KESTIN wade through The Flow Country for SS25 collection

KESTIN are back to show us their offerings for Spring Summer 2025, and they’re everything they should be – patterned, relaxed, highly wearable and inspired by something a bit quirky…

As always, KESTIN have paid tribute to their Scottish heritage, however this time it’s not castles or knitwear that have sparked their interest, but instead, a bog. Specifically, the biggest blanket bog in the whole of Europe.

This bog is called The Flow Country and lies between Caithness and Sutherland in Northern Scotland, it’s an area of deep peat dotted with bog pools and acts as a very important habitat for wildlife as well as climate change mitigation. To cut a long story short, it’s not to be marshed with.

KESTIN has taken a stylistic wade through The Flow Country for SS25 and has referenced colours and textures found within its mysterious murky depths in a variety of styles, which might sound questionable, but rest assured, the whole collection isn’t mud coloured.

The Flow Country release takes a casual approach to formalwear, with suiting and shirting being focal points. At the heart of the suiting end of things, the Stac Blazer has been reintroduced, the construction of which combines a heritage chore coat with a traditional suit jacket. Pretty ideal for those rare circumstances when you’re practising carpentry at 15:00 and have RSVP’d to a dinner party at 20:00.

Accompanying the blazer is a duo of legwear, the Wick Trouser, which has been cut in an airy cotton & linen blend, and the more relaxed, tapered Clyde Pant which uses natural volcanic fibres to regulate body temperature. Sounds a bit like witchcraft to us, but we’re sure KESTIN aren’t blagging.

As with every Spring collection, the brand puts out, they’ve released a new rendition of their Ormiston Jacket, which this season has been reinterpreted in a luxurious Japanese floral-patterned jacquard, sourced from a family-run mill.

Shirt offerings maintain the floral themes in the form of the short-sleeve Crammond Shirt and Rosyth Overshirt which both utilize a beautifully tactile Japanese seersucker fabric.

As predicted, it’s a collection of very strong offerings from KESTIN for SS25, and all of it has been inspired by a really big bog in Scotland. Who would’ve thought?
