Lee Cooper Norris Slim Fit Jeans
The menswear world has screen icons like James Dean to thank for making jeans the staple they are today. However, Europe`s oldest denim brand, Lee Cooper, came well before the Rebel Without a Cause.

John Sterner Turtleneck Fisherman Sweater

Superdry Rookie Heavy Weather Field Jacket
Like most things in modern menswear, the field jacket got its start in the military, but soon took a different turn as a staple of safari life.

Available at Superdry, priced £84.99.
