WHAT GOES AROUND...
Lacoste’s sustainable “Loop”
polo shirt , £110, uses 30 per cent
cotton taken from surplus polos
that never made it to the shop
floor (who knew?). The loop
refers to the fact that the French
brand has joined the Ellen
MacArthur Foundation’s Make
Fashion Circular campaign to
make clothing greener. It looks
cool too, in grey (above)
or blue (lacoste.com).
WORKERS, UNITE
The Workers Club is a
small company based in
Oxfordshire. Keen to create
clothes that stand the test
of time, it produces a range
of “seasonless garments”
beyond fashion trends
- and rather good they are
too. This chambray cotton
camp collar shirt is £140
(theworkersclub.co.uk).
HARDWEAR
Aussie streetwear brand Globe
has a casual ethos, but its new
eco-friendly Low Velocity range
is very wearable and tough with
it. The waterproof Breaker spray
jacket, above right, is £130; the
Prime down jacket, above left,
£347 (eu.globebrand.com).

- They are the first of their
kind, made using hemp,
obviously, and maple wood. - The wood and hemp together
create a rich, precise sound... - ...from 44m drivers using
rare earth magnetics. 4. The
open-back design means you
don’t get fatigued on long
listening sessions. 5. You get
the satisfaction of knowing that
Grado has been a Brooklyn-
based, family-run headphone
designer since 1953
(£480; grado.co.uk).

The Danish menswear brand

designs have an understated
Scandi feel. Spruce sweatshirt
