You won't get far in life without some trousers, and these will get you further than most. Made to be durable, see, with heavy lap-seams, stitches in places most trousers don't even have places, and a cut which reduces stress — especially when sitting down. Read more

There are better times to be in the coat business than amidst Mother Nature's most concerted baking of the Isles since '76. But if you are going to risk hyperthermia in the name of quality outerwear this summer, the car coat isn't quite as silly as it sounds. Read more

The new popover sure is a lot of pocket. A pockover, you might call it, or poppet. Substantial storage isn't all it has going for it, though — rendered in a tough and textured cotton-linen hopsack, it's a handy combination of work and casualwear. Read more

The SB3 and shorts here are made with a high-twist worsted, whose open and coarse quality comes about in part to its provenance. Woven with the wool of sheep reared and sheared in Yorkshire, see, where you don’t get by by being meek and bashful. Read more

The cotton sail-cloth, here, of the new work jacket. It comes into the world as stiff 14oz canvas, but is washed, tumbled, and pummelled with all manner of clandestine machinery, until soft and pliant. Very suitable, then, for easygoing five-button outerwear. Read more

The field coat is a brand new coat made with a brand new cotton, which is brushed, sanded, washed, tumbled, washed some more, and then, would you believe, impregnated — yes, that's the term — with a high-performance wax to make it very good in the rain. Read more

It's a donkey jacket — but not as we know it. Respectful of the age-old workwear classic rather than deferent, this is a spring-time jacket with a whole-cut upper body, more pockets than you might expect, and a tonal combination of cottons canvas and dry-wax. Read more

This new protective ripstop — though lighter than light — really earns its name. By 'eck does it protect. Rain? It is nothing. Just beads up and bounces off. Indeed, there's little it won't ward off, what with a super-strong ripstop grid patrolling its reverse side. Read more

The v-neck is made by a crack team of knitters, who each can hand-link and hand-frame and fully-fashion with their eyes closed — and who, in this instance, aren't averse to mixing cotton with linen to create a pullover at once very bobbly and very breathable. Read more

"If the hat fits, wear it." Not only a great little phrase, but a profound comment on sartorial free will. And sometimes, even if the hat doesn't fit, then you should wear it anyway — especially when it is made in the south-west of England with hand-woven straw. Read more

This new protective ripstop — though lighter than light — really earns its name. By 'eck does it protect. Rain? It is nothing. Just beads up and bounces off. Indeed, there's little it won't ward off, what with a super-strong ripstop grid patrolling its reverse side. Read more

The topcoat, with a name like topcoat, would be, you'd hope, at the very least, a good coat — if not a top one. This one is made with a tweed of merino wool, woven in the Mourne Mountains, on a loom assembled way-back-when by the local coffin-maker. Read more

The peacoat comes but once a year — and usually leaves again soon after. It is made, this time around, with a worsted overcoating from Somerset, which is so very thick and so very heavy it would be terrifying, were it not, at the same time, so soft and lustrous. Read more

The new flight jacket is short — shorter, indeed, than any jacket that has gone here before. But packed into it are a dozen different ideas, most of which are best filed under "simple to look at but devilish to make". None more so, indeed, than that saddle shoulder. Read more

The new donkey jacket is rooted in the two-tone workwear mainstay — but this one has sail-cloth from up north up top, overcoating from down south down below, and makes a radical departure from its workhorse precursor with its seam-free shoulder. Read more

This here topcoat is made with cloth from down in Somerset known curiously as covert. Rugged and protective on the one hand; smart-looking on the other — that's what you get with a cloth typically the preserve of what they call sport in the countryside. Read more

So inordinately heavy, these new proper trousers, so thick, that it takes two legs just to lift them. The cloth is woven in the Heavy Woollen District of West Yorkshire, appropriately enough: an exact replica of a now-archival military melton from wars gone by. Read more

The shirt here is made with corduroy as thick and heavy as you can get before someone steps in and advises not to proceed. But still — it's corduroy, it's cotton, and so it's very breathable, and just the ticket for all days between autumn and spring inclusive. Read more

The sleeves of this, the heavy crewneck, are a little thinner than the body. Only six-ply, they are, compared to a preposterous ten. The thinking is this frees up space for wearing a jacket over the top. Not that you necessarily need a jacket, what with pockets like this. Read more

It can stir a sense of the profound, looking down at a pair of gloves that are sewn together entirely by hand. Perhaps it comes from recognising said hands are more nimble and patient than your own — or, perhaps, it is just because they look very nice. Read more

The car coat is a handy thing to have around come rain or shine — but particularly come rain. It is, after all, made with cloth that comes into its own when heavens open. Doesn't come at the expense of other things, though: the coat is light and breathable, too. Read more

To some, a heavy shirt; to others, a jacket-lite. Classify it as you will — the field shirt is a substantial mid-layer, with a whole-cut upper body, two pockets straddling its front, and a split construction that employs two complementary linens from Linenopolis. Read more

A very civil partnership, here, of man and sheep. The scarf and the crewneck here — they're both hand-framed and hand-linked in the south-west corner of the Isles, with lambswool so soft it makes most cashmere wonder where it all went wrong. Read more
