Très Bien have just released their Fall-Winter '15 collection, picking up where they left off with a pared down design approach, clean tailoring and a mix of slim and oversized silhouettes. The subdued palette feels timely, with a blend of tans and beiges, greys and blacks, and various shades of blue across trousers, jackets and shirting. To round out the offering, the brand have partnered with Common Projects again, producing three special versions of the Achilles.

—01. Made in Japan.

Words

A classic for decades, the US Navy Hat is still a surprisingly hard item to find with good proportions, in nice fabrics. Those things are obviously subjective, but I do think that orSlow make one of the best options out there. This fall their seasonal staple comes in a very wearable dark gray cotton.

Words

Fashion products that have a shiny black finish as well as matte black hardware rarely fail to have a futuristic look, and this pack is no exception. On top of its Akira concept art aesthetic, it also sports some of Porter's most durable fabric, which make it even more appealing, and even more practical.

Building on the foundation of previous seasons, the Fall-Winter '15 offering includes new colours across the six styles, my favourite being Burnt Honey.
