FashionBeans x Percival: New Menswear Collection

You can also find out more about We’re going to let you in on a secret that — as a business designed to showcase the latest in menswear — we really shouldn’t. You don’t need to own a lot of clothes to look good.

Seriously. While other publications might say it’s important to have that shearling teddy-bear coat or those conceptual triple waistband jeans in order to be considered ‘stylish’, this simply isn’t the case.

You should aim to always have a few select essentials on hand that can be used anywhere and anytime. Invest in well-made, stylish clothing that will go with your entire wardrobe. This will not only make getting dressed in the dark easy (which is a possibility during winter), but it will also help you to stand out amongst the truly well-dressed guys.

For that reason (and because we’re fans of the British brand’s trademark understated style), we’ve teamed up with Percival to produce our first-ever clothing collaboration, a six-piece capsule collection comprising just that.

Designed in London FashionBeans Luke Todd, deputy-editor, said that this collection was made in fair trade factories with a limited run of 30 items per item. The range took the cornerstones for every good outfit, and gave them a modern look. Premium fabrics, such as moleskin or ethically sourced Portuguese Lambswool were used, along with subtle checks, and trims inspired by the seventies.

This results in a collection of pieces you can throw on and go that will last seasons. The pieces are compatible with the majority of what you own. Also, they will match each other. If you order quickly, they’ll be sent in the mail and arrive by Christmas. Enjoy.

Bronze Moleskin Denton Coat

What constitutes the perfect wardrobe isn’t typical everyday pub chat, so you’d be forgiven for not knowing that it includes a moleskin jacket. A strong fabric traditionally worn by blue-collar workers, it’s durable and insulating, yet lightweight and pliable, making it ideal for wintry weather. This example, based on Japanese denim jackets, has a slightly cropped body, meaning it’ll layer easily over T-shirts, hoodies and chunkier knitwear.

Wayfarer T-Shirt with Embroidery

The appeal of a classic white T shirt is year-round. It makes sense to combine the two into a neat package. Here, classic Wayfarer shades, worn by James Dean and John F Kennedy as well as many other style icons, are embroidered on soft, pure cotton Tshirts that can be used to create countless outfits for cool or cold weather. Menswear? It’s done, mate.

Cream Yoke-Weave Roll Neck

You’ve no doubt already got a pretty good selection of knitwear in your wardrobe — heck, there’s even probably a few roll necks in there — but that doesn’t stop this waffle knit version from elevating the wardrobe staple to new heights. Spun from medium weight Portuguese lambswool for an ultra soft handle that’s also both insulating and breathable, the final touch comes in the form of seventies-inspired trims to the hems.

Navy Corduroy Vincent Overshirt

There’s a very good reason why the overshirt frequently appears on those lists of items every stylish man should own. As smart as it is practical, this version may come in one of this season’s trending fabrics, corduroy, but it’s practically future-proof thanks to the timeless navy shade that can be worn dressed up with a roll neck and smart trousers or down with a white T-shirt tucked into tailored joggers.

Wayfarer Sweatshirt with Embroidery

Fit, fabric, and attention to details are the three most important factors when it comes to building the foundation of a man’s wardrobe. This grey marl sweater is perfect on all fronts. Cut slim for a contemporary look, and rendered in 100 per cent cotton, it’s finished with the custom FashionBeans x Percival The V stitching on the neck and the Wayfarer logo are both important.

Melton Check Roscoe Overcoat

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of climbing into a quality overcoat on blustery days, especially when it means you not only out-dress every other man in the park, but stay genuinely warm. This coat, which has a subtle checked design, is made of thick melton in an unstructured, comfortable profile. You can easily throw it over a chunky jumper at the weekends or a suit if you’re serious about business. Take that, Winter.
