Cotton Tenugui

A traditional Japanese textile, the tenugui has been updated in this stylish take by Monocle. Designed in-house and made in Japan, this lightweight piece is available only to our customers, featuring an exclusive pattern and made from woven cotton. 

Oktoberfest cardigan

This cardigan from A Kind of Guise – a label renowned for its use of high-end materials – is a sophisticated take on a wardrobe staple. Crafted from soft lamb’s wool, this piece can blend easily into any style, elevating a casual look or adding a refined touch to a smarter outfit.

Rollneck sweater

This ecru-coloured rollneck sweater is an exclusive collaboration with Japanese cashmere brand Bodhi, a personal pick by Monocle’s fashion markets editor, Kyoko Tamoto. Made in Japan with a blend of cotton, linen and cashmere, it features a middle-gauge fabric for styling in all seasons while the raglan-sleeve design adds a relaxed touch to the piece.

Founded by Japanese fashion designer Satoshi Mizutani in 2018, Bodhi sources Mongolian cashmere to craft timelessly stylish pieces from cosy knee socks and gloves to jumpers, cardigans and trousers. Opting for a range of understated colours, Bodhi’s focus is on making use of cashmere’s naturally soft, luxuriously lightweight properties – without a trace of synthetic fabric.

Travel blanket

Experience luxury on the go with this ultra-soft and lightweight blanket, designed for the discerning traveller. Made in Scotland from a blend of cashmere and soft lambswool, this item offers unparalleled comfort on the move, making it a must-have for those seeking cosy warmth and a touch of indulgence.

House slippers

Wool artisans at the Burel Factory atop mainland Portugal’s highest mountains have kept their regions crafts alive since the facility was founded in the 19th century. Now, Monocle customers can also enjoy products from the Serra de Estrela range: navy or grey house slippers made by Burel workers using wool from local sheep, with Monocle’s customisations.

Duffle coat

The duffle coat, available in navy and camel, is designed with reinforced seams by Invertère – a British brand with a rich coat-making history that was revived in 2013 by a Japanese company after disappearing from the market in the 1980s. The coat is made using the finest herringbone fabric from English manufacturer, Joshua Ellis, renowned for its 250-year expertise in luxury woollen fabrics and sustainable practices. In a rare collaboration with Monocle, Invertère adds a unique finishing touch through exclusive co-branded buttons, departing from its usual independent-branding approach. Featuring real horn toggles with leather loops, the duffle coat layers well over shirts and lightweight jumpers.

Coach jacket

Knitwear brand Le Minor looked west across the Atlantic for inspiration when it was developing its take on the classic coach’s jacket. A riff on the US college sports staple, the brand’s French-made version features a thick Milano knit and comes in muted navy or grey colourways. But the slanted pockets, collar and snap buttons that characterise the iconic piece remain. Plus, Monocle has added an inner chest pocket for this exclusive collaboration.

Padded coat

Taking its design cues from a French military coat from the 1990s, this padded jacket is made in Japan and features an A-line silhouette and voluminous collar for warmth. Crafted from a taffeta weave made exclusively for padded items in Kiryū, this is a coat worth investing in for many winters to come.

Wool ribbed socks

Experience the ultimate blend of comfort and durability with these wool ribbed socks. Made in Japan, these socks are made from the wool of Polwarth sheep, which is prized for its exceptionally soft and fine coat. Bearing the Monocle brand at the sole, they are available in chocolate, forest green and navy in a ribbed design that will cocoon your feet in warmth and lightweight comfort.

Pencil case

Made in collaboration with Japanese stationery specialist Delfonics from highly durable waterproof PVC, this pencil case is set to last. It is ideal for everyday use or on your travels and can carry up to 10 of your favourite writing instruments.
