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.

Herringbone twill jacket

Reflecting the vintage style associated with Post O’Alls, this ecru coverall is constructed with a band-free collar and a one-piece sleeve design. Notable details include three acorn-shaped patch pockets with a visible inner pocket stitching on the front. Made in Japan from a durable cotton herringbone fabric, this coverall is a staple for navigating seasonal transitions.

Considered the “wizard of workwear”, Takeshi Ofuchi has been meticulously constructing detailed garments under the label Post O’Alls since 1993. Ofuchi continues to draw inspiration from the distinct patterns and materials of American Machine Age workwear from the 1920s and 1930s to create a wardrobe of shirts and jackets with a vintage allure.

Half-zip sweatshirt

This half-zip cotton sweatshirt offers the best of Berlin-based heritage brand Merz B Schwanen. Production was run on the label’s 100-year old loopwheeler exclusively for this collaboration with Monocle, creating a unique fabric blend with a feel unachievable on modern looms. Featuring one front pocket.

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.

Fox easy trousers

The companion to the Fox blazer, these trousers are also made from textured linen and wool for added interest to an otherwise pared-back outfit. The slightly curved legs of the cut provide a breezy update on the standard suit – ideal for an aperitivo after a day at the office. Founded in 2011, Lyon-based Arpenteur crafts every item of clothing entirely in France. Founded by Marc Asseily and Laurent Bourven, the brand excels at menswear with references to utilitarian workwear, outerwear and sportswear. Recently, the French duo have been perfecting sartorial classics for a modern wardrobe, like five-pocket trousers and durable jackets.

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.

Travel blazer

Inspired by American classics, this travel blazer nods to 1960s college attire with its tartan pattern and casual cuffs. The deep green, navy blue and black pattern offers a versatile yet smart style that pairs well with any look. Made in Japan from 100 per cent wool, this blazer features thermoregulation and anti-wrinkle properties, making it ideal for both short trips and long journeys.

Pepper mill terracotta

Blending art and design into daily life, Sebastian Marbacher's pepper mill offers a modern reinterpretation of a timeless piece. Clean lines and a classic form highlight the tight-grain pattern and sleek finish of the natural wood body, while off-white and terracotta tones create a striking contrast that makes this mill a beautiful addition to any dining table.

Mickfield gilet

Underscoring Lavenham’s dedication to practicality, the Mickfield gilet combines style, functionality and convenience. Made from recycled polyester, the lightweight piece packs neatly into your bag, serving as the perfect layering piece for extra warmth, texture and colour.

Fleece overshirt

This fluffy wool fleece overshirt that comes in earthy colours of hazelnut or ivory, is a flawless combination of style and function, as superb Italian tailoring is brought together with a mountainous character. This is an alpine treasure for your wardrobe that we recommend wearing on crisp walks in undiscovered cities or on your nearest peak. Taking its cues from its Italian (and, specifically, South Tyrolean) heritage, Rier makes a point of collaborating with family-run businesses, small factories and local communities in the Alpine region. All the brand’s items are manufactured on a made-to-order basis to avoid overproduction and unnecessary surplus.
