Classic Heritage

A combination of some classic SON OF A STAG pieces, Owen wears a plaid shirt under a deep indigo chore coat, Ecru 0105’s from FULLCOUNT, and classic Red Wing moc toes.
After the 90 minute train from Stratford International to Herne Bay, our crew began the lengthy walk towards Reculver Country Park. With the morning mist lifting fast from Beltinge Bay, the history visible in the very topography of the area became increasingly apparent. Inland from the aging wooden groynes that jut into the still water is a lengthy parade of stairs below a retaining wall; remnants of a promenade built in the 1830s that helped turn the area into a popular holiday destination for Victorian Londoners. Now, nearly 200 years on, little artifacts hide buried in the pebbled beach, so we made sure to take advantage of the low tide to go beachcombing; although admittedly, this probably wasn't the best idea in ecru jeans. Further up, as we rounded the cliffs into a more treacherous, rockpool-filled stretch, the Reculver Towers appeared on the horizon, taking us further back into the coast's history.
Regency

Barney wears a selection of our smarter offerings, including a double bill of Hartford with the bands understated ‘Calvin’ coat and patterned unicorn scarf. To bring a pop of colour, a Merz b. Schwanen knit serves as a great base for this effortlessly suave ensemble.
Classic Military

Wearing some of our favourite military pieces, Owen perfectly illustrates how more rugged military pieces can look sophisticated when styled right. A chambray shirt and pea coat help ground the vest, and a pair of white chinos brings elegance to the look.
Pattern Clash

Clashing patterns isn’t always a bad thing, and knowing how to wear multiple bold pieces with confidence instantly communicates that you know what you’re doing. The orange undertone to the NN07 jacket compliments the BEAMS+ sweater vest, whilst the blue wool ties perfectly with the jeans.

Since the 11th century, huge coastal erosion has brought in the sea almost half a mile, demolishing most of the previous settlement and a large portion of the church. Today, only the towers remain; sat atop steep cliffs with evidence of decayed structures littering the beaches below them.

On Deck/On The Move

The two things you need to be for a day out on the coast is warm and prepared, and these outfits make sure of both. Thicker jackets protect from the wind, whilst shoes that are both practical and stylish prepare for stylish terrain. Pair those with a spacious Warehouse & Co bag, and you’re set!
The reculver towers, which are the only thing left of a medieval church demolished by coastal erosion, dominate the landscape in Reculver, but things get even older when you look more carefully. Turning inland, a subtle indent in the grass outlines several buried foundations; the last evidence of the huge Roman fort Regulbium which played a tactical role as a Saxon shore fort. The layers of history that have built up over the years makes the area a unique, explorable example of Britain's heritage, and not a bad day out to shoot a lookbook. Heavy clouds began to roll in from inland as we trekked back to the station, so we burst out the umbrella and made a break for shelter.
Regency

A classic belted motorcycle jacket is a piece that sits naturally between the more rugged world of trail riding and the smarter looks of British regency. Owen keeps things simple, pairing Shangri-La’s ‘Explorator’ with cord chinos and a Stetson bandana.
Modern Military

The combination of a classic military jacket and jeans is one that never fails, so we’ve paired a lighter-weight L-2 with some Dartford 1101’s from FULLCOUNT and Sander’s loafers, elevating this casual look into something a little more special.

Reculver isn't the defensive fort or holiday town it was previously, and most of the buildings nearby have fallen into disrepair, but that doesn't stop the area's charm. With friendly locals up and down the beach, and the charming King Ethelburt Pub to stop into for a rest, our trip to Reculver was certainly a scenic place to highlight some of our favourite clothes for Autumn/Winter.

British Seaside

There’s nothing that screams British seaside more than a classic Barracuta G9 Harrington, so we couldn’t leave without putting Owen in this iconic jacket. Dressed up with some Yuketen loafers and Freewheeler’s jeans, this is an outfit ideal for looking sharp while staying comfortable.
