We might be in a martial mood, because suddenly we’re seeing military inspiration everywhere. Or more particularly, in a pair of Orslow chinos that take after the French army’s old M-52 model, a Drake’s fleece that owes a debt to 1980s Royal Army garb and a very Lemaire take on the olive-drab shirt. In terms of civilian style, this week also sees Harris tweed trousers a la Todd Snyder, a shearling duffle by Ralph Lauren and a YMC corduroy trouser made in tribute to a skating legend. Carry on.

Mfpen Curator Organic-Wool Coat
Image Credit: Farfetch We’re not sure what you’ll be curating in Mfpens’ Curator coat—mid-century Japanese silverware, contemporary Danish poetry, hot takes—but whatever it is, you’ll look simultaneously relaxed and put together.

Drake’s Olive Military Fleece Sweatshirt

In lieu of a time machine, Drake’s has created this piece in their likeness, and upgraded the fabric to a poly-blend composed of 61% wool. Report for duty with cords below and a pair of chukka boots.

Sunspel Luxury British Wool Jumper

Kardo Thomas Jeans
Image Credit: Kardo It can take an expert tell two pairs of indigo-dyed blue jeans apart, but Kardo’s Thomas is unmissable. That’s because it’s made in India on handlooms that give the fabric a unique, slubby appearance before it’s naturally dyed.
