A coat, a pair of shoes and knitted gloves: there you have it for my new nuggets. Although they are not all entirely seasonal, they share the same love of brown . There was a time not so long ago when this color called for comments like “it looks grandpa”. Things change, the style continues and brands are strongly reinvesting brown in their collections. It's the color of autumn, and you have to admit that it's pretty good timing: here we are.
Mallory wool duffle coat - Thomas Farthing
Thanks to Sean Connery for the inspiration. After the peacoat from the previous episode, and for those of you who are still looking for a seasonal coat, I offer you another option already (well) worn by the Scottish actor: the duffle coat.
In this niche, the English brand Gloverall is a benchmark. But we can now count on the charm and particular character of Thomas Farthing to rediscover this emblematic piece of the British wardrobe.
Instead, look at this brown, 100% virgin wool duffle coat. Everything is there: the typical closure with rope and beech wood for those who like authenticity , the patch pockets on the front and for style a small original detail : This coat does not have a hood like that. This is often the case with this type of piece, but with a collar that is similar to that of the peacoat.
It's made in England
Like Jordan's recent Panache on the cardigan, I casually put the subject back on the table: what if clothes with "grandpa" connotations were to be reinvested? In any case, this is a coat that I hope you will like.
Suede boat shoes - Quoddy
Quoddy is an American brand discovered via Jinji . If the pair of indoor shoes mentioned in our selection of slippers appeals to you, then perhaps you will take a look at the rest of the Quoddy collection.
There you can find belts and other accessories, boots, slippers, moccasins and different varieties of boat shoes.
David had already looked into the question of boats in our Readers' Mail . Here I add a small stone to the building with this pretty pair made in the USA which seems to have everything to please us.
If you've looked through my shoe closet inventory, you've probably noticed that walking in my house is not a trivial thing. Despite the undeniable quality of the dressy pairs I have, I regularly prefer sneakers. Facilitated by. And also above all because it is more comfortable and less tiring in the long run than a pair of shoes.
If this problem is not unknown to you, or simply if you are looking for comfort , this pair of Quoddy has a certain number of advantages: its aesthetic, its Vibram sole, its successful marriage of smooth leather and leather. suede from the very famous Horween tannery. Everything indicates solidity and the pairs are also guaranteed for one year in the event of a problem.
It's not the best choice for the season, but since after the rain and the cold come the sunny days, it might be worth taking a look now, right?
Cashmere gloves - Johnstons Of Elgin
With winter and the cold inevitably comes dry hands and hellish cracks if you're not careful. To combat this phenomenon, there are leather gloves: robust, reliable, very warm but sometimes a little imposing. Lighter but potentially less durable : mesh gloves.
Those from the Johnstons of Elgin brand are made of cashmere and come from Scotland . They are available in several colors, but since we are here on the brown theme, the “ dark chocolate ” model will be ideal.
Sobriety and luxury quality at a price that is still accessible : if by chance you want to test the quality of the brand, these gloves are a first small gateway. It's also a nice and useful gift idea this season.
For something less expensive but in the same spirit, take a look at the merino gloves from Le Modeste .
