Ok, I know what you’re saying, are you crazy?! Burberry are renowned for their Trench Coats! Let me tell you something, when you see the video below followed by the website you will say “Moses was right, that was a Breath of Fresh Air”. The Youtube link below is the pre launch video of “The Art of the Trench” and it is where high fashion meets augmented reality or, what it should look like very soon.  As this is a Men’s fashion blog, I won’t go into a detailed explanation as to what augmented reality is, but I will tell you it’s freaking awesome!

The website has now launched and it’s where high fashion meets The Sartorialist with feel to the site. It’s a great website just to see how other people around the world wear their trench coats and a great source of inspiration. You can also share your thoughts with other people and share it on facebook. It definitely worth visiting even if you don’t plan on wearing a trench anytime soon. You never know, it might convince you to buy one!

So back to Hollister and found this little gem – the Desert Springs hooded sweater.  I highly doubt it’ll shield your skin from the wet and snow, but it will certainly keep you warm with its fur lining.  I don’t believe it’s available from stores in the UK (which isn’t relevant anyway since nothing is ever in stock there anyway) but it can be ordered from their online store which will ship you it direct from the US.

Priced at £160 + £20 shipping.  Click here to buy it from Hollister.

“If you’re not familiar with this garment type yet, then get to know it quickly as its set to be big in A/W 09. With the formal styling of a shirt shaped straighter and often fabricated like a jacket, this truly is a diverse wardrobe piece. Wear it open with a tee underneath or buttoned to the top with a pair of skinny jeans, however you rock the Shacket it’s a great update for A/W 09.”

Carhartt Exec Shirt Jacket

Is it a shirt?  Is it a jacket?  The answer, of course, is a resounding ‘yes’ to to both – this innovative piece by Carhartt isn’t exactly ground-breaking but takes cues from last year’s flannel-shirt-boom to create a fantastically practical piece that everyone should be vying for this spring.

Arriving in a brush-cotton twill in red and black check, the look is typically ‘lumberjack‘ and should match almost anyone’s wardrobe, dropping nicely with a pair of raw denim jeans and hi-tops. The inside has a padded diamond-stitched lining to maintain warmth before the summer arrives and can be used as the outer layer in your ensemble avoiding the need for a bulky jacket.

The shirt jacket from Carhartt is available from Glass Boutique and is on Sale for £69 reduced from £105, so makes an absolute steal. Delivery is free for all orders from this company.

I'm warm and I look good!

What do you need in this type of weather? A stylish coat that will turn heads and keep you warm effortlessly. Well, although we are coming towards the end of Winter, our Spring months are still cold as ever. Moses knows the three brands that can keep you warm until Summer!

• Canada Goose – I love Canada Goose Jackets as they are pretty simple but with that certain sense of “je ne sais quoi”. This timeless classic is also very handy when every coat comes with a LIFETIME warranty. Canada Goose coats might be a fairly big investment(£600 approx) but a worthwhile investment at that. Check out their website for your nearest authorised dealer

• Moncler - This is definitely the Must have coat of 2009! All the celebs are wearing it, even Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have matching pairs (Some one please pass me the bucket QUICK!!!).These jackets are fairly hard to find but i have seen them at various I.T stores, Hong Kong.

• North Face - Famed for it’s popularity amongst News reporters on almost any channel. North Face has really sky rocketed in the popularity stakes over the last 2 years. The variety of colours available in the collection and collaborations with the likes of Atmos and Supreme means there must be a coat out there that will perfectly slot into your wardrobe! Available in many retail outlets.

Juicy Couture Rabbit Fur Hoody

Now, considering all the contentious topics we could possibly talk about, the use of fur for fashion is normally one to hit the headlines.  The strange thing is – it so rarely applies to men’s fashion that I felt compelled to bring this item to your attention; this hoody from Juicy Couture is both insanely expensive for what is essentially haute-chav and questionable ethically.

Made from cotton and real rabbit fur is definitely an interesting combination.  Coupled with the fact that the garment is otherwise incredibly plain in grey with a standard zip and drawstrings, you have to wonder what made the company venture upon these lines.  Maybe it’s for the publicity – a publicity stunt to provide the impetus for chit-chatter to start amongst fashion moguls about the Juicy Couture line.  Perhaps they are trying to make inroads into the male fashion market by causing controversy.

Is this appropriate as a marketing hook?  You decide.

Available from Nordstrom for $675.

BKc Wool Contradiction Shirt

Established since 2006, The Brooklyn Circus is not your ordinary streetwear store as it also injects a sample of corporate America while still inspiring the masses with urban culture. Stores located in New York, San Francisco and Chicago, BKc supply such brands as Rich Yung (one to look out for), Nudie Jeans, Maharishi, Nike and Adidas. What sets this laid back vintage inspired store from the rest is their own brand of fashionable clothing and accessories, thus bringing me on to this item of clothing.

Apart of the BKc Holiday Collection, the tailored button down wool shirt has hidden satin colour pop accents located in the cuffs and collars. It retails at $140 and can be located at anyone of there stores over on the other side of the pond, or their online store (as of writing it is closed for upgrades). Check out the shirt and other notable items from the BKc collection below.
