Purdey Canvas Tote
Ideal for your morning commute, or shopping trip, this khaki canvas tote bag from British brand Purdey is crafted from cotton canvas and accented with calf leather trims, giving it a sturdy feel. It features bridle leather handles for comfortable carrying and durability, while inside, a convenient leather piece with an attached hook keeps your essentials secure.
Clothsurgeon Lux Brown Suede Chore Jacket
It's rare that garments are actually made down the road these days, but that's true for this jacket from Clothsurgeon. Made in London, this 100 per cent calfskin jacket is created at the brand's in-house atelier, and is done so on a made-to-order service, with each one taking around 4-6 weeks to make.
Russell & Bromley trainers
Every guy needs a pair of white trainers. With a streamlined silhouette and crafted from premium leather, Rusell & Bromley's are top of the pile. The retro inspired kicks are made in Portugal from premium materials and sit on a grippy, rubber sole. An essential for any man.
Mocktails Nitro Alcohol-Free Espresso Martini
If you're planning on carrying on that dry January spell throughout February, then look no further. A rich espresso with light brown crema foam head, with aromas of sweet coffee and vanilla, this Alcohol-Free Espresso Martini from Mocktails is as good as the real thing (without the headache the next day).
U-Boat Worx Super Sub
The Super Sub is the most hydrodynamic sub on the market, and moves faster than a bottle nose dolphin. With the ability to go 300 m under the water's surface, it has the best-in-class propulsion system with four powerful thrusters delivering 60 kW of thrust, and when combined with the rudders, it allows for steep 30-degree climbs and dives. It makes for an exhilarating underwater experience.
Panerai Radiomir 8 Giorni Eilean
Hand-wound mechanical, Panerai's Radiomir 8 Giorni Eilean is a new limited-edition timepiece that invites collectors to explore the cultural richness of Sicily. The model features bronze recovered from the Bermudian ketch Eilean and Panerai’s proprietary Bronzo alloy. Restored from copper and tin for a rugged look, it has a burnished Brunito Steel finish. The watch’s 45mm case is complemented by a dark brown leather strap embossed with “1936”, which is the boat’s launch year.
David Gandy Wellwear Restore Zip Funnel Neck
David Gandy's on a mission to make clothes that are actually good for your body. His Wellwear Restore zip-up does exactly that. Body heat is absorbed by the upper thin layer of fabric and reflected back to your body via Far Infrared rays. This helps with blood flow, in turn circulating oxygen and nutrients around your body. Not bad!
Grand Seiko ‘Icefall’ Hi-Beat 1998 Revival in Titanium
Grand Seiko's ‘Icefall’ Hi-Beat 1998 Revival in Titanium echoes the design of the first ever Grand Seiko mechanical 9S watch launched in 1998. Its appearance is inspired by the surroundings of the Grand Seiko Shizukuishi studio where the brand’s mechanical timepieces are handcrafted in house by Takumi artisans. Meanwhile the ‘Icefall’ 40mm case is crafted from High-Intensity Titanium – 30 per cent lighter than stainless steel - and the new dial pattern is in an ice blue, inspired by the natural ‘icefall’ phenomenon seen when the natural springs near to Mount Iwate freeze over.
Mr Marvis Easies Cosmics trousers
The Easies Cosmics from Mr Marvis take the form of dark blue knitted stretch trousers, allowing for next-level comfortable. They feature an elasticated waistband, drawstrings, a signature hidden zip pocket inside the right-hand pocket and an uncuffed ankle design.
