Whistles menswear debut: Whistles menswear: the key pieces - herringbone overcoat

2. Navy blue cagoule

This tufted black bomber jacket caught our eye. If you're looking for a statement piece, the navy/khaki camo print wool version is a real contender, and there is also a noteworthy raw-edge navy pea coat for those with more traditional tastes
