While it’s still technically winter, warm weather is just around the corner. The impending change in weather will require clothing that looks good while keeping you cool during the day and warm at night. It’s not easy to look like a boss while balancing between the warm days and cool nights of spring, but it is totally possible. And Ledbury, one of our favorite luxury menswear brands, just made it easier.

Just in time for spring, Ledbury’s Commonwealth Collection has released two limited edition popover shirts that are ready-to-wear, but reflect the menswear brand’s respect for bespoke clothesmaking. These shirts are simple, handsome, and a must for any man who is looking to up his wardrobe game this spring.

The Ledbury Workshop recently acquired one of the last bespoke shirtmakers in the country, which has been making custom shirts for more than 100 years, outfitting the likes of Presidents Harry S. Truman and George H.W. Bush. Ledbury is carrying on the legacy of the care and attention that is put into bespoke clothesmaking. And through their buy-now-wear-now Commonwealth Collection, they’ve decided to share the wealth of carefully crafted clothes with those who might not be able to make it to Virginia in order to get their own custom shirts.

When it comes to looking (and staying) fresh in warm weather, nothing quite compares to the popover—the woven, collared shirt where comfort meets style. Ledbury’s popovers are handmade with brushed slub cotton, which gives the shirt enough weight to keep you warm at night but won’t leave you feeling weighed down during the day. Ledbury has only made a limited supply of each design, so these shirts won’t last long.

Travel is easier with this Longines watch

Longines Zulu Limited Edition Watch

Are you ready to embark on a journey where time meets artistry? Longines watches, in an exclusive collaboration with Hodinkee, introduces the mesmerizing Longines Spirit Zulu Time Limited Edition. This timepiece is not merely a watch; it's a harmonious blend of innovation, history, and unmatched craftsmanship that sets it apart in the world of horology.
A journey through time
The Longines Spirit Zulu Time pays homage to the brand's rich heritage, drawing inspiration from the first Longines wristwatch with dual time zones produced in 1925. The Zulu flag on its dial symbolizes the universal time used by aviators and armed forces, infusing the watch with a touch of history and adventure. Limited to 500 numbered pieces, this GMT model was introduced in the Longines Spirit collection in 2022, making it a sought-after collector's item.

What sets this watch apart is its 39mm case, meticulously crafted from Grade 5 titanium. Lighter and tougher than steel, this alloy provides the watch with understated elegance and exceptional wearer comfort. The bi-directional, circular-brushed titanium bezel, engraved with a 24-hour scale, adds a distinctive touch. The screw-down crown, also made of titanium, allows independent setting of the time zone and time, catering to the needs of the modern traveler.

These limited-edition watches are made with actual pieces of the Berlin Wall

There's a quartz and an automatic version

Wind of Change watch on wrist

The masses remember many different moments in history as turning points in the path humans take. Some take us toward destruction, like the development of the atomic bomb, and others take us closer to serenity and peace, like the end of World War II. Some lead to others, some seem isolated, but all create lasting impacts on our collective memory and view of the world. The style and the fashion industry are not immune to those moments and will create garments and entire style trends from them. From WWII-inspired coats and boots to the lasting impact it has on men's watches with the best field watches and pilot watches.

One of the more recent events that shaped our world today was the end of the Cold War and the way the fall of the Berlin Wall signified a reunification of a Germany ripped apart for half a century. Many industries created their own interpretations of the time, from movies and books to politics and music. Wind of Change by The Scorpions became the anthem by which we celebrated the unification of Germany after years of post-war division. Now, Col & MacArthur offers the Wind of Change watch, which finds a way to remind us all of a time when we overcame division to become united once again.
