Yes, an Arctic front is sweeping through the nation. So, you may want to plan for the next one now with a heavy-duty cashmere overcoat from Tom Ford, a reversible sheepskin leather jacket by way of Aries or even a heat-reactive padded gilet by Acne Studios. But let’s not forget that spring is so close you can see it, with the promises of padded nylon Garbstore jackets, knit cotton Brioni polos and unstructured, lightweight wool blazers from Christian Kimber to come. All of that and more below.
-
Tom Ford Single-Breasted Cashmere Coat
Image Credit: Farfetch Despite what its pleasing camel hue suggests, this Tom Ford overcoat is made from 100 percent cashmere. When dealing with a fabric this luxurious, it’s not a bad call to keep the details simple. The single-breasted overcoat has notched lapels, a three-button front, and in what may be its only stylistic flourish, a ticket pocket.

Garbstore Highway Navy Jacket
Image Credit: Couverture & the Garbstore With its corduroy collar and trims, checked cotton lining and multiple oversized pockets, Garbstore’s Highway jacket encapsulates everything we love about waxed cotton jackets—without the waxed cotton. It’s instead made from a lightly padded nylon that will be appreciated through spring.

Christian Kimber Commute-Proof Architect Blazer
Image Credit: Christian Kimber The return to office: if it hasn’t caught up with you yet, it will soon. And when that time comes, you may want to add Christian Kimber’s transit-friendly Architect blazer to your wardrobe, on account of its unstructured make and a specially woven Italian wool fabric that’s nigh impervious to creases.

18 East Mallet’s Quilted Parka in Dark Chocolate Handwoven Ripstop
Image Credit: 18 East Made in India from handwoven cotton with a water-repellent ripstop lining and recycled polyfil, Eighteen East’s Mallet quilted parka is an uncanny blend of old-world technique and modern performance. Organic cotton fleece inside the collar ups its coziness factor.

Lemaire One Pleat Pants in Squid Ink
Image Credit: Mohawk General Store Is “squid ink” an ingenious way to describe a previously undiscovered colorway, or is it merely a fancy way to say “black”? No matter how long we stare at these wool Lemaire trousers we can’t be sure, but we do appreciate their smart cut and single pleat.
-
Aries Reversible Tie-Dye Leather Jacket
Image Credit: Matches Fashion Reversing from cream sheepskin leather on one side to tie-dye shearling on the other, this jacket from Aries is the Two-Face of casual outerwear. No matter which side you choose, you’ll be able to warm your hands within a pair of generous front pockets.
-
The Armoury Ring Jacket Cotton Sport Chinos
Image Credit: The Armoury Filling the space between tailored trousers and knockabout jeans, The Armoury’s cotton sport chinos are made in Japan from 100 percent cotton and can be washed at home. While able to play rough, a tailored cut with a high rise and tapered leg ensure they still clean up nice with a blazer.
-
Brioni Long Sleeve Cotton Knit Polo
Image Credit: LuisaViaRoma When it comes to the niche category of transitional knitwear, few pieces excel as much as this long-sleeved cotton knit polo from Brioni. Wear it now over a button-down, and then against the skin once temperatures finally warm.
-
Fear of God Eternal Suede Jacket
Image Credit: FRWD What makes Fear of God’s Eternal suede jacket so… eternal? Perhaps it’s the evergreen appeal of its pared-back design matched to a sumptuous suede fabric.
-
Drake’s Snuff Suede Hancock Goodyear Welted Chelsea Boot
Image Credit: Drake's Named in honor of Thomas Hancock—the inventor of elastics—the Hancock is Drake’s attempt at making the perfect Chelsea boot. We’d say it comes pretty close, considering its Goodyear-welted Dainite sole and a rich suede upper sourced from an esteemed Yorkshire tannery.
-
Marni V-Neck Mohair Sweater
Image Credit: Shopbop A heavyweight brushed knit and a striped chalk pattern separate this Marni sweater vest from the poindexter pack. Channel your inner grunge rocker by wearing it over a white tee with baggy denim.
-
Grenson Men’s Sneaker 68

Acne Studios Osalo Heat-Reactive Padded Shell Gilet
Image Credit: Mr Porter Due to its heat-reactive shell, this padded gilet from Acne Studios will turn from purple to… a lighter shade of purple when exposed to warmth. The main takeaway being that we hope you like purple.
