Words: Josh Lee
Czech & Speake grooming set
Housing all the grooming staples you’ll ever need – including a silver badge shaving brush which will create a perfect lather, a silver Mach III anodised aluminium razor, the Cuba aftershave shaker and Czech & Speake’s signature smoky fragrance, No88 – this long-grain leather wash bag is the ideal set to see you through any city break you have planned in the next few weeks.
Marius brushed wool and cashmere-blend rollneck by Norse Projects
As wardrobe classics go, a high-quality rollneck has to be ranked as one of the most versatile of them all. Whether layered underneath a blazer or your go-to denim jacket, it pairs incredibly well with everything and makes your ensemble appear more sophisticated instantly. This version by Norse Projects is crafted from a wool and cashmere-blend to ensure the softest of touches and is made with a relaxed cut.
Nike AeroLoft quilted shell and jersey hooded half-zip jacket
With the winter chill truly setting in, your pre-work run is become less appealing by the day. But, with the AeroLoft quilted shell, you’ll definitely reconsider. Packed with down to lock in heat around the torso and made with precision-placed perforations to allow constant ventilation, this running jacket will keep you insulated, yet cool, when you pound the pavement in the coming months.
Moreover, it’s crafted with a longer back hem to ensure it won’t ride up during movements and the reflective trims will make you visible even during these dark mornings. Better still, its one of the most lightweight training jerseys on the market, so you’ll be able to workout without the extra weight. Sleek, functional and undeniably stylish, this is one of the finest products from the team behind the swoosh.
Estwood luxury box set
If you’re on the hunt for a gift that’ll please even the most miserable of humbugs, you can’t go wrong with the Estwood box set by Ted Baker. Inside this luxury package you’ll find a range of menswear must-haves (including a stretch cotton shirt, leather strap watch, leather card holder and floral pocket square and tie), gastronomic treats (such as a pack of salted caramel chocolate puddles by Chocolat) and two Odeon cinema vouchers so you can catch any film you want during the upcoming Oscar period. Even if you’ve got your present list sorted, there’s no harm in gifting it to yourself; ’tis the season of giving, after all.
Elite Luxury soap by Floris
Hand-wrapped and triple-milled, the Elite Luxury soap by Floris is made with mellow woody notes which are elevated by hints of citrus, bergamot, cedar leaf and spicy juniper berry. Hints of amber and leather give it a warm quality, while the vegetable base produces a rich, creamy lather. A must-have for any gent’s bathroom.
Lowa Renegade GTX
Thanks to its use of PU technology, 1.6mm nubuck leather and innovative sole construction, this classic Renegade GTX is a comfortable, durable and multi-functional boot that’s suited to all weather elements. Better still, the Gore-Tex lining ensures that it remains waterproof and the Monowrap construction web guarantees that all parts of your feet are constantly protected.
Chanel Pour Monsieur eau de parfum
Now that we’ve entered December, that can only mean one thing; it’s tux season. And, while you’ll be focusing on what new black tie ensemble to pick up in the next few days, make sure you also purchase a scent that’s just as special as the garments you’ll be wearing – Pour Monsieur by Chanel is a certified winner.
Woody with a fresh burst of citrus, this fragrance also contains spicy notes of nutmeg and a rich, creamy hit of Madagascan vanilla. Our tip to you? One spray will suffice: it’s a bold, long-lasting (but not overbearing) scent that will last throughout the evening.
David Gandy pyjamas for Autograph
Pairing timeless design with the softest materials, this pyjama top is the result of a collaboration between menswear designer Autograph and renowned model David Gandy. Crafted from supima cotton (a superior type of cotton that boasts extra-long staple fibre) and designed with added stretch and a marl grey colourway, this after-hours essential has elevated Sunday slouching to new style heights.
