Luxury chore coats compared
By Manish Puri Not all chores are made equal. Some take longer, some require more exertion, and some involve going out into the cold. On a typical weekend you’ll find me frantically searching for loopholes in the chivalric code so I can cherry...

By Tony Sylvester Sitting down to write today, I am wearing my favourite recent piece of clothing. Brand new from Bryceland’s, the knee-length linen Farmer’s Smock (below) might be a bit of a departure from what you expect from the desig...

An artist look I like on myself is white painters trousers. I have a loose fitting pair by Ralph Lauren. I can wear them in a variety of ways with shirts, leather belts, leather shoes, canvas Sperry CVO, boat shoes, t-sh...

How far is it possible to make a coat lining with shreds, off-cuts and otherwise wasted pieces of fur? When I made a lining for my M65 field jacket two years ago , the thing that attracted me most was the idea of re-using fur that would otherwise go...

Just before Christmas, I took my belted coat into Whitcomb & Shaftesbury to have it converted into a normal overcoat. As detailed on my original article, this was always a possibility. I began the experiment of a bespoke wrap coat with the...

I would certainly he hesitant about playing with the proportions too much, MK, at least until you've worn it a fair bit. Also, if it's a straight cut like that, don't ever just taper the waist. If you want it more shaped...
How to wear a horsehide jacket: Armoury x Real Mc...
I’ve never had a horsehide jacket before. I did have an old, vintage one rom RRL a few years ago, but it was so old and soft that it felt nothing like this, like new horsehide. To be honest, I’d been rather put off by the styling of hors...

Not really a shirt, but with a jacket I do. It's really just a matter of thinking what else (trousers, knits) it will go with, but you could think of it in terms of warm and cool. I don't really think about what's near t...

Coherence: Vintage-inspired Japanese outerwear
When I first heard about and tried Cohérence outerwear last year, I wasn't sure it would be for me. I tend to favour outerwear that flatters the figure and creates a straight-cut silhouette. So long in the body, slim at the waist and high in...

Grenfell makes some great pieces, and it's a shame they're not more represented here in the UK. I haven't tried Grenfell cloth though so can't speak to that much I'm afraid....
