We’re going a bit upmarket for our final winter coat of the week – but if you can hold out a bit, you might get this Dior Homme wool military coat at a more affordable price in the new year sales, Very much in the style of an old military overcoat of the 19th century (think Napoleon, but sized up), …
I can’t say I’m a Jaeger regular, but a new range under the name Jaeger London label could change all of that. The label is aimed at a slightly younger crowd (which shouldn’t be hard), but using the cut and the style of the sixties to hit this new target market. The quality is a step up too – think …
A winter coat in every sense – this Woolrich Arctic Parka was originally developed in 1972 for the Alaskan pipeline workers, who had to work in temperatures as low as 40 below.

1. The 1970s Edition. There’s nothing like seeing a Melchester Rovers strip to bring back memories of a time when a footballer could get kidnapped, shot, have his foot amputated after a helicopter crash and STILL crack in a hat trick every week. Okay, maybe not after the amputation. Anyway, this 1970s Melchester kit remains the definitive edition, in Brandish’s …
Every day this week, I’ll be featuring some of the best winter coats in the stores, in a variety of styles and hopefully, with something to suit all pockets. First up is a classic that dates back to 1959 – the Alpha Industries pea coat.
Once the preserve of pensioners and geography teachers (with added leather patches), the cardigan is making a comeback, with the shops full of this “must have” winter fashion essential. But which one should you buy? Here’s my pick of the best – with a choice to suit most pockets.
This killer retro cardigan from Peter Werth is a must have for your autumn/ winter wardrobe. Most cardigans are clunky and make you look like a geography teacher, but this smart knitted cardigan with buttoned front and small pockets has great little features like epaulettes on the shoulder with cool stitching on the seam. You could get away with wearing …
With cold weather upon us, it’s time to put your Birkenstocks away, and pull out the woolens.

Naturally you don’t have to wear a straw boater …

What would Pete Doherty wear if he was going on a shooting weekend in the country? His trilbies are smart and ultra-fashionable, but they’re lacking that aristocratic je-ne-sais-quoi. However, headwear e-tailer Newurban appears to have the answer with its smart new range of tweed trilby hats. Well, almost. They’re warm and comfortable, cost £40 each, and come in four colours: …
