Other than the first letter of both their names, you’d be hard pushed on first inspection to find many similarities between FatFace and Folk. One is an urban menswear brand, born and bred in the city, focusing on stripped-back wardrobe staples that toe the line between classic and contemporary. The other is a laid-back lifestyle label, brought into the world in the French alps out of the reluctance of its founders to “work for a living”.

That’s how it would appear on the surface, but dig a little deeper and you’ll realize that, for all their seeming differences, both brands value superior quality and great design above all else. It’s a shared passion that has brought Folk and FatFace together recently for the first time. The result: a capsule collection of 15 items – each one showcasing the best elements of the two brands.

The collection is composed of simple, well-made pieces, rendered in a subtle palette of blues, greys and neutral tones, and spun from a range of tactile fabrics. Each garment has been meticulously designed here in Britain and produced to the highest standards. The result is a range of clothing that is fuss-free, easy to wear and timeless, featuring unique materials and details that set them aside from the rest. Prices are wallet friendly, too. And with quality this good, that means solid cost-per-wear.

From a thick-pile Sherpa fleece to textured wool tailoring, it’s a collection geared towards kitting you out for the colder months in as stylishly pared-back a way as possible. To help you get a feel for it, here we rundown our six favorite items and why they’re worth adding to your sartorial roster.

Key Pieces

Peacoat

So many of menswear’s staples have their roots in the military, and the peacoat is no exception. Today, you’re more likely to see this timeless classic being worn by style-savvy urban gents as opposed to battle-scarred naval officers, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less suited to stormy conditions as it used to be. Just see this razor-sharp navy option from FatFace and Folk for proof.
