Hundreds of cyclists have travelled through London clad in tweed, celebrating the annual Tweed Run that started in 2008 with a small group of friends.

"Monograms let you know that the wearer has achieved a certain level of success; they can afford to [customize something] from a time and a financial perspective."

Ian Berry's Secret Garden, constructed entirely from recycled denim, showcases the innovative use of materials in textile art, emphasizing sustainability and creativity.

Washi, because of its quality and texture, offers something not just tactile but psychologically soothing. It's about one-third the weight of cotton, light, breathable and dry to the touch.

In 1971, Manolo Blahnik created shoes for the designer Ossie Clark's catwalk show in London. Relatively new to shoemaking, the Spanish designer forgot to put steel pins in the heels of the shoes, which meant that models wobbled, unbalanced, down the catwalk.

But this week I spotted an ingenious use for the extras, courtesy of NY-based company Proche Studio. Here's their proposal: Mail in a wool blanket, and they'll give it new life in the form of a great-looking-and uber snug-chore coat, vest, or scarf. I'm particularly smitten by the chore coat, a fresh version of the quilt coats that became popular a couple of years ago, and much, much warmer.

The safari jacket owes much of its makeup to this lighter-weight cousin. Safari jackets were worn by troops in all the warm-weather colonial trips made by the turn of the (20th) century European powers.

The Barbour family has paid itself a £30 million dividend after a fashion-led revival of waxed jackets helped drive a sharp increase in profits at the heritage outerwear group. Accounts filed at Companies House show that J Barbour & Sons posted a £10 million rise in operating profit to £49.5 million in the year to the end of April, as renewed demand for its signature waxed jackets boosted sales and margins. The company, founded in 1894 and still wholly owned by the founding family, has benefited from a resurgence in popularity as waxed jackets returned to fashion, driven by collaborations with luxury labels, musicians and designers that have broadened its appeal among younger consumers.

Wall Street's tailors keep New York City's financiers looking sharp and professional. Some have been tailors most of their lives, while others are comparatively new to the trade. Here's an inside look at the businesses that dress Wall Street.

I did an internal crowdsource to invite everyone to submit their ideas about how they would like to celebrate 170 years. We've played around with a lot of cinematic narratives, but this time, I felt we should probably do something a little bit more institutional to reflect the anniversary year. The trench offered a way to celebrate a cornerstone of Burberry's past, while showing its relevance across generations and geographies.

It's easier than ever to buy a suit. Mall mainstays like J.Crew make very good ones in a range of fits, with a seasonally rotating selection of new and interesting cloths. Affordable specialists like Suitsupply and Spier & Mackay offer impressive quality while pricing everything from two-button jackets to full-fledged tuxedos for far less than it seems they should be able to.

Both are made in Scotland with Mackintosh's most famous innovation, waterproofed cotton, with the inclusion of CP Company's equally recognizable goggles in the hood. The coats are handmade, with panels being sewn, attached and sealed in Mackintosh's Scottish factory in North Lanarkshire, where seams are coated in water repellent to provide protection from both wind and rain. The two styles, the longer goggle car coat and waist-length goggle jacket, come with raglan sleeves, hidden fastenings, and adjustable cuffs.

Wax London is here to get us all outdoors this spring with its new-season collection 'The Outside is On'. Keeping the brand's balance of timelessness, craft and wearability, the new collection is a celebration of the optimism of spring - and yes, that means colour.

That past is his - it is the 20th anniversary of his label, and accordingly he decided to embrace, engage, even embed himself in his own history. Which, in and of itself, is a history of histories - Moralıoğlu's office is peppered with random 1930s portraits (the ones his husband, the architect Philip Joseph, won't let him keep in their Bloomsbury home) and old, time-warped issues of Vogue, as well as overflows of books on everything from Merce Cunningham to Alfred Hitchcock.

As with anything military-inspired, we're inclined tell you the best version of a B-3 bomber is real, genuine military surplus. The problem is that original B-3 bomber jackets aged like milk sitting out on the counter. The military stopped issuing the jacket during World War IIit was already getting phased out by 1943and those that were issued almost all saw use with high-altitude bomber crews, so that's part of the problem.

In this freezing season, we're thinking warm thoughts. Hot chocolate, '90s rom-coms, purring kittens, and the best luxury throw blankets. "Feels like -6 degrees" day after day has us dreaming up cozy blankets speciated for sophisticated lounging. We're talking thick wool that's not scratchy, cashmere not prone to pilling, oversized throws as soft as your favorite sweater. High-quality textiles are of the highest import, and we'll even pay the dry cleaning fee for this level of comfort.

There are shifts in fashion that arrive without noise. They don't demand attention, yet they gradually reshape the way people dress with surprising clarity. The renewed presence of women's suits fits into this kind of quiet transformation. It isn't about looking back or reviving old dress codes. It reflects a growing appetite for clarity, intention and proportion - qualities that feel increasingly valuable in a moment defined by constant visual stimulation.

A good winter coat can be the difference between dreading winter and enjoying the season. Think about it: The right coat can offer you comfort and warmth even in freezing temperatures, making it more likely you'll enjoy venturing outside, whether it's just to a dinner with friends or a challenging winter hike. If you're on the hunt for a high-quality layer, now's a great time to add a new cold-weather staple to your closet.

Continuing its journey of consistent, evolutionary development, the collection embodies Lardini's Code of Making: craftsmanship as a cultural value, an aesthetic stance, and a catalyst for innovation. The intersection of traditional tailoring and technological precision culminates in materials that convey meaning, while process quality emerges as the true luxury. The FW26/27 collection unfolds through four interwoven expressions: Contemporary Tailoring, Iconic Outerwear, Knitwear Layering, and Sophisticated Casual, creating a coherent yet understated aesthetic.

Choosing a particular model does not necessarily mean focusing on excessive colour, but rather knowing how to identify the lines and volumes that communicate a precise aesthetic vision that breaks with convention. This process requires a certain awareness of materials and proportions, as a shoe with a strong design has the ability to transform even the simplest outfit into a sophisticated and modern style statement.
