The Down Parka
Many of us will, at some point, have found the perfect jacket and felt the regret of letting it slip through our fingers. With incredible levels of both style and durability, it would be a shame to let this heavyweight down parka from Italy’s Ten c be just another missed opportunity.
The Rollneck Jumper
Whether for walking through a picturesque winter landscape or just sitting by the fireplace with a good book, a comfortable rollneck jumper will prove a loyal companion. Fine virgin wool only enhances the cosy feel and will keep you warm for many winters to come.
The Cashmere Joggers
Few things beat slipping into a pair of soft and warm cashmere trousers at home when the winter winds are swirling outside. They are also perfectly suited to a quick run to the shops or taking out the leftover Christmas food.
The Oxford Shirt
Putting on the perfect shirt should feel just like coming home, and it should look just as stylish casually unbuttoned as it does under a blazer. This Oxford cotton model is also a dream to look after: spin dry, stretch out the collar, cuff, and seams and leave to dry on a hanger. Once dried, it won’t even need ironing.
The Gloves
Gloves should last for years and develop a beautiful patina while doing it. With a pair in peccary leather with a warm cashmere lining, you will have one of the most stylish and hard-wearing things a man can own. And, just as you rarely lose your car keys, you won’t be constantly forgetting these gloves – they are simply too precious to lose.
The Watch
A well-made, automatic wristwatch is something every man should consider investing in. Montblanc’s models are Swiss Made and of the very highest quality. Perfect for treating yourself if Santa once again neglected to bring you one.
The Boots
Brown lace-up boots can be worn at almost any time. These hiking boots from American brand Danner get you ready for winter, with their Vibram® sole, watertight, dark brown leather upper, and Gore-Tex® lining.
