The team’s pick: weekend want list
Words: Gentleman's Journal
This week we turned to the team behind The Gentleman’s Journal to find out what was top of their weekend wish list. From Chelsea boots to elegant yet affordable watches, here’s what they’ve been lusting over…
Holly Macnaghten, Fashion Editor:
“This distressed leather backpack from RRL is right at the top of my weekend want list this week. The worn in look makes it the perfect off-duty accessory for the man about town and the multiple pockets makes it as practical as it is sartorially spot on.”
Riley Distressed Leather Backpack, £690
Patrick Tillard, Deputy Editor:
“Apparently, according to our sartorially inspective fashion editor, ragged espadrilles have a season sell-by-date, which, she often informs me, was about five years ago. So I’m upgrading, naturally to Chelsea boots, the shoe that can be worn with anything for any occasion.”
Saskia Rumbelow, Social Media Manager:
“With the autumn days setting in, this is the perfect weekend knit from Tod’s for those breezy Sunday walks. With an intricate cable-knit pattern that adds a luxurious texture, it’s the ideal staple knit to transition your wardrobe into the cooler months.”
Cable-Knit Frosted Wool Sweater, £380
Fergus Scholes, Associate Publisher:
“Inspired by the beauty and fun of the British seaside, Shore Projects watches boast both style and quality, while carrying a very affordable price tag for something that can be worn every day.”
Hugh Francis Anderson, Features Editor:
“With the seasons changing, and the weather getting cooler, it’s time to start investing in some essential autumn reading. Merging rebel culture with fantastic photography (think James Dean) Karlheinz Weinberger’s Rebel Youth is the perfect book to peruse for all dreary evenings.”
Rebel Youth: Karlheinz Weinberger Hardcover Book, £30
India Gladstone, Features Writer:
“Lock & Co make some of the most classic hats in the world and this bottle green one is the perfect way to update any weekend outfit. Don’t shy away from hats – it’s all about how you wear it and you really can’t go wrong with this.”
Tara Ghazanfar, Art Director:
“The perfect gift. Created from orange flowers from Tunisia, cedar wood from Virginia and Amber, it’s a true celebration of the beauty and sensuality of men from the Mediterranean. This is a soft chic and woody sensation with an elegant touch of amber.”
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Apom Pour Homme, £110
Dani Sayers-Beaumont, Account Executive:
“The double hip flask from Aspinal, because one is never enough.”
