Super Soft Threads by Delikatessen

You know that sweater that has dwelled in the shadowy depths of your drawer for several years now? Or that shirt that still hangs in your wardrobe unworn because the fit isn’t right but it was a gift so you can’t quite bring yourself to throw it out? Well Delikatessen’s AW13/14 collection is so wearable- and so damn sumptuous to touch- it might just compel you to finally toss them to the garbage.

Amsterdam locals Andre Lisowski and Stephen Hartog founded the label in 2009. Each passing collection has taken a step closer to what men want to wear right now and probably for some seasons to come too. The comfy, ‘I’ve had it for years’ quality is down to the rigorous crafting process, wherein each piece is pre-washed and pre-shrunk to fit. Since the brand’s inception, only the finest Giza 87 and Mako cottons have been used which are notorious for being the softest available yearns in the world.

Delikatessen circa AW13/14 is awash with intuitive colour combinations that feel both fresh and classic; the cobalt check shirt and cognac chino is our fave. Vibrant blue pieces feature throughout the collection and, thanks to the simplicity of the designs, were made to be layered together for a causal take on tonal dressing. For those who have been searching for the perfect piece of outerwear to segue from winter to spring, the grey bomber jacket made from pure boiled wool is an awesome investment.

Longines Spirit Flyback collection

Longines, a name synonymous with precision and elegance in watchmaking, has a rich heritage deeply intertwined with aviation history. The brand has consistently paid homage to its aviation legacy through its watch collections, and the new Longines Spirit Flyback is no exception. We're diving into the remarkable world of Longines and exploring the exceptional features of three distinct variations of the Spirit Flyback, highlighting their significance in the realm of men's watches.
Longines: A legacy of aviation
Before we embark on the journey of discovering this luxury watch, it's essential to appreciate the brand's historical connection to aviation. For over 100 years, Longines has been a prominent figure in the aviation industry, providing pilots with precise timekeeping instruments. This heritage is not only a testament to Longines's commitment to excellence, but also a source of inspiration for its aviation-themed collections.

The Longines Spirit Flyback collection pays tribute to the brand's aviation heritage by combining classic design elements with modern technology. This collection includes three remarkable timepieces, each with its own unique strap. For those who appreciate a more classic look, a brown leather strap is often associated with pilot's watches and perilous exploration. They can remind us of the pioneering aviators like Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, who relied on durable and stylish timepieces during their historic flights. Or perhaps, Steven McQueen, famous for his rugged and masculine style, especially in movies like Bullitt. If you appreciate a more contemporary look, the Longines Spirit Flyback with a stainless steel bracelet and blue dial exudes confidence, while the beige NATO strap adds a more casual vibe.
