Things are really starting to shape up now, aren’t they? The entrance of March into the calendar very much feels like a big hug from an old friend. It’s light until 17:30, there’s the occasional sunny day, and you can nearly start wearing shorts. We’re very grateful for March and everything it signifies, and you should be too.
As per usual, we’re a couple of days late with our release of Proper Picks for this month, but alas, here it is. 30+ items handpicked by yours truly.
Arksen Kaneq Down Jacket
Arksen is not just a clothing brand, they also make other things, like yachts. We’re not of the prestige to comment on the quality of those though, so for now this impeccable down jacket will have to do.
Nike Total 90 III Sneaker
If you’re ever feeling down on your luck, just remember that you’re existing at the same time as the release of the Total 90 III Sneaker. Truly a once in the history of the earth type of moment.
C.P. Company Bucket Hat
One of the nicest bucket hats we’ve seen in a good while. Washed denim, contrast stitching and a big old C.P. Company patch? Yes please.
Goldwin 0 Helicoid Cargo Pants
Wouldn’t be surprised if Goldwin signed a deal to produce NASA’s uniforms by the look of these.
Snow Peak Nylon Tussah Jacket
Snow Peak may just hold the title of producing the best pockets of all time. Just look at the size of those two there. Delightful.
ROTOTO Double Face Organic Cotton Mini Crew Socks
If you’ve not got a pair of ROTOTO socks in your wardrobe sort your act out.
New Balance 1000 Sneakers
No nonsense coming from these. All black. Made with Cordura. Nice looking.
Fera Blanket Lined Shire Jacket
In the conversation of work jackets Dickies and Carhartt’s names will come up repeatedly, but we reckon Fera deserves to be right up there with their Shire Jacket.
Snow Peak Pack Bucket
The ultimate dirty laundry basket.
Acid Running Pursuit of Suffering T-Shirt
Sometimes running and the culture around it can be a bit too wholesome, but thankfully this Acid Running ‘Pursuit of Suffering’ is here to inject a bit of edge.
Goodlids James Sunglasses
Our Kiwi mates at Goodlids don’t just make good lids, they also make good sunglasses, like these ones here.
Dime Shaggy Low Pro Cap
The perfect item if you’ve always fancied a hat made out of Chewbacca’s hippy brother’s hair.
Converse Chuck ’70 Low Sneaker
You probably won’t have seen Converse’s name on here for a while, but in truth, we’ve not got a bad word to say about them. This colourway is superb.
Everyday Mountaineering Etive Parka
Brooklyn-based experimental outdoor clothing brand Everyday Mountaineering are doing some very good stuff at the minute, case in point: this Parka.
Go Out Magazine Vol. 184
Pretty mad to think there have been 184 issues of Go Out Magazine – we thought our humble 47 wasn’t bad going…
New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro V9
The New Balance Hierro has become something of an icon in the trail running world, and we think this latest rendition is the best of a very good bunch.
Lyle & Scott Tipped Knitted Open Collar Polo Shirt
Quite Sopranos-esque, this. Could see Christopher Moltisanti wearing it after weirdly developing a fascination with Rangers.
C.P. Company Rafia Lens Sleeve Jacket
C.P. Company have really gone hell for leather in the fabric department this season. Lovely patina.
Montbell Rain Trekker 2.0 Jacket
There’s potentially some very exciting news coming from Montbell in the next couple of weeks. You didn’t hear that from us though.
Stutterheim Bash Trouser
These Stutterheim trousers look like they’d make raindrops shit themselves.
Nanamica Reversible Hooded Jacket
There’s something crazy on the other side of this reversible jacket. You’re going to have to click to find out what it is though…
Hikerdelic x Kelme 98 LS Jersey
The occasional sunny days we’re having at the minute should act as a reminder that football shirt season is not far off, get ahead of the curve with this iconic Real Madrid-inspired jersey.
BEAMS Chugai Toen Fortune Dog
This little fellow is supposed to bring you good luck – we’re not sure about all that malarkey, but he’ll definitely make your desk a lot cooler.
Orson Hybrid Penny Loafer
Hybrid loafers are supposedly ‘in’ for 2025. We’re actually kind of into them…
Fera Poacher Gilet
This jacket was named after the rural shoplifter, but we like to think is has been specifically designed to help you poach eggs.
Amundsen Vidda Anorak
Ventile anoraks will forever be in the outerwear history books, and not many are doing them better than Amundsen right now.
Fjällräven Expedition Down Heater
This hat is a heater in more ways than one.
Expedition Down Lite Jacket
Some combo this jacket with the matching hat above would be. Alright, you might be sweating buckets, but discomfort is temporary and big jacket rig-outs are forever.
Norse Projects Holger Organic Boat Print T-Shirt
A very quaint T-shirt from Norse Projects.
Oakley Eye Jacket Redux
Really want a pair of these.
Portal Level Alpha Jacket
Portal was only founded the other month, but they’ve already produced a whole host of outstanding gear, the pick of the bunch is this Alpha Jacket.
Salomon XT-Whisper
After a big 2024, Salomon are showing no signs of slowing, indicative of that is this great XT-Whisper colourway.
