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.

Pieces like carpenter pants in a rare waffle cord will earn subtle nods of approval from other men in the know.
