Season's Style, Seen Through New Lenses

Staying in touch with our locals in Hong Kong. We’ve recently put together a series of styling shoot in the studio with our local The New Black Optical, eyewear curators who have an eye on mostly Japanese independent and legacy eyewear labels. We wish you derive joy and inspiration from the series.

 
 
 

Look I:

A look crafted for the intellectual. Drape and weight, carrying the weight of wisdom and knowledge on the shoulders. Flow and form, embodying a sense of scholarly gravitas, also allowing mobility for days when going up and down among wooden-shelved libraries and dusty archives. Up top, bright tonal layers inject a touch of freshness, a nod to the vibrancy of new ideas amid storied surroundings.

Rodd wears the painters' inspired Goodman Jacket in Tobacco, with the 6-ply cotton sweater in Sienna and Canvas Wide Trousers. Finished off with the choice of a combination eyewear frame, with fine etchings and acetate rims that sharpen the gaze. A statement of intellect and craft, where form meets philosophy with understated elegance.

 
Goodman Jacket - Tobacco
US$850.00

100% Linen

The Goodman Jacket captures the essence of modern day’s pared-down tailoring. Like the Lazyman Jacket's casual elegance, the structureless Goodman Jacket offers an additional touch of structure and form by using heavier fabrics. It drapes, gives shape, and its notched lapels and patch pockets offer a nod to timeless tailoring. Unlined and cut longer with straight lines, this jacket melds the best of a traditional blazer and a chore coat. Forgoing a chest pocket, it features unique double-side waist pockets that highlight perfect symmetry, accented by a small lapel loop.

Crafted from a modified heavyweight linen from one of our regular Japanese looms, this jacket boasts a coarse basketweave that reflects both tactile and visual sensations. The robust texture adds structure and enhances the overall look, making the Goodman Jacket a trusty alternative to the essential sport jacket.

Pair this with: knitted sweaters, Canvas Pleated Wide Trousers in biscuit or white, Bigman Shirt in slate or off-white.

Also available in other fabrics.

Canvas Pleated Wide Trousers - White
US$375.00

85% Cotton, 8% Ramie, 7% Linen

For the first time, we’ve let the cut of our trousers be the pièce de résistance, emphasising form and flow.

These 'leisure trousers' feature a free-flowing silhouette that transitions effortlessly from a straight wide leg to a bootcut, exuding presence and drama. They showcase a soft, unstructured 'Hollywood' waist, offering a moderate high-rise fit that perfectly complements their wide-legged design. Crafted without waistbands and double forward pleats, these trousers sit higher on the waist without restricting comfort, providing a liberating fit.

The fabric is an exceptional duck canvas crafted from a blend of cotton, ramie, and linen. The predominant cotton content provides structure, while the linen and silk-like ramie enhance the smooth handle and moisture-wicking properties, adding a hint of silkiness without the fragility of fine silks. This distinctive weave stands apart from traditional robust duck canvas, offering a unique texture with no compromise on comfort.

Pair this with: Bigman Shirt in off white or slate, Sport Jacket in grey herringbone, oatmeal herringbone, Long Sleeve Pique Polo in heather grey, navy, or chocolate brown and Lazyman Jacket in fawn herringbone or heather grey.

Care tips: Dry clean only

Also available in biscuit.

Knitted Sweater - Sienna
US$235.00

100% Supima Cotton

An extension to our iconic knitted t-shirt, this is a piece designed with cooler seasons in mind, knitted in long sleeves and heftier yarn. A reinterpreted design inspired by the fishermen's sweaters and vintage sportswear, this is the culmination of contemporary and ‘high vintage’.


The sweater style features a simple design with specific proportions — a higher neck, ribbed sleeve and collar, shorter body and longer ribbed hem. The detail allows the sweater to hug around your trousers’ waistband without going too long or needing to be tucked in, maintaining good overall proportions even when paired with mid to high-rise trousers and sport coats.

This product is made of 6-ply Supima cotton, handpicked and sustainably farmed. (Please read our Ethical Sourcing and Production Statement). Incorporating full knitted construction, this knitwear gives a structured body and shaping, while can still being able to be machine-washed. To enhance the luxurious silken finish and soft hand, the garment has gone through a tumble washing procedure in a final step unique to The Anthology.


Pair this with: practically anything in your wardrobe, be it a suit, sport jacket or Lazyman Jacket. Colour-wise we suggest black, brown, grey and khaki. Boots and sneakers are also suitable.

Also available in 7 other colours.

Care tips: Cold wash (below 30°C) by hand or machine, hang dry only.

Torbay Loafers by Crockett & Jones for The Anthology - Brown Milled Calf
US$695.00

Hybrid designs are a common theme in the house’s footwear design. Retaining the excellence of traditional English shoemaking, this is yet another design that pushes the envelope of legendary English-shoemaking house Crockett & Jones. This is our take on a completely unlined dress loafer.

