&SONS Pioneer II British Wool Cardigan – £200

This versatile, chunky knit &SONS Pioneer II British Wool Cardigan is ideal as the winter months draw in. This Classic, shawl neck cardigan gives an understated, relaxed look to your style, with a new, contemporary twist as &Sons have added Canada Tan Calfskin leather elbow patches with double stitching that really makes it stand out from the crowd and gives it a pleasing vintage feel. The Cardigan features a ribbed collar, cuff and hem, as well as the classic 5 leather buttons on the front. This is comfort, warmth and style in one garment.

&SONS Carver Jacket II – £140

&SONS Blue Bolt Chore Jacket – £140

The Blue Bolt Chore Jacket (£140) is &SONS homage to the classic French Blue Work jacket and one of our favourite pieces of outerwear from the UK clothing brand here at Coolector HQ. the Blue Bolt is a simple box cut Cotton jacket that &SONS have put through numerous washes to produce an authentic ‘worn in’ fade and patina to the indigo dyed Cotton Twill with 2% Elastine. Unlike the stiff hard cut French work jackets of the 1800’s – the Blue Bolt is a much softer, tactile cloth that is comfortable to wear, with freedom of movement while being hard wearing enough for work. It has some great features which will make it your go-to jacket for winter which includes large laid-on fabric pockets to front of jacket and straight open pockets. A great looking piece of outerwear that is positively dripping in old school cool. (£140)

&SONS Japanese Shibori Scarf – £50

Limited to just 20 pieces, the &SONS Japanese Shibori Scarf (£50) will add a touch of old school cool and panache to your outfit choices this winter. Crafted from 100% cotton and indigo tye dyed using the ancient Japanese technique of ‘Shibori’. Shibori is the Japanese word for a variety of ways of embellishing textiles by shaping cloth and securing it before dyeing. Every scarf is one of a kind due to the tie dye technique used to create each &SONS scarf to make it as individual as you. Looks great knotted with their whole range of layers, especially the ELDER shirt and LINCOLN waistcoat. (£50)

&SONS Logo Sweatshirt – £60

A good quality sweater is a layering essential for the winter months and if you’re after something effortlessly cool that will keep you warm and looking great, look no further than the &SONS Logo Sweater (£60). This classic staple &SONS sweatshirt is now available in this uber cool and stealthy washed out slate black colour that goes with more or less anything in your winter wardrobe.

It boasts the &SONS signature label on the cuff and goes great with their blue denims and white T-shirt underneath. Trust us, this will be a mainstay of your winter wardrobe rotation over the next few months. (£60)

You’re going to want to keep your head warm this winter and you’ll not find a cooler, more devilishly dapper way of doing so than one of these ace looking &SONS Traditional Baker Boy Hats(£85) which will really finish off any outfit with aplomb. Boasting a distinctive, Peaky Blinders-esque style aesthetic, the 8 piece flat cap style now often known as a Cabbie Cap, Paddy Cap, Newsboy Cap and Baker boy, became, like the immigrants that brought it with them, totally assimilated into the fabric of classic 20th Century Americana. Each one of these supremely stylish hats from &SONS has been designed and manufactured in the UK from 100% wool. This felted and brushed fabric is smooth and flat to the touch and wool melton is tightly woven and the weave is not highly visible to the naked eye because of the felting process. (£85)

&SONS Great Escape Duffel Bag – £125

Planning on taking some weekend breaks over winter? This &SONS Great Escape Duffel Bag (£125) will be the ideal carry for the job.

Paying further homage to the film, the bag features hand printed, distressed text that covers both pockets to give it that utilitarian feel. (£125)
