Burton Menswear and Royal College of Art Present Montague Collection

Burton Menswear have collaborated with the Royal College of Art to produce a collection made from British fabrics that re-visit the brand's roots. This heritage-heavy range has been designed by one of RCA's students, Liam Hodges, who takes inspiration from the Minor's Strikes of the '80s. Through this we see a lot of thick wools and workwear influences as well as some slim-fit tailoring. 

There's also footwear and accessories - some of which you can see pictured below - as well as statement knits and selvedge denim. Burton Menswear have taken this collaboration very seriously with the British fabrics, modern heritage vibe and a surprisingly vast offering. The Kardashian's at Dorothy Perkins can move aside - it's not about foreign imports here.

Timberland for Stussy Deluxe NM Field Boot

Timberland have once again collaborated with Stussy Deluxe to bring us an updated take on their classic Field Boot. It's a military Special Forces inspired style with a 100% suede upper featuring canvas and leather accents - really nice textures. It's practical but at the same time it's just a very nice boot that comes in two colourways - tan and black - as can be seen in the images below. 

There's also a short but very nice promo video of the Timberland for Stussy Deluxe Field Boot, which you can also view below. The two brands have been collaborating together since the late noughties and are both incredible at what they do. That's why when you see them partner up like this you know it's going to be something worth chatting about. Theses boots are exclusive to Stussy Chapter stores and at their e-commerce store.

RIMOWA & Moncler Luggage Collaboration

Ski season is upon us and we wouldn't be a very good promoter of men's fashion and lifestyle if we didn't say that you simply must travel in style. Well actually you can do what you want but we certainly recommend this new luggage from a collaboration between RIMOWA and Moncler. This wheeled suitcase really does look the part as premium manufacturers RIMOWA certainly know a thing or two about about luggage. 

The featured example comes in the brand's signature lightweight black aluminium finish and Moncler have lent their luxury quilted down to line this beauty - the lining is formed of Moncler's historic lacqué nylon fabric. They've also included a mix of accessories in this collaboration with some quilted shoe bags and washbags that you can see in the white-lined option below. Available for £990.

The recent release of the new collaboration between ASOS Black and Puma should have everyone wanting to take Stoptober's anti-smoking campaign to the next level by hitting the gym in style. But even if it doesn't encourage you to get active, this new 40-piece collection has some fantastic tailored shirts in airtex designs - perfect for the guy on the go obviously. 

We're also loving the jackets and outerwear with gilets, parkas and bombers - perfect for the seasonal change.

Superdry + Timothy Everest Release "Sebiro" Collection for AW12

An unlikely partnership has formed between high-street retailer Superdry and tailor to the stars Timothy Everest. The Sebiro collection, which has launched at Superdry's London flagship on Regent Street, sees four sartorial characters brought to life: The Country Rebel [above and below], The Bank Robber [left] and the San Fransiscan [bottom]. You'll find the fourth - The Super Spy - on the Superdry website - he wouldn't be so super if he was so easy to find. 

Everest who has dressed the likes of Gary Oldman, David Beckham and Jay-Z - to name a few [honestly the list is incredible] - has given Superdry's casual agenda some slick tailored options for AW12. This is certainly one of the most exciting collaborations for this season and the clothing features an incredible attention to detail with garments made from the finest cloths - without the luxury price tag. Win win.
