THE ITALIAN MENSWEAR GUIDE - Elite Traveler

BAmford & sons
| Fall Focus | The English Bamford family, them-
selves the epitome of elite travelers, created a line of
classic and beautifully tailored clothing befitting their
lifestyle, whether they are dressing for safari, a country
house weekend, the board room or the yacht. The
family is also adding a capsule collection of eco-conscious
organic fabrics and garments that incorporate
materials grown at the family farm in the Cotswolds.
Look for the bee as the signature logo, or the Bamford
crest of course. This winter, rich chocolate browns
and navy blues dominate the core collection.
| Key Pieces | Strong outerwear pieces include such
classics as a pea coat and bomber jacket, plus a sporty
trackside jacket and heavy knit sweaters. The pattern
of the season—Prince of Wales plaid—lines several
jackets. Look right for a shooting party in Bamford’s
down-filled tweed vest and embroidered ties, rich in
deep purple and green. Leather-covered flasks and
thermoses ensure no detail is neglected. Planetfriendly
garments this season include trousers made
from 50 percent wood pulp, and several dyed with
vegetable coloring. New accessories and bags made
from exotic crocodile are even more luxurious with a
suede finish.
| Where to Buy | Bamford & Sons boutiques are
located in London exclusively, and the collection
is also available in top department stores such as
Bergdorf Goodman in New York. Visit www.bamfordandsons.com.
