Ted Baker Global – Luxury With Personality
Quirky British heritage brand Ted Baker has long had a reputation for providing the style-conscious male with refined, high quality pieces that ooze character and personality.
Enhancing their reputation, FashionBeans is proud to introduce the latest chapter of Ted’s Global collection: a premium, limited edition capsule range of menswear.
Offering all the key pieces any man needs for autumn/winter, it’s a lovingly crafted wardrobe featuring high-end fabrications and exceptional attention to detail. Buttery-soft leather sits alongside lavish but relaxed Mongolian cashmere, while flawless outerwear and sleek tailoring is crafted in Italian wool-blends.
A carefully curated selection of handcrafted accessories complete the line, with luxe bags, card holders and Derby shoes rounding out your look with style and panache.
Available in an extremely limited run, each item is rare and well-appointed – ensuring that all-important sense of individuality we all crave.
Key Focus: Tailoring
An area where Ted Baker continue to excel, tailoring is a key part of the new Global collection. Featuring full suits and separates in beautifully rich autumnal colour ways and classic Prince of Wales checks, they are ideal for putting together sharp and sophisticated looks for a variety of cold-weather occasions.
Constructed to the highest standard using 100 per cent pure Italian virgin wool, or wool/silk/cashmere-blends, each and every piece is the epitome of understated luxury. Attention to detail is paramount, with key features including hand-finished lapel pin badges, printed linings and authentic horn buttons.
The highlight has to be the Primhil three-piece suit in teal (below). Crafted from an Italian wool-blend, its modern cut and striking colour way will ensure you effortlessly stand out from the crowd this party season:

Key Focus: Outerwear
Your choice of coat is arguably the most important decision you’ll make once the weather takes a turn for the worse. Not only is it your first line of defence against the elements, but it’s often the first thing that others notice too – Ted’s Global collection will help ensure you make the right impression.
Three distinct silhouettes are on offer, including:
The Chelzee: A traditional Chesterfield coat that has been crafted from pure Italian wool in a fine check motif. A three-quarter length style, its slim, tailored cut will ensure you look sharp no matter what the occasion.
Available in a timeless navy colour way, it comes complete with a concealed placket and peak lapels for a sleek, clean-lined finish.
The Willems: A beautifully cut double-breasted pea coat that has been given a sumptuous modern update through its premium shearling leather construction, which will only get better with age.
It comes in a rich chocolate brown colour way and features authentic horn buttons, zip pulls and a collar buckle. The epitome of classic with a twist.
The Hamzted: This shearling-collared overcoat is available in classic charcoal and beautifully rich dark green. Able to be dressed up or down effortlessly, it’s crafted from 100 per cent virgin wool and cut slim to produce a sophisticated silhouette.
The details are what make this coat so special: the printed lining injects personality into a traditional design; the detachable shearling collar adds character and texture; while the genuine horn buttons and embroidered under collar shows true attention to detail. A must-own for any contemporary gent.
Key Focus: Knitwear
Knitwear is an essential component of any successful cold-weather wardrobe, and the Ted Baker Global collection again delivers a wealth of refined and versatile staples in luxurious fabrics.
Pure Mongolian cashmere v-neck jumpers are ideal for wearing over the top of a shirt and dressing down your tailoring collection, while wool-cashmere blend cable-knits will help add depth and texture to any off-duty look.
Available in a wide range of rich autumnal colour ways – including teal, dark red, deep purple, dark green and blue – use them to inject life into a traditionally dreary season:
- Ted Baker Gigha Pure Cashmere V-neck Knitwear
- Ted Baker Jarrow Cashmere Blend Knitwear
- Ted Baker Jarrow Cashmere Blend Knitwear
- Ted Baker Jarrow Cashmere Blend Knitwear
- Ted Baker Duxford Deluxe Wool Cashmere Blend Knitwear

Key Focus: Accessories
Any well-dressed gent understands the importance of accessories – after all, the details make the man. Ted’s Global collection features a curated selection of bags, footwear and small leather goods, which would provide the perfect finishing touch to any smart ensemble.
There is a clear focus on high shine finishes running throughout, with patent leather bi-fold wallets and card holders sitting alongside a beautiful metallic gradient suede document holder:
However, the highlight has to be the Lync suede Derby shoes. Crafted from 100 per cent bovine leather, they come in dark green and navy colour ways and feature a metallic ombre design that is finished by hand.
This contemporary ombre effect catches the light beautifully and seemingly alters with every step taken, bringing a sense of individuality and subtle statement to your formal attire, especially when matched with a well-cut Italian cloth suit.
They come complete with an authentic thick wooden sole and hand finished trim:
