Bursts of warm weather aside, we’re deep enough into winter that you may want to call in some cold-weather reinforcements. Namely, a roughout suede down vest by the Real McCoy’s, ribbed cashmere blousons from Stòffa and a Cad & The Dandy greatcoat truly worthy of the name. And looking to the balmier weather ahead, you could do worse than to prepare now with a cashmere-cotton-silk zip-up cardigan via Brioni or a washed cotton sport jacket Trunk cooked up with Boglioli. As we were saying…

Cad & The Dandy Greatcoat in Brown Glen Check

Marni X Carhartt Shearling Color Block Jacket in Black

We can, however, imagine its wearer becoming the center of attention at their next social gathering.
