The Barbour family has paid itself a £30 million dividend after a fashion-led revival of waxed jackets helped drive a sharp increase in profits at the heritage outerwear group. Accounts filed at Companies House show that J Barbour & Sons posted a £10 million rise in operating profit to £49.5 million in the year to the end of April, as renewed demand for its signature waxed jackets boosted sales and margins. The company, founded in 1894 and still wholly owned by the founding family, has benefited from a resurgence in popularity as waxed jackets returned to fashion, driven by collaborations with luxury labels, musicians and designers that have broadened its appeal among younger consumers.

Elisabet's creative journey for this season began with a thoughtful reflection on what truly matters in fashion, the art of selection and refinement over mere excess. Collaborating with the UK-based 360 Group, she honed her signature ultra-exaggerated design language, creating voluminous coats that envelop the wearer in comfort while allowing for freedom of movement. This collection showcases puffers with organically curved shapes, innovative features like dual-access pockets, and adjustable hems, ensuring that functionality harmonises with style.

Steam rises from geysers on the brink of eruption, blue lagoons glow against plains of black volcanic sand, snow-covered trails fold into the mountains, and some of the world's most indulgent spas sit quietly amid it all. In Reykjavík, you might catch Björk slipping into a shop, just another local running errands. Beyond the city, moss-covered lava fields give way to sulphur rivers, glaciers push up to meet vast ice caps and waterfalls spill from basalt cliffs.

Creative director Jerry Lorenzo's new Fear of God Essentials Winter 2025 collection drifts through the memory of '90s hip-hop, probing its confidence and ease and translating that energy into a new vocabulary of proportion. Signature pieces return in unexpected textures: waffle knits, satin-finished terry, high-shine velour, and a suede fleece that elevates the language of utility into something quiet and refined.

When your go-to button-down gets ruined in the laundry, J.Crew is likely where you turn to get a replacement. It's a classic for a reason, but the retailer can get real pricey, which is why we're huge fans of J.Crew's sale section. We know all too well that scrolling through half a dozen pages of discounted items is super boring, so we've looked through all of them to find the sweaters, shirts, and pants you can actually wear during fall and winter.

Some collabs feels like little more than a co-branded, quick-hit attempt at some cheap publicity. Not Filson x Wrangler. The just-launched partnership between the two heritage brands - both champions of American craft, utility apparel and unmatched Western vibes, there are over 200 years of history between the duo - is about as synergistic as it gets, with a new, limited-edition capsule of rugged outerwear and denim silhouettes that bear out a shared commitment to durable workwear and a spirit of true frontier grit.

While I have swooned over men who wear crumpled white dress shirts, waxed poetic about the attractiveness of l eather baggage and implored you to reach for the shacket this fall, I know that taste is subjective. Which is why last year, Take It From a Woman launched a quarterly series in which yours truly asks extremely cool women to share the fashions, trends and accessories they want to see men wear that season.

Seoul-based label thisisneverthat has introduced its Fall/Winter 2025 collection, "PARK LIFE," a thoughtfully composed lineup that translates moments of quiet reflection into refined seasonal staples. Known for balancing streetwear's edge with understated sophistication, the brand channels the atmosphere of a park stroll - that rare pause between the city's constant hum - into silhouettes that feel intentionally relaxed yet forward-thinking. The result is a collection that encourages wearers to slow down, layer up, and navigate autumn's transitions with ease.

As temperatures start to dip and the transition to fall begins, PLEASURES has officially introduced its latest ready-to-wear collection, an offering that feels as seasonal as it is thoughtfully composed. The Fall 2025 range is entitled "An Fómhar Fíor" - translated from Irish Gaelic as "The True Autumn" - and its presentation is every bit as poetic as its name suggests.

Golf fashion has been undergoing a quiet revolution. Over the last decade, a new wave of labels has challenged the dominance of technical fabrics and hyper-performance marketing, instead offering a return to timeless design. Brands like Malbon, MANORS, Quiet Golf, and Students have led the charge, appealing to players who want their apparel to feel as stylish on the street as it does on the course.

As WACKO MARIA celebrates two decades of shaping Tokyo's street style narrative, its Fall/Winter 2025 collection stands as a testament to the brand's deep ties to counterculture. Founders Keiji Ishizuka and Atsuhiko Mori have built the label around the idea of collaboration and subversion, fusing music, film, and fashion into a singular aesthetic that is equal parts refined and rebellious. This latest collection feels like a culmination of those efforts - a sharpened statement on what it means to merge heritage with a forward-thinking vision.

Hey y'all, I'm Luke, and I've got a jacket problem. It's become a bit of a stressor on my relationship. My wife understands the RRL Type III trucker I wear most days, but she can't fathom why I have a 1960's deadstock Big-E Levi's model that looks the exact same. (It's an investment.) She doesn't love how much vintage shopping I do or when I have to occupy the living room and wax the Barbour.

66°North demonstrated its commitment to functionality and craftsmanship at Copenhagen Fashion Week with a special exhibition titled '100 Years of Progress. Still Made for Life.' This immersive event highlighted the brand's performance heritage and innovative design through engaging installations like a wind tunnel and GORE-TEX simulator.

This Fall 2025 collection from Palace Skateboards prominently features the leather Doraemon jacket, a collaboration with Avirex, merging Japanese manga with American aviation heritage.
