CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN

Batch LDN exists to take the stress out of dressing well.. Raising the standard of fashion by creating standout, handmade pieces that work for every man’s wardrobe and your wallet. They call it style curated with intention.

Launched in 2022 by friends Julian Osborne and Sam Matanle, Batch LDN has grown from a self-funded start-up into one of the UK’s most dynamic menswear labels. With a flagship store in Covent Garden, a loyal community of clients, and a roster of celebrity fans including Steven Bartlett, Simon Pegg, Ashley Walters, Ant & Dec, Romesh Ranganathan and Leo Woodall, the brand continues to redefine what smart-casual looks like for a new generation.

For Autumn Winter 2025, Batch LDN presents Batch 08 – a collection designed for versatility, confidence, and everyday wear. This season spotlights two new suit colours and the revival of a hugely popular shade from Batch 04. It also marks the debut of the AW25 waxed overcoat. Shaped by direct client feedback, Batch 08is proof that listening remains central to the brand’s philosophy.

For the first time, Batch LDN introduces its take on the classic black suit. Sleek, versatile, and endlessly wearable, it’s a wardrobe cornerstone reimagined through the brand’s modern lens.

Back by popular demand, the burgundy brushed cotton suit makes its highly anticipated comeback. A jewel-toned statement piece, it strikes the perfect balance between ambition and elegance – a bold winter essential.

The most luxurious fabric in Batch LDN’s offering to date, herringbone wool, arrives this season in a muted grey-green tone. Inspired by nature and tranquillity, it delivers understated sophistication with a fresh perspective.

Completing the collection, Batch LDN debuts the AW25 waxed overcoat – a functional yet refined outerwear piece designed for real life. In true Batch spirit, it’s joined by a playful addition: a matching dog jacket for man’s best friend (available in Navy Waxed, Beige Waxed, Brown Herringbone and Navy Herringbone).

There’s a reason the name Macron has become synonymous with excellence in high-performance sportswear. Over the past two decades, this Italian powerhouse has carved out an enviable reputation for fusing innovation, technology, and timeless design — the perfect trio for athletes and everyday heroes alike.

Rooted in the Greek prefix “μακρο” (makro), meaning “great,” Macron was built on ambition. It’s an ethos that threads through every stitch of the brand’s output — a drive to push boundaries, chase perfection, and inspire others to do the same. And if ever there was a fitting emblem of that philosophy, it’s the Macron Hero — arms raised in triumph, celebrating personal victory. The brand’s mantra, #BecomeYourOwnHero, says it all: whoever you are, whatever your stage, greatness is within reach.

From the pitch to the pavement, Macron’s reach is impressive. The brand operates across three finely tuned business lines — Technical Sponsorships (think top-tier federations, teams, and pro athletes), Teamwear (for grassroots clubs and weekend warriors), and Individual collections, which include Padel, Activewear, and the new standout: O.N.E. And that’s where things get particularly interesting.

O.N.E. — or Own Nothing Else — is Macron’s bold foray into the meeting point between sport and style. It’s where Italian sartorial craftsmanship shakes hands with cutting-edge technical design. The 40-piece collection isn’t just about looking sharp on the sidelines; it’s about living with intention — 365 days a year.

Expect men’s coats cut from luxurious wool and neoprene, padded jackets that are as elegant as they are functional, and a refined colour palette where deep blacks and rich navies take centre stage. Each piece reflects the DNA of Italian tailoring while maintaining the performance edge Macron is famed for.

The result? A collection that works as hard as you do — whether you’re chasing goals, city lights, or just that perfect blend of comfort and sophistication.

With O.N.E., Macron doesn’t just blur the lines between sportswear and fashion — it erases them entirely. Because when performance meets Italian poise, you really wouldn’t want to own anything else.

Stighlorgan, pronounced Still-organ, is an accessories brand that’s as contemporary as it is deeply rooted in heritage. Though its home base is firmly set in London, the label proudly identifies as Irish, a sentiment that runs through every stitch, material choice, and detail.

Founded by a group of friends who grew up in and around Stighlorgan, a district of Dublin, the brand takes both its name and its spirit from the area they call home. Dublin itself, or Baile Átha Cliath to use its Gaelic translation, is a city inseparably tied to the sea — a connection that Stighlorgan has carried forward into its identity.

The ocean doesn’t just shape the physical geography of Dublin; it shapes the people, their resilience, and their creativity. For Stighlorgan, this manifests in practical yet stylish designs, built for the unpredictability of modern life but infused with a timeless sense of craft and community.

What makes Stighlorgan stand out is the way it balances those two worlds: Irish tradition and London modernity. Their bags and accessories speak to a generation constantly on the move, seeking both durability and design-led aesthetics. It’s contemporary gear, but with an unmistakable nod to the heritage of a people who know what it means to weather storms, both literal and figurative.

In short, Stighlorgan is more than just an accessories brand. It’s a reflection of identity, of connection to place, and of the creativity that comes when heritage and modern living collide.

We recently caught up with Christian one of the founding nomadic members from the gallic creative collective and asked him what the thinking behind the brand was,

” In simple terms, to begin waving the flag for modern Irish fashion. The Irish have a very particular way of doing things and we’re all very proud of that. I see real value to sharing the small differences in the way the Irish dress -or the differences as we see them at Stighlorgan I could say. There are already a wide variety of English brands, American brands, Swedish, Italian, Japanese etc, I think its high-time someone began to talk about the Irish aesthetic. I believe that if presented correctly it holds some really interesting and fresh insights into ways that you can put together an outfit and in particular to Stighlorgan; the accessories you can wear.”

He went on to sum up the brand and how it came about, far more succinctly then I could, so I thought I’d save myself the bother,

“One of my older cousins in Dublin who I recently spoke to about Stighlorgan and the progress the brand was making, said to me that in the 90s he had a dream of creating an Internationally known contemporary Irish brand. I found it funny that he seemed to have had the same desire to create something Irish that could truly have international reach. We’re already selling in Europe, the US, Russia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. We’re getting closer to achieving that reach that me and my cousin dream of. In terms of the brand’s identity and future, we already have a really strong idea of what the Stighlorgan brand looks like. Each season we put together a collection that jumps ahead of the previous one -it’s an exciting feeling to better your previous season. We’ll keep up this momentum and keep evolving the brand. If we can create global recognition for an Irish aesthetic that’s very close to our hearts, we’d be very happy with that!”
