3 Cool British Brands To Know

This column is where we give you a head start on your mates in the race to look good each season. With a tip of the hat to the weekend’s historic events, this time we’ve got three British brands that can help you feel like a king…

This Edinburgh menswear brand is all about understated cool. Ex-Nigel Cabourn designer Kestin Hare taps into Scotland’s rich design history and the colours of its sublime landscapes to create regular collections of modern classics. Kestin being a Scottish label, cold-weather gear is a strong suit – but don’t sleep on the latest spring/summer offering. Pieces like carpenter pants in a rare waffle cord will earn subtle nods of approval from other men in the know.
