Menswear is mostly fractured/more niche community led now vs years ago where a small number of brands led the way IMO, but if you had to choose a handful of brands setting the zeitgeist in 2023 and beyond, who would be your picks and why?
Any advice for how to add color to my wardrobe? I’ve a wardrobe that comprises largely of black, white, grey, and some earth tones.

Any ideas on how to incorporate color would be amazing

Lost my Barbour after 8 years of wearing it in to develop a beautiful patina and broken-in look (I'm heartbroken). Where do I go from here? Start the process all over again? Buy a vintage one?
