The Lakes is the kind of piece that disappears once you put it on, in the best sense. leather, dark green, nothing to adjust.

How to wear it

Summer: linen shirt, loafers, no socks. Winter: merino rollneck, boots, heavy coat. The Lakes handles both.

Fabric

leather was the right call here: matte surface, calm drape, and enough body that it does not cling after a few hours of wear.

Fit

It sits at the natural waist and falls straight. No taper, no break at the ankle, which makes it easy to pair with almost any shoe.

Care

Store folded in a dry place. Hanging stretches the waistband over months, especially on leather.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

The Lakes is not a statement piece. It is the piece you reach for without thinking, which is usually the highest compliment.
