead layers of skin and increase fresh cell turnover while Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 stimulates collagen and elastin fibroblasts leaving the skin smooth and unblemished whilst also minimizing the appearance of any deep lines.
Assouline The Impossible Collection of Motorcycles (2nd Edition)
Whether your mind races to Virgil Hilts attempting to jump into Switzerland, Evel Knievel taking on the fountains at Caesar’s Palace or Valentino Rossi’s penalty comeback at Philip Island, there are countless moments in recent cultural history involving motorcycles. And the speed, design and freedom they allow creates a rare fascination that Assouline has further explored The Impossible Collection of Motorcycles. Written by Nicolas Stecher and Ian Barry, this 2nd Edition compiles the 100 most exceptional bikes of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries; featuring the rare to the renowned, and everything in between. An essential coffee table addition for any die-hard enthusiast.
Tracksmith New York Shorts
In the world of Paul Mescals and Jonathan Baileys it’s easy to forget that it was the Steve Prefontaines and Seb Coes that originally brought short shorts to the forefront of athletic style. Though a slightly retro aesthetic, US brand, Tracksmith, has always championed the short inseam, and its New York Shorts (part of the Fall Marathons Collection) are no exception. Released to commemorate the iconic race and designed in eye-catching orange (to emulate the vibrant energy of the course), these race shorts are fashioned from a lightweight and breathable pin dot mesh and feature three internal drop-in pockets for emergency on-the-day supplies.
Wire Works Whisky Necessary Evil Finish
Created in partnership with Derbyshire-based brewery; Thornbridge, White Peak Distillery has crafted the third iteration of its famed Necessary Evil Finish for summer 2025. A bold expression of the distillery’s core values; provenance, heritage and flavour, the Necessary Evil Finish is a dual maturation of White Peak’s lightly-peated spirit (matured in ex-bourbon barrels) finished in casks previously inhabited by Thornbridge’s 13 per cent ABV imperial stout. The resulting liquid gives vanilla fudge, coffee and chocolate digestives on the nose, cacao, pepper and caramel on the palate, before a rich chocolate, tobacco and dark cherry finish.
Pal Zileri Light Blue Half-Zip Sweater
Composed of 70 per cent extra-fine merino wool and 30 per cent silk, this Half-Zip Sweater from Pal Zileri strikes a perfect balance between warmth and lightweightness. Ideal for the post-sunset hours, the regular fit allows for maximum outfit versatility from mid-week to the weekend, while the fine yarns and 18-gauge jersey knit maintain the shape and colour over time, ensuring this piece stays soft and refined wear after wear.
Sun Day Red Pioneer Cypress LE Golf Shoes
If Happy Gilmore 2 has you dusting off the persimmon woods, or the cracked FootJoys have seen better days, the Pioneer Cypress LEs from Sun Day Red might be what your golf game is missing. Built from the ground up by Tiger Woods himself, the Pioneer Cypress LE is the result of over 40,000,000 steps (the estimated number of paces Tiger has taken on golf courses over his career) of R&D and have been meticulously engineered with a 6mm heel to toe drop (to leverage the power of ground force, whilst maximising support), a 9-cleat configuration and two removable footbed options for exceptional comfort when 18 holes turns into 36.
