Proper Picks – November 2023

Engineered Garments Long Sleeve Hoody – Multicoloured
Can’t decide if this is akin to what those panpipe lads who used to sit in shop doorways entertaining shoppers in the 1990s, or bang on trend knitted goodness that Liam Gallagher would wear. Maybe it’s both.

Mizuno Wave Mujin TL GTX – Tiger Brown
These will stand you in good stead whether you’re going to wear them for their perceived purpose (running a bit) or just sticking them on your feet and walking to the pub.

Beams Plus Expedition Parka
Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Well, it depends if you like staying warm with added panache.

Teva Grandview Gore-Tex Boots
Known perhaps better for their summertime sandals, Teva are around in wintertime too, with these robust beauties.

Cotopaxi Todo Convertible 16L Tote – Cada Día
Available in numerous colours, arguably Cotopaxi’s best bag will see you through the day.

Palladium Hiker WP+ Boot
Get on that sole. You could stop a bullet with them, probably. Seriously sturdy, reliably robust and carrying comfort and cool together.

Rumpl Beer Blanket
Imagine the faces of your friends. They think you’re doing it again. That thing you do when you want to exert sartorial superiority over them, except this time it’s not you wearing the eyecatching technical jacket, it’s your beer. They can’t compete really.

And Wander Men’s Diamond Stitch Down Hoodie – Green
On a scale of one to ten, how comfy and cosy does this look? Your answer is eleven.

Rototo Pile Room Checkerboard Socks – Charcoal / Light Orange
What is it with knitted chessboard everywhere atm? If they’re not on hats they’re on socks. As someone who knows it way around a pawn these should be of interest to you. Pawn I said.

Kavu Teannaway Fleece
We won’t stop writing about this fleece until Kavu send us one of each. That’s it. That’s the summary.

Gramicci by F/CE Boa Cap
Elmer Fudd meets Japanese woodcutter.
Get it here


Kappy Pocket Windbreaker Ivory
Something of a fly-fishing silhouette is evident here, but Kappy only make their clothing in one size, which while challenging is pretty unique too. Worth a further look, for defo.

Chamula Double Cuff Cap
We’ve written about these beauties elsewhere already this month but it doesn’t matter. This looks like it should be in an ice cream bowl.
Get it here


Caterpillar Colorado 2.0 Harris Tweed Boot
You can rely on Caterpillar to ensure you’re suitably shod for any hard work exploits you have planned. The addition of Harris Tweed is a further mark of quality that frankly wasn’t needed but does add something too.

New Balance 2002R Trainers
Trainers not sneakers.

Stan Ray Relaxed Fit Rec Pants
Few brands get kecks right. Trousers, pants. You’ve not heard of kecks before have you? You’ve not lived.
Get them here


Gramicci Relaxed Fit Climbing Gear Hoodie
Simple but effect hooded sweatery here from Gramicci.
Get it here


Lacoste Relaxed Fit Large Crocodile Badge Sweatshirt
That crocodile looks angry. He’s bigger than he used to be too.
