Brown, The Colour Of The Season

Posted on: October 2nd, 2025 – Words by Tobias Wightman

If you’re wearing brown, you know what you’re doing. It’s a silent nod to fellow sartorial aficionados that you’re a lover of tasteful menswear. Just as wearable as a classic black and navy, but more interesting - brown spans a rich spectrum of hues that flatter every man - from deep chocolate tones to warm camel shades. And in certain fabrics such as wool - handy for the Autumn/Winter season - it really shines, offering a luxurious mix of rich shades all in one single piece.

Still not convinced? Let us show you why brown is this season’s most versatile (and popular) colour, with our staples that prove its timeless appeal.

Whiting - Natural And Brown Pike Check Overshirt

Our classic piece reinvented in the seasonal standout colour. This new take on our Whiting overshirt is a warm symphony of autumnal tones, creating a palette that layers deep espresso brown with golden caramel, softened by sandy beige on a crisp natural base. And it’s all in the same regular fitting silhouette you know and love.

Mount - Brown Reversible Bobble Wool Overshirt

The Mount was a hero piece of our AW24 collection, defined by its overshirt-meets-jacket silhouette - and it’s back this season in a rich, dark brown. Crafted from thick bouclé bobble wool, it blends deep chocolate with subtle caramel flecks, giving the fabric a depth and texture that reveal more the closer you look. Oh, and it’s fully reversible. Not strictly tied to the colourway, but definitely another reason this piece is a knockout.

Wilde - Brown Fluffy Wool Crewneck

Every wardrobe needs a reliable knit for the season - and the Wilde is exactly that. Remember when we said brown is the new black or navy? This piece proves the point. A brown knit works with everything, from washed denim to sharp tailored trousers. Look closer, and this Wilde reveals a little more: subtle burgundy and green yarns knitted through the brown, creating a forest-inspired palette that feels perfectly seasonal.

Osier - Navy And Brown Drawn Check Jacket

The Osier offers a refined palette pairing with its small-scale check design. Chestnut brown and navy knitted wool yarns are interwoven to create a compact, blurred effect that feels both texturally rich and visually versatile. Ideal for smart or casual occasions, the Osier is an effortless way to introduce brown into an otherwise understated wardrobe.

Stan - Brown Fleck Tweed Car Coat

A well-made coat should last a lifetime - and with the Stan, it will. Timeless and versatile, a brown men's coat is an essential you’ll always return to. Crafted from an Italian compact wool blend, this Stan features subtle flecks of brown tones woven throughout, giving it both depth and texture. The result is a car coat that’s as effortlessly wearable as it is warm.

Aston - Dark Brown Wool Pinstripe Trousers

When you think of pinstripe trousers, grey or navy likely come to mind. Both are classics - we would know, as we offer them in our Malham silhouette - but brown brings a distinctly more interesting edge. The Aston is cut from an Italian wool pinstripe with subtle flecks and varied brown tones woven throughout, adding depth and texture. Just like the Aubyn, its versatility is undeniable - easy to style across occasions and palettes. And with the matching Vigo blazer available, the full suit becomes more than an option; it’s a natural choice.

Vigo - Dark Brown Double Breasted Wool Pinstripe Blazer

We’ve already highlighted the Aston trousers - the same luxurious Italian wool pinstripe fabric applies to the Vigo blazer. What makes the Vigo stand out, however, is its styling potential. Of course, it completes the full suit beautifully, but it’s just as effortless worn on its own. Pair it with jeans and a tee, or layer it over an open-collar knit, and it takes on a more relaxed edge. More adaptable than a black or navy blazer, the brown works seamlessly across occasions, making it a truly versatile piece.

Magnus - Brown Herringbone Double-Breasted Wool Overcoat

The Magnus demonstrates just how effortlessly brown pairs with darker tones. Crafted in a luxurious cashmere-blend, its heavy-weight double-breasted construction delivers both warmth and durability, making it as functional as it is refined. The subtle two-tone herringbone weave in brown and black adds depth and texture, giving the coat a timeless elegance while remaining versatile enough to layer whatever the occasion calls for. The Magnus is designed to carry you through winter in style, offering both heritage appeal and modern sophistication.

Lennox - Camel Milano Stripe Knitted Polo

Brown, perhaps more than any other colour in menswear, stretches across a rich spectrum of shades - and the camel Lennox embodies this perfectly. Lighter, softer, and naturally warm, camel strikes the balance between beige and brown, delivering all the versatility of a neutral while retaining distinctive character. It’s this quality that makes it the ideal choice for the cotton-cashmere Lennox: our modern interpretation of the timeless zip polo.

Aubyn - Dark Brown Wool Blend Twill Pleated Trousers

While black trousers remain a timeless staple, the Aubyn in brown offers a softer, more approachable alternative that works across every occasion. What sets them apart is versatility: the single pleat gives them polish when needed, yet they remain relaxed enough for casual wear - all while pairing effortlessly with an endless palette. Lighter shades like cream, beige, and camel sit seamlessly alongside them, while deeper tones such as burgundy, forest green, and charcoal provide rich contrast.

Kendal - Dark Brown Lamb Leather Flight Jacket

For the heritage-minded menswear enthusiast, the Kendal leather flight jacket is a true standout. Cut from 100% supple grain lamb leather in a rich dark brown, it nods to tradition with a soft shearling collar that channels classic aviation style. Of course, versatility is key in a modern wardrobe - so the collar is fully removable, allowing you to shift seamlessly from rugged heritage to a sleeker, smarter look.

Friar - Brown Brush Cable Knit Zip Cardigan

If brown and autumn are inseparable, then so too are cable knits - and the Friar is our modern expression of that pairing. Crafted from a soft mohair-blend yarn, it comes in a rich brown melange that captures the depth of the season: warm, earthy, and endlessly versatile. Its heritage knitwear at its best, reimagined in a cardigan-jacket hybrid that bridges past and present, making the Friar as relevant now as it will be in years to come.
