Huntsman Tan Linen Herringbone Jacket

With better weather finally peaking through, it’s probably safe for us to start investing in some summer-style pieces once again. When it comes to tailoring, consider this lightweight jacket, which is defined by its linen make-up and herringbone weave, both of which combine to create a soft, breathable structure that fares well in the heat.
Brunello Cucinelli Leisure Fit Trousers

Keeping things just as breezy down below are Brunello Cucinelli’s trousers, which hit the sweet spot between smart and casual; whereas the double pleats and straight silhouette add a formal slant, the twisted linen and drawstring provide a dressed-down quality.
Lochlea Cask Strength Batch 2

Ideal for a belated Father’s Day gift, Lochlea’s second batch draws upon an eclectic mix of casks: Pedro Ximénez, which offers a sweet mustiness; oloroso sherry, which adds a dry, creamy quality; and STR barriques (shaved, toasted and re-charred barrels). The result is a deep-ruby liquid, and the flavour is far bolder than that of its predecessor (which, itself, has a reputable status among aficionados).
Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M

With the Paris Olympics just over a month away, Omega, which will be the official timekeeper of the Games, has released some apt new wristwear that nods to Armand “Mondo” Duplantis, a Swedish pole vaulter who won gold at Tokyo. As such, the watch, whose case is made of stainless steel, uses a subtle scheme of blue (the rubber strap and the dial) and yellow (contrast stitching and a central seconds hand that evokes a pole vault).
New & Lingwood Brown Linen Safari Jacket

Using that failsafe recipe of practicality and a tailored aesthetic, this is the ideal piece for summer travels thanks, largely, to the four front pockets that can stow away on-the-go essentials, including your smartphone, passport and tickets. The drawstring waist allows for a fitted look, if required, and the real horn buttons add subtle touches of interest.
Cheaney Brown Waxy Commander Belt

Handcrafted in England from the same durable waxed leather as Cheaney’s classic Chelsea boots, the Commander Belt is built to last, ensuring you’ll reach for it time and again. The addition of accent stitching and an antique copper buckle lend it that extra bit of character.
Rado Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton

If you enjoy marvelling at your watch’s inner workings, Rado’s Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton is a timepiece to behold. The skeleton dial showcases its innovative R808 movement, the various parts of which are nicely contrasted with a sleek, polished, rotatable bezel and minimalist geometric indices.
Kempt Vintage Rose Garment Dyed Cotton Long Sleeve Shirt

Add a subtle pop of pink to your wardrobe this summer, in the form of this relaxed garment-dyed shirt from Kempt. Crafted from 100 per cent cotton and finished in a soft wash, it’s an ultra-comfortable staple that will be on high rotation. Team with your favourite pair of worn-in blue jeans and retro-inspired trainers for an effortless weekend look.
Quarter Proof London Dry Spirit

Thanks to Quarter Proof’s London Dry Spirit, you can experience the flavour and fun of your favourite gin cocktail, without the horrendous hangover. At 15 per cent ABV, it’s the perfect antidote to all-or-nothing drinking. Serve with chilled tonic and a wedge of grapefruit, or mix it into a negroni.
KEF LSX II LT

Don’t be fooled by its compact size: KEF’s LSX II LT speaker packs a punch when it comes to audio quality and clarity. A new wireless addition to KEF’s award-winning LSX family, it’s a welcome newbie to the next generation of plug-and-play speaker systems. Celebrate its launch with a visit to the recently opened KEF Music Gallery London, a new centre for discovery, exploration and immersion, where guests can access a selection of versatile experiential zones and facilities to fully plug in.
