Marks & Spencer Corduroy Suit Jacket
We’re calling it early and saying corduroy tailoring is going to be everywhere this season.

Is there a colour combo more failsafe than white and navy? The tag-team is looking imperious on this 100 per cent lambswool jumper from department store John Lewis, with a slight texture and pattern to the central white block that almost makes it look like herringbone. With the jumper pulling all the strings, style the rest of your outfit simply with some off-duty office trousers and minimalist white sneakers.

Inspired by business magnate Howard Hughes’s flying boat H-4 Hercules, birchwood from the 1947 plane has been crafted into the propeller-shaped watch movement.

These checked charmers from British label Reiss, are a true pair of bobby-dazzlers made flattering by a slim-fit and formal through a crisp fold down the front. They’ll look deadly next to a black turtleneck.

Its latest Polo Red Rush is another top-notch effort with a fruity one-two of crisp apple and mandarin headlining, while punchy spearmint and a masculine musk carry the show from the back.
Lacoste x Alpha Industries Flight Jacket
The Alpha Industries MA-1 bomber jacket is one of those immutable menswear pieces like the Burberry trench or a Baracuta Harrington. Still, French sportswear icon Lacoste is confident enough to take a pop at the classic with this collaboration, decking its take with asymmetric contrast sleeves and a hood that converts into a faux-fur wing collar. We think they may just have bettered perfection.
Indispensable Padpit Camouflage-Print Shell Harness Bag
Why settle for a single trend when you can get two for the price of one?

Just keep a black canvas behind it. You don’t want to fight for attention with this sack.

Vans x The Nightmare Before Christmas Courtside Cap

Topman x CALM Boxing Gloves T-Shirt
High street stalwart Topman has admirably teamed up with mental health charity CALM for a capsule collection to coincide with World Mental Health Day.

Wrangler x Opening Ceremony Value Rugby Shirt
One of the coolest stores in the world, Opening Ceremony, has laid its taste-making buds at the door of heavyweight denim brand Wrangler for an exclusive edit of throwback pieces.

Zara SRPLS Camo Shirt
The third instalment of Zara SRPLS, a sub-label from the Spanish high street giant full of military-inspired garments, is a blast of patchwork, camo, and khaki. This cotton camo shirt stands to attention with nifty MA-1-style pockets on the sleeves and patch flap pockets on the chest, surely deserving regular action in the field this autumn.
