Classic lightweight fedora from ‘Borsalino‘, made from sisal straw. Features a ribbon band & a 6cm brim tipped with the same ribbon. Re-Stocked in ‘Wheat‘ or ‘Navy‘ – Made in Italy

Our first few pieces for Fall 2010 have started arriving, beginning with knitwear from S.N.S. Herning

Firstly the ‘Version Cardigan’ a high buttoning cardigan available in ‘Sea Blue‘ or ‘Burgundy‘ – quite a light piece of knitwear compared to other S.N.S. pieces, so its perfect for early fall over a tee or a shirt. Next we have the ‘Vent Sweater’ in ‘Midnight Blue’ and ‘Olde Green’ – this is very similar to the Origo Sweater from last fall however this seasons ‘Vent Sweater’ is in a boiled wool, creating a much softer handle.

The classic ‘Naval Pullover‘  in a gorgeous Navy & Brown  striped color way, & another classic, the ‘Fang Crew Neck‘ a heavy ribbed sweater is available in Navy. As always we’ve got some hats & scarves to complement the knitwear.

Look out for the ‘Stark’ next week, this we have in three great colors

Lightweight linen cap from Borsalino, featuring a breathable mesh lining, padded peak and an embossed leather tag…………. Made in Italy

Available in ‘Natural’ and ‘Light Blue’

A few new pieces from Saint James, including the Rhuys cardigan in Navy. The sailor’s cap is now available in ecru, & has also been restocked in both red & navy. We have restocked the ‘Binic II’
sweater, the Ouessant pullovers & striped socks too.

Some stunning hats for the recent cold snap. especially if you are in the North East like us! The Borsalino flat caps, 2 in super luxurious grey or blue herringbone cashmere & a version in a brown wool-mix fabric, all with an ingenious knitted fold down ear warmer part which tucks away nicely  if not needed. Secondly the Drakes ‘Hat Scarf’ in Navy/Red or Green/Beige merino wool. These can be worn as a hat or be pulled out & turned into a striped scarf. Inspired by the hats that wives would knit for their husbands to keep them warm during the 1st world war.

Established in 1857, Borsalino is synonymous with style and elegance, & are considered by many as the finest hats in the world. They produce their own felt from the finest Belgian lapin fur at their factory in Alessandria, Italy. Their felt hats are still produced today just as they were a hundred years ago.
From them we have some ‘Legionnaire’ hats in 3 colorways, Camel, Charcoal & Navy, all with fold down ear flaps & a short bill, made from a wool, alpaca & mohair mix fabric which makes these hats warm light & very luxurious.

Came across this company when a close freind returned from an estate sale wearing one on his head & we decided on the spot that we had to get them for C’H'C’M’. Nice & simple with some real working details. There are 3 styles, firstly the ‘Classic sailing & Tennis hat‘ in a soft cotton twill – this will look better with use as you adjust & shape it to suit your personal style, can be crushed up, thrown into the bottom of your bag & pulled out in times of need, has a nice navy underbrim that helps absorb reflected light. The ‘Swordfish Cap’ is in a heavy canvas with a real long bill  that can be worked & shaped to your preference. The extra long bill as well as the green underbrim really help keep you in the shade. Lastly, the ‘Casco Bay’ hat, in a rigid 11oz natural canvas. Underside of the brim is in green & can be turned up either side & snap fastened to stay put. All the hardware is in brass which creates a great contrast on the canvas.

Look out for some ‘made in Japan’ workshirts coming in over the next couple of weeks.
