Ripstop down vest

From North America’s leading specialists in down-garment making, this ripstop vest is crafted with high-grade white goose down. Featuring an exclusive colour combination designed only for Monocle by Crescent Down Works, it features a double zipper, a wind-resistant nylon shell and deep, down-padded pockets.  

Established in Seattle in 1974, Crescent Down Works specialises in down vests. The label’s founder, Anne Michelson, was once hired by premium outerwear brand Eddie Bauer to set up its first down-testing laboratory. Michelson used her specialities to start her own business, which has since then produced a sophisticated range of made-to-order outerwear. Now helmed by Michelson’s daughter Annie, each of the label’s pieces is handcrafted by a team of skilled seamstresses in the brand’s Seattle atelier.

Otto Sepp hat

Handmade in Austria from wool felt by heritage millinery brand Mühlbauer, this narrow-brimmed traveller hat is as easy to fold away and care for as a beanie. Peek inside the hat to find a Monocle-exclusive ribbon in brown, white and anthracite, completing its vintage look. 

Established more than a century ago in the quiet Viennese suburb of Floridsdorf, Mühlbauer has become one of the world’s most prominent milliners, valued by designer brands from Kenzo to Comme des Garçons. Combining hand-crafting techniques with contemporary design, Mühlbauer is the go-to for sophisticated headwear with a statement twist.
