Proper Picks – August 2024

The tail end of the traditional summer sale period combines with practical outdoor stuff you need right now. This month’s Proper Picks is another mixed bag.


Kavu Trail Runner Hat
Though this hat is clearly modelled on the type of thing those energetic young joggers would wear in summer, you need not don a pair of expensive runners and rush anywhere. This will suit you down to the ground whether you’re doing cock all on a beach, or pottering about the city. It’s a top companion for your summertime manoeuvres, no matter what they are.

Kavu River Short
Let’s go straight in with a second entry from Kavu. Seattle’s finest simply make great outdoor lifestyle gear, whether it be the headwear already eulogised about above, or this pair of infinitely wearable shorts. Lightweight and in a love brick colour, these are the shorts every holiday wardrobe will benefit from.

Museum of Peace and Quiet Earth Pilgrim T-Shirt
Goodhood always come up with the goods when it comes to interesting t-shirts from brands that aren’t widely available. This Earth Pilgrim tee from Museum of Peace and Quiet fits that bill like a muzzle on a duck. Not used that metaphor for a while.

Massimo Osti Studio Birnam Jacket
If you’re a high roller or have recently come into money, you’re undoubtedly going to be in the market for this sort of thing from the newly launched MO Studio. Acting as an uncompromising halo line for the work of the sadly missed Massimo Osti, this gear is expensive but you get what you pay for.

Meanforme Tabacco Risedale Boot

Virustatic Shield Neck Protector
Whether you’re a suburban ninja or an outdoor enthusiast, Virustatic have you (especially the lower half of your face) covered. This practical, pandemic-busting product is conceived by a time-served Manchester-based innovator by the name of Paul Hope.

Gramicci Convertable Trail Pant
Curiously convertible kecks from Gramicci here. This is something some brands try to do and end up being an average pair of trousers and a slightly weird pair of shorts, and any practical benefit you gain from having two items of legwear in one is lost. Thankfully, trouser experts Gramicci are well placed to avoid this pitfall, and as such, we heavily endorse this double whammy of a pant.
