Hamilton And Hare Mid Zip Hooded Sweat
It’s likely for pants, rather than sportswear, that you know London label Hamilton and Hare best. But with the launch of its new Calzaghe collection – a range of activewear and underwear inspired by champion boxer Joe ‘Pride of Wales’ Calzaghe – the brand’s punching up its offering. Fronting the new line is this high-tech hoodie. Cut from lightweight spacer fabric that’s both temperature-regulating and crease-resistant, it’ll help you land punches in style. Available at Hamilton and Hare, priced £175.

These military green cargos from Italian engineers Stone Island are crafted from lightweight cotton canvas to keep you cool, while their slight taper ensures you’ll cut a far smarter figure than your dad at the weekend. Available at Stone Island, priced £175.

Plus – coming in 20oz calico cotton canvas complete with a black full-grain leather trim – it looks good, too. Not bad for the price of a night out. Available at Stighlorgan, priced £79.

Fantastic Man No. 23
Print is dead, they say. But ‘they’ probably haven’t yet pored over the hot-off-the-press spring/summer 2016 issue of Fantastic Man, the thinking man’s style biannual.

Which makes for a (more edifying) change from your morning Metro. Available at newsstands, priced £6.
