Strolling along a boardwalk overlooking a rocky beach with the English Channel glistening in the distance sounds like a pretty damn good way to spend a summer day. Or a summer week. Or, might as well just stay there the whole season. Tucked in between Teignmouth and Dartmouth is a collection of areas, Torquay, Babbacombe, Cockington, Paignton, Goodrington, and Brixham, called the English Riviera. Surrounded by the English countryside to the inland and the channel views of the coast, few destinations in England call to visitors more in the summer months. One of the best and most rugged English brands, &SONS, dropped their summer edit, which brings all you need for a long weekend, whether you are a country visitor or a coastal kid.

Taking us to the English coastline in vintage style

Known for their craftsmanship and workwear, &SONS is at the top of the pyramid when you talk about stylish workwear. Now, with grainy images, deep vintage colors, and patterns that call back to nostalgic times, their summer edit transports us to decades ago. The Capri, Vista, and Corcheted Santo shirts fit perfectly with the Como shorts and Harland trousers for a stroll along the coast. The Kitsune Legend matching set is tailor-made for any guy looking for a day on the water. And, of course, if you want to spend the day in the countryside, there is the Sunday shirt, the Hemingway Travel Jacket, and the Capri scarf.

There is nothing better than a collection of stellar pieces in an edit, causing you to pop open the laptop and start hunting for Airbnbs or campsites in any of the Rivieras dotted along the European coastline. Except for maybe a marketing campaign featuring grainy photos similar to the ones I pulled out of my grandparents’ photo book. The Capri shirt may be exactly what my grandfather would have worn in his day on the English Riviera in the late seventies. And now, &SONS’ Coastline edit taps into the nostalgia hard enough for me to pick up my own and emulate his look while I stare out at the Channel.

For the love of Italy: Hockerty releases 14 looks with inspiration from 14 Italian locations
Blazer, Clothing, Coat

I am a traveler at heart. Every day, I wake up and have coffee, and stare out the window at a world still full of wonders and mysteries I have yet to uncover. Since the day I joined the Army, my heart has always been on the road, in the sky, or aboard a ship. The idea that there is a part of the world I have yet to see is both exhilarating and frustrating. Chasing those undiscovered corners of the world started as a passion and an experiment and became a way of life and an addiction. I say all that to say, I find inspiration on the road. I see the world around me as a canvas for my imagination.

I am also a menswear fanatic. From selling suits to writing about them, a good suit is always in my bag with me. So when a brand I love, Hockerty being a favorite, finds inspiration in a place, I pay attention. I wrote about their summer edit a while ago, with their colors at the forefront of my attention. But I missed something. I missed that all fourteen looks they debuted were inspired by different places in Italy.

Citizen is adding a new limited-edition model to its Tsuyosa Shore line, and it’s got a great look to it if I say so myself.

The Tokyo-based watchmaker’s new drop features a deep black dial, with a gradient effect and a textured surface that catches light differently depending on the angle.