Named after a small coastal town, it comes with the sensibility of relaxation. It has the comfort of a small, quaint town, but a sharp design for the big city. We envision this to be the softest possible shoe for dress use. Made structureless on the upper, it is suitable with tailoring or suits for an elevated look. It is an elegant shoe with a more angular toe box, featuring sharper lines to compensate for its completely unlined structure.

Crafted in luxurious milled calf, a soft calfskin that is comparable to sheepskin, with a buttery soft dark brown surface dressed with natural fine grains with no after-finish. To complement the softness of the design, the overall shoe is completely unlined. Do note this is lasted on a 72 last but due to its unlined structure they carry a sharper profile.

This incredibly soft shoe is yet Goodyear welted, made the old English way. Box and individual shoe bags included.

Summary:

• UK sizing

• E fitting

• 72 last

• Milled calf upper

• Leather SUPERFLEX sole

Look II:

Rodd wears the Lazyman Jacket in Natural. Fabric composed of irregular weaves woven by this small Japanese weaver we've collaborated with over the past years. The fabric’s tactility evokes memories of artisanal woven goods—rattan, raffia—timeless crafts found across Asia. Styled with the Camp Collar Waffle Shirt in China Blue and stone linen drawstring trousers, the ensemble captures the spirit of effortless summer ease. Finishing the look, a pair of aviators with tinted lenses brings tonal harmony, reminiscent of calm waters and hazy mornings—the quiet arrival of early summer days.

 
Lazyman Jacket - Natural
US$625.00

77% Cotton, 23% Linen

A creation for tastemakers and seasoned travellers, this spring/summer piece features a natural, understated dye reminiscent of artisanal woven goods. Perfectly suited for tropical settings that exude a casual yet refined elegance, this serves as an alternative to a sport jacket silhouette, it provides a light layer for candlelit evenings after sun-soaked days in vineyards or quaint coastal towns. It is the quintessential travel companion, ensuring you are always appropriately dressed without being over or underdressed.

The Lazyman Jacket is The Anthology’s signature product — an unconstructed jacket made for the modern man. This version is designed to be a cardigan-like garment that is an alternative to your work blazer. The product features 3 functional pockets, rollable sleeves and adjustable side tabs at the back.

Made from linen/cotton dobby sourced from Japan, the jacket boasts the appearance of raw jute. It combines the suppleness of cotton and the coolness of linen. With raised textures and slight natural irregularities lending the piece unique character, there also comes the expectancy the piece will develop further personality and patina over wears. Ideal for much-anticipated weekend getaways and holidays, this jacket is a low-maintenance travel essential.

Pair this with: Cuban Long sleeved jersey shirt in jade green, Cotton/Linen Double Pleated Shorts in Navy, deep charcoal or any Civilman Trousers.

Linen Drawstring Trousers - Sandstone
US$295.00

100% Japanese Linen

If we were to think of a trouser design that stands for the 2000s, it oughts to be a pair of drawstrings thus far. As much as we adore casual styles, this is not a sign of us giving in to the apathetic (can’t-be-bothered) attitude. The two are distinctly different.

As part of The Anthology’s resortwear series, this pair of breezy linen trousers injects with a dose of Italian Riviera chic, suitable to wear on both the beach and the city.

The modern drawstring waistband detailing does not only offer flexibility to the waist, but it essentially adorns the more casual aesthetic, also differentiating from our classically tailored trousers.

We sourced this Japanese linen twill for breathability to tackle the summer heat, while determined to retain a nicely tailored form. Flowy but tapered in cut with single reverse pleats, also equipped with welted side and back pockets, one can indulge in this pair of everyday trousers with utmost comfort while retaining a clean and smart look. Suitable for styling with just anything ranging from a t-shirt to a sports coat.

Hem can be rolled up to mimic the look of a trouser cuff if necessary. We recommend leaving it as it is.

Complete the set with: Rover Field Jacket - Sandstone

Pair this with: cream, green, blue or brown. Perfect for spring/summer worldwide. Wear it with our Cuban Camp Collar Shirt in 'Sunset' or Caramel Waffle, or Terry Popover in China Blue during your stay in resorts with a pair of espadrilles and favourite pair of sunnies.

Also available in honey, olive and navy

Cuban Camp Collar Shirt - China Blue Waffle
US$230.00

100% Cotton

As part of The Anthology’s resort wear series, this is our take on a vacation shirt that features a classic camp collar design with a relaxed profile for comfort when lounging around beaches and resorts.


This holiday design is crafted from jersey cotton with remarkable waffle-knit weaving, plush, like a towel that gently pushes against our skin, leading to pleasingly comfortable outcomes.

In terms of design language, the collar gracefully fans out following our pattern design and cutting, bringing out the loosened up summer flair summer as it should. This artefact introduces a relaxed, straighter shape to allow for a tank top or T-shirt layered beneath and has chest pockets on each side for your glasses and belongings. Shirt patterns are flawlessly matching to maintain subtle elegance. High split gussets are added on both ends of the garment for more action-friendly hand and pocket movements.

