From southern Germany near Lake Constance comes the German underwear brand Schiesser. For over 135 years it’s been making excellent underwear built on innovation, naturalness, quality and tradition. From the Schiesser Revival collection you can now find underwear with names such as Franz and Karl-Heinz.

BEAMS first started in Tokyo’s Harajuku area in 1976. It’s come a long way since then and now has 25 sub brands not just in fashion, but also cafés, interior design, music and art. BEAMS PLUS was founded in 1999 offering authentic men’s clothes with a contemporary touch. At Trunk you can now find selected pieces from their latest collection themed Tokyo Blend.

Based in the US but with all manufacturing taking place in Italy, Common Projects takes an aesthetic lead from classic sneakers, but in terms of manufacture is much closer to the craft-led and time-consuming processes of classic bench-made shoes. Now in store are the chukka boot in brown, grey and sand and the low Achilles in white and grey.

The name Barena comes from the Venetian term “baro” and refers to the territory in the Venetian lagoon between land and water. In ancient times the people who lived here practised agriculture, hunting and fishing, unconsciously creating a unique and distinctive style that can be defined “lagunare”. The Barena collection is characterised not only by its rediscovery of the tradition, but also by the use of reinterpretation of high-quality natural textiles, from wools to linens. Now in store is a fine selection, ranging from scarves and vests to jackets and cardigans.

Boglioli doesn’t need much of an introduction to most of you. Based in Gambara in the Brescia region of Italy, its jackets have a distinctly handmade look and feel. We’ve just received jackets and suits, so come in and have a look whenever you have a moment.

Caruso is an Italian manufacturer with a long-standing tradition in men’s tailored clothing. Founder Raffaele Caruso moved from Naples to Sorogna in the province of Parma in 1958. Lots has happened since then and today Caruso not only manufactures under its own label but also for many well-known high-end brands. For Trunk, Caruso has made a limited selection of great jackets and suits, all carrying a ‘Caruso per Trunk Clothiers’ label.

Just in from Slowear are shirts from Glanshirt as well as sweaters and cardigans from Zanone. We’re still waiting for jackets from Montedoro (the fourth brand in the Slowear group), so we’ll let you know as soon as these arrive. Slowear brands promise high quality, modern and durable products that have been designed to transcend throwaway culture and fleeting trends.

We’re happy to announce that our first delivery of Incotex (from Italy’s Slowear) for autumn and winter has arrived. The first delivery includes a range of cottons and wools in various colours. For the first time in store we also have Incotex R.E.D. With R.E.D. – an acronym for Research and Distribution – the company pushes back the boundaries of research to find new fits, new treatments and new materials to generate unique garments with a vintage tailored feel.
