Features and categories
Men's clothing on this page consists of individual separates designed to be paired. The catalog does not feature full suits: it includes jackets, knitwear, trousers, denim, sweatshirts, t-shirts, shirts, polo shirts, and swimwear. Brands come from different traditions: American workwear and heritage (Carhartt WIP, Filson, Chesapeake's, Sebago), British and European labels (Universal Works, Weekend Offender, Armor-lux, Howlin'), and premium-casual Italian manufacturing (Bl'ker Vintage, Fortela, Manifattura Ceccarelli, Briglia 1949). Some carry long traditions: Filson was founded in 1897, Armor-lux in 1938, Sebago in 1946, and Edwin in 1947.
Jackets and outerwear
Outerwear is the largest category in the selection and sets the foundation for the outfit. Before considering color, evaluate three factors: fabric weight, lining, and fit. These determine warmth and layering capacity: a regular fit accommodates medium-weight knitwear, whereas a shorter, slim cut requires thin layers.
Knitwear and sweatshirts
These serve as mid-layers between a t-shirt or shirt and a jacket. Knitwear represents the second-largest category, offering structure to a refined look, while sweatshirts deliver a casual feel. Yarn weight, fabric weight, and body length determine whether a piece is worn beneath a jacket or on its own.
Trousers and denim
Trousers define the character of an ensemble through fabric choice. Denim and corduroy suit daily casual wear; cashmere and wool trousers elevate the same cut to a formal register. Edwin brings Japanese denim to the catalog, referencing cut and wash directly in model names.
Shirts, t-shirts, and polo shirts
Serving as base layers, fabric takes precedence over graphics. Neutral tones pair effortlessly with jackets and knitwear without forcing contrast.

How to choose
Men's casual wear
Outfits begin with two foundational items: a jacket and denim. Base layers—t-shirts, shirts, sweatshirts, and polo shirts—are selected by color and weight, graduating from lighter fabrics next to the skin to heavier outer garments. Portobello shades, ranging from navy to military, hazelnut to chocolate, blend seamlessly together and complement blue denim.
Smart casual men's clothing
Trousers dictate the tone. A Portobello in cashmere-wool or camel corduroy replaces denim, elevating the outfit to a refined standard without requiring a suit. Pair with fine knitwear or a shirt under a jacket. Keeping surrounding elements understated works best: feature a single textured fabric alongside solid tones.
Winter clothing
Layering provides optimal insulation: base layers of t-shirts, shirts, or polo shirts; mid-layers of knitwear or sweatshirts; outer layers of jackets. Multiple thin layers offer better temperature control than a single heavy piece. Selecting the jacket first allows precise calibration of underlying knitwear.
Size and fit
Sizing varies across brands despite identical tag measurements. Focus on the fit (regular, loose, straight, tapered) before selecting size. Comparing garment measurements against a well-fitting personal item ensures accuracy.
FAQ
Does the catalog include formal suits?
No. The selection consists of separates, and full suits are not offered. For a tailored appearance, combine trousers, knitwear, and a jacket as outlined in the smart casual section.
What is the difference between Regular Straight and Regular Tapered jeans?
Regular denotes a balanced fit—neither tight nor oversized. Straight maintains a straight leg from knee to ankle, while Tapered offers a regular thigh that narrows toward the ankle.
What do Rinsed, Unwashed, and Dark Used mean in jean model names?
These terms specify the wash treatments. Unwashed indicates raw denim, Rinsed denotes a single pre-rinse, while Dark Used and Deep Dark Used refer to dark washes, the latter being deeper. The name establishes the initial color tone, which lightens with wear and home washing.
Are the items on this page from the current season?
The majority are from the current season. Remaining items consist of carryover styles or stock from previous collections.
