Editor's picks: Deakin & Francis decanter, Cervélo Rouvida bike and Tissot Damian Lillard watch
The best gear you need right now
Words: Zak Maoui
Each week we present to you some of the best gear on the planet. Whether it's a bike from California-based brand Cervélo, that'll make your commute that little bit easier, or a fancy decanter from Deakin & Francis that'll elevate your dinner party game, these are the products you need this week to shake up your lifestyle.
Émigré wash bag
The Émigré Wash bag is a lightweight, piece of kit worthy on any holiday, business trip or weekend jaunt. Featuring multiple internal compartments and full waterproof interior, it’s the ideal companion for any man who likes to travel about.
Deakin & Francis decanter
Investing in quality decanters is a key part of any great home bar. Manufactured in a traditional square spirit style by Dartington, Deakin & Francis' Eagle decanter comes with a metal stopper drom Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter. This eagle decanter decanter holds 65cl, and will be the talk of your next dinner party.
Cervélo Rouvida
California-based brand Cervélo has been making decent bikes since 1999. And the new Rouvida is its speediest yet. Sleekly designed around the Fazua Ride60 motor, Rouvida delivers 60nM of torque paired to a 432wH battery, and assists you all the way up to 28mph. The Rouvida comes in two configurations: road and gravel. And it comes with some clever interchangeable dropouts that significantly alter the geometry of the bike, so the road bike feels like a road bike, and the gravel bike feels like a gravel bike.
Reiss x McLaren F1 cardigan
Reiss has partnered with the McLaren Formula One team to co-create an exclusive capsule collection that speaks to both brands. This cardigan is cut from wool and cashmere, and comes with racing stripes on the side that nod to the art of racing. One for lounging out in front of the small box on a Sunday during race season.
New and Lingwood dressing gown
Thought playful gowns were just for kids? Think again. New and Lingwood's bath robe is crafted from a dense cotton towelling fabric, and has a navy base featuring the brand's signature skull and crossbones in red. One to let the neighbours see you in when you collect the paper.
Santoni double-buckle loafer
Guys need proper shoes that will last. Santoni knows that. Its signature double-buckle shoe is crafted from leather with Santoni’s artisanal “velatura” colour-grading technique, and features a sturdy, screen-printed strap inspired by the Centofinestre festival and its sky full of kites.
Brewdog Casa Rayos tequila
Brewdog isn't just about beers. It's also mad on tequila. The 100 per cent Blue Weber Agave Tequila, loaded with lime and orange citrus zest and notes of spicy cracked black pepper and pink peppercorn, is a smooth and mouthwatering drink destined for a paloma (or two).
Tissot Damian Lillard watch
Based on Tissot's gold PVD model, this timepiece was made in collaboration with American basketball player Damian Lillard and features a distinct black dial embossed with the number '0', a nod to Lillard's jersey number. The second hand features Damian’s monogram, while the bottom right-hand corner, marked 'DDKK', pays homage to his family members: Damian, Damian Lamonte Ollie, Kali Emma Lee, and Kalii Laheem.
Omega Seamaster Diver 300M
Premium Time Company believes that "Everyone should have a chance to own their dream watch." And so it runs competitions that allow its users to do exactly that. This Omega Seamaster Diver 300M is up for grabs, and it'll only cost you £14.99 to enter the competition. Not bad for one of the world's best watches.
Paul & Shark gilet
As we enter March you're probably thinking about packing away your overcoat. What to wear instead? Well it isn't warm enough to go sans top layer, nor is it mild enough for a shacket. So a gilet is a good answer. Paul & Shark's isn't just any gilet you'll see on your standard city banker though. This one is cut from Loro Piana wool, meaning it's super soft, ultra comfortable and insulating for the unpredictable spring weather.