Pair this with: stone, honey, green or terra cotta. Perfect for holiday paired with all our Linen Drawstring Trousers, also ideal to wear with Cotton/Linen Double Pleated Shorts in Navy, or swimming trunks. Finish off the look with your Panama hat, French espadrilles and your favourite pair of sunnies.

Street Slippers by Bowhill & Elliott for The Anthology - Tan Suede
US$475.00

We are delighted to co-create this street slipper with Bowhill & Elliott, the last remaining slipper maker in the UK. This esteemed house still upholds the traditional ethos of "make in the back, sell in the front," with the entire shoemaking process taking place within two floors.

The upper pattern of the street slipper is meticulously hand-cut from a single piece, resulting in a more fluid and seamless design. Departing from the conventional Albert-style evening slipper, this tailored creation features a shorter vamp and eliminates sharp turns on the tongue, maintaining a consistently soft contour. This complements the natural curves of our tailoring, allowing for a more casual styling option. Imagine a standard slip-on loafer, but refined with one-piece leather and a thin, hand-attached sole that closely hugs the bottom of the shoe, exuding an understated elegance. It pairs beautifully with trousers, denim, and shorts alike.

Crafted from calf suede in a rich tan shade, the upper is both supple and durable, allowing for comfortable movement in this hand-lasted slipper. This design elevates the common loafer, adding an extra touch of sophistication and individuality to your ensemble.

Summary:

- UK sizing

- Tan calf suede upper

- Single leather sole. Topy (rubber) soles are recommended to be attached by your local cobbler before wearing.

Look III:

Expect the Unexpected. The agile Strider Raincoat lets you take on a stride around town with ease, unbothered by the weather's whims. Rodd is dressed in the Natural Flex Wool Twill Sport Jacket in Toffee, paired with a classic navy knitted T-shirt and a belt. The look is grounded with canvas wide trousers in Biscuit, adding a touch of drama and flow.

Emphasising lightness, the ensemble is completed with light titanium eyewear, a wool-cashmere scarf in 'Snakeskin' from Artefacts, and unlined Torbay loafers.

 
Strider Technical ‘A’ Raincoat - Beige
US$1,150.00

45% Cotton, 16% Nylon, 39% Polyester

Inspired by the pulse of the city, the Technical ‘A’ Raincoat blends timeless British sensibility with a modern, relaxed feel. Its beige hue recalls the nostalgic elegance of London’s storied streets and raincoat legacies depicted from yesteryears, while the simplified design and construction have taken inspiration from the 80s softly tailored outerwear from Italy. Suited for all-function wear, this piece is designed for those who traverse the metropolis with a calm, confident stride, it embodies the spirit of urban exploration without pretence.

Extending the idea of our ‘Sueded’ series where textiles come with a sueded finish, this piece is crafted from a water-resistant, windproof, and breathable performance fabric with an enzyme treatment wash. Consciously sourced from a leading textile mill in Como, Italy, the blended cloth strikes the perfect balance of protection and comfort, with synthetics lending lightness without compromising durability, emphasising agility.

Cut for movement, it features a deep inverted pleat at the back taking inspiration from the historical Loden coats, while raglan sleeves and adjustable cuffs offer a flexible, personalised fit. The soft construction enhances overall comfort, making it effortless to wear.

Equally suited for business or leisure. Wear it over a suit or tailored jacket for a polished look, or pair it with casual trousers for a refined off-duty style. Ideal for both urban and outdoor settings.

Knitted T-Shirt - Navy

Look V:

Where rugged utility meets softness and youthful spirit. Rodd wears the updated Lazyman Jacket with the Forager Barn Jacket. A bold juxtaposition of city blues interwoven with a touch of oceanic Riviera charm. The look balances contrasting elements: earthy rain-soaked greens and muddy browns collide with crisp urban hues.

A refined take on merging the raw and the refined, city and countryside—effortless yet intentional.

45% Cotton, 16% Nylon, 39% Polyester

The Technical Barn Jacket is our contemporary take on the traditional workwear jacket. Inspired by the rustic charm of countryside, its design pays homage to heritage workwear while fabrication is updated with respect and modern sensibilities.

Extending the idea of our ‘Sueded’ series where textiles come with a sueded finish, this piece is crafted from a water-resistant, windproof, and breathable performance fabric with an enzyme treatment wash. Consciously sourced from a leading textile mill in Como, Italy, the blended cloth strikes the perfect balance of protection and comfort, with synthetics lending lightness without compromising durability, emphasising agility.

Built for movements, the jacket features a raglan-sleeve design, a robust yet straight body profile. The single-coloured silhouette is contrasted with thoughtfully placed corduroy accents on the cuffs, collar, and pocket trims for warmth and tactility. Its design combines practicality with understated elegance, achieving a balance between rugged workwear and refined style. Various pockets are equipped both externally and internally, with rain flaps also equipped for full weatherproof sensibility.

Mostly casual, but for a sartorial flair, pairing it with suits and jackets is equally ideal as a step down from substantial outerwear.
