Proper Picks – February 2023

We’re back with another of our monthly random round-ups. And despite the new stuff arriving in stores being geared towards the warmer months, the colour palette is positively autumnal. Weird that, isn’t it?


Merrell Moab Flight Sieve 1TRL
Chunky, comfy and perfect for walking along rugged promenades in the coming months. Yes, it’s a thumb up from us on these.

Villebrequin Anorak
There’s you, the captain of your own ship, sunglasses perched atop your bonce. Navy chino shorts, boat shoes and this jacket. You look bloody delicious. However you’re not on a ship but a pedalo. But still, at least you look smart.

Gramicci Corduroy Cap
A cord cap should be in the armoury of any would-be style icon and the fact this boasts a tie-dye pattern makes it all the more appealing.

Percival Men’s Zip Overshirt
Remember what we said in the intro about autumn? Well, yeah, this is that. That is this. And yet it’s the perfect smother to don when you borrow your mate’s convertible to impress that tinder date you’ve somehow managed to get to go out with you.

Forét Fresh Liner Vest
Many liner vests are around,but few look like NASA designed them while taking mushrooms and thinking about going fully vegan. This does.

Karhu Fusion XC Aztec Jet Black
With Easter not far off, chocolate is going to be everywhere soon. Maybe that explains why these sweet sneakers have us thinking about bunnies and eggs and stuff.

Klattermusen Algir Large Accessory Bag
Best bags around atm, IMO.

Kavu Sitkinal Hat
Whether you’re ascending a large mountain or just some escalators, this will keep your head warm and attractive.

Wax London Truro Vest
Knitwear seems to be everywhere at the minute and with good reason. Wax London do that casual meets formal thing so well it’s no surprise they’re making cardigans like this.

Patagonia Ultralight Black Hole Tote Pack
This hybrid tote/backpack is a holiday essential, whether going to the beach or just carrying your groceries.
Get it here


Klattermusen Bestla Anorak
With the weather still changeable, a lightweight but substantial jacket is always required. This from Klattermusen is tremendous.
Get it here


Chamula Fair Isle #8 Pullover
That thing we said about knitwear a few products previously holds true here, and Chamula are as good as it gets.
Get it here


Adsum Recycled Merino Wool Marcelo Sweater
NY-based Adsum have long been a fave of ours, and this merino beauty is the kind of timeless piece you’ll reach for all year round.
Get it here


Epperson Mountaineering Medium Leisure Tote
The multicoloured bags of Epperson remain in our top 5 luggage brands. Well made, eyecatching and utilitarian, these will see you through summer.
Get it here


The Quartermaster Hunter Jacket
Looking like something Kurt Cobain would wear to chop wood, this hunter jacket is something you’re likely to reach for when the weather gets chilly. The Met Office are currently advising us on a snow bomb, so you know what to do.
Get it here


Patagonia Range Earflap Hat
How snug does this look? Lovely comfy, fluffy and yet still quite masculine.
Get it here


Rocky Mountain Featherbed x Clutch Cafe Down Vest
Probably the kings of down outerwear, Rocky Mountain Featherbed have teamed up with Clutch Cafe for this timeless down vest.
Get it here


Rototo Double Face Socks
Why is everything orange or brown? It’s doing our head in, this.
Get them here


Crescent Down Works x Fresh Down Sweater Jacket
See, here’s another thing that looks autumnal. And yet this month is the time you really, really need it. Check the forecast then try and tell us otherwise.
Get it here


Adsum Cashmere Waffle Cardigan
A second inclusion for Adsum in this month’s round-up shows you how much we love this brand. This waffle cardy is equally fitting in a pipe and slippers setting as it is in a more modern setting.
Get it here


Fresh Delon Knitted Wool Polo Sweater
Three colour collaborations are quintessentially Fresh and this is no different. They’ve been prolific in the last year and we’re very much here for it.
