The funny thing about the weatherproof ripstop from which the trench is made is that, despite being twice as tough as old boots — being a twin-layer ripstop of the toughest fibres around — it is also light and airy and comfortable in even the most sticky climes. More
The SB is made with tropical worsted from West Yorkshire — the "tropical" part refers not to its suitability for climates involving iguanas, but more to the porousness of its weave and the tightness of its spin, allowing air to circulate around the body surprisingly well. More
A t-shirt, this, sure — if you want to get all technical about it. But it is a t-shirt from an alternative history of the t-shirt, where rather than becoming a bunkmate of socks and smalls, it was crowned a classic and enduring example of a type of British knitting. More
This is a disaster and no mistake. The tielocken was meant to be a no-fuss version of the trench. But look what happened. Two inverted pleats, a two-piece belt with four buckles, a sleeve half raglan and half set-in, and five or six pockets. Where did it all go wrong? More
The topcoat is a smart and single-breasted overcoat, cut much in the manner of a tailored jacket but far, far longer. It is made with tweed from a family run mill in County Donegal in Ireland, alive with tufts of unexpected shades, from amber to auburn to bright white. More
The anorak in lightweight cotton from Scotland has the single express purpose of being easy to pull over the head, keep out wind and rain, and allow the body to move and breathe. It goes about this in an interesting way: simple on its face but in fact very much not. More

The field jacket, here, with its convention-busting back-to-front construction and crisp cotton cavalry twill fabrication is resolutely, absolutely, a casual jacket — but worn with just the right posture and expression, it also has the faint but distinct whiff of command. More

The popover is made with linen from the south of Ireland, which has been treated to a post-weaving baptism involving laundering and washing and more laundering, resulting in a finish so soft, so lived-in-looking, it seems almost pre-worn (but, please note, it isn't). More
The duster, made with cotton from Scotland, is so breathable and so adept at wicking moisture away from the body and so well-equipped to handle both wetness and dryness, that wearing it feels less like dressing for the weather than actually outwitting it. More
