Six looks, one colour — this week's edit

Issue 47 · 5 min read

Morning.

This week the rail held six pieces and gave up five by Thursday. The wool gabardine went first — it always does when the light turns like this.

“Buy the coat. Skip the belt.”
  • —Wool gabardine reads darker after the first wear.
  • —One red piece this season. Everything else stays put.
  • —Horn buttons, hand-set — worth the extra week.

Until Friday,

Marguerite, Vivus Journey
