Holiday Gift Guide
Seasons greetings! Christmas is just around the corner. It's the most wonderful time of the year when we celebrate with our beloved ones. Gifting can always be part of a love language to show gratitude to the ones we care for. We compiled a selection of things from The Anthology's collection that would be ideal for gifting, be it a treat to yourself or someone else. Shop sensibly, as these are finely crafted goods. You won't have to worry about disposing of them by the end of the season. They will withstand the test of time. To receive your order before Christmas Day, make sure to place your order before our official cut-off time at 12am GMT on December 14.
Not pyjamas, but close. Christmas Day is mostly about staying home with dear ones. Nicely and warmly by the fireplace, when a restful house party calls for something dressier, a Lazyman Jacket is the sport jacket alternative we can opt for. Still keeping the collars and the lapels like how a sport jacket does but with a cardigan-hybrid sensibility, the unconstructed feel gives an additional touch of laid-back feel. Civilman trousers are our usual choice to pair when a dressy flannel or worsted wool from your weekday uniform is taking a holiday break as of our minds.
Did we just mention a fireplace? To set one up, one would need to chop some wood. The outdoor-friendly Wingman Blouson is a new addition to The Anthology's collection this season. Shortly cut, cinched around the end, forming a naturally inflated silhouette like a traditional bomber. Cut with a front-V design (in case you didn't know, those are functional chest pockets) and multiple pockets, comes in handy and keeps that sleek, elegant look. It offers our new perspective on quality clothing that is not only limited to a classic sport jacket. Available in the historical Tuscan Casentino cloth that mimics a modern fleece, in Terra Cotta and now in Ebest Turquoise, bringing the festive season a potion of pop and joy.
A stalwart no-brainer. This makes a treat for yourself or for someone you care about, be it a partner, sibling or friend. A classic long-sleeve polo done in perfection, with collars executed to the finest level in a luxurious and functional cotton pique that possesses a quick-dry effect, easy to look after. Still collared, this timeless garment also makes your attire a touch more casual than a usual shirt. Ideal for layering.
Keeping warm in good-looking clothing has never been easy. Especially with trousers, the warmer they are, the more heavy-duty they look —usually cargo pants or heavy selvedge denim. We've created a perfect medium that allows you to fineness between formal and casual. Designed with jean pockets on the front but the back does not follow a classic five-pocket design, but instead, with shaped flaps secured by a button fastening for a slightly more elegant look. The new propositions are in cotton moleskin, which keeps you warm and cosy. It has a delicate touch like suede but is surprisingly machine-washable. Civilman Trouser wearers, these would well justify a good addition to your wardrobe as they are unlike any of the ones you previously owned.
Enough said about the two sport jackets we introduced this season. One is our ultimate signature, the grey herringbone tweed, well worn and spotted on countless Anthologists. The JKF Man Tweed is a special collaboration piece introduced this season, mature, yet full of charming colours. For Anthologists who have been with us on your bespoke journey, now is the time to reserve and set aside a length as we now have a full restock coming. Contact customercare@theanthology.net for more information.
The idea of luxury can express through tactile experience. Fine quality is luxury, and gifting luxury is a form of care to make the receiver feel loved and treasured. Woven by the finest Scottish mill in wool/cashmere, this is a piece to spoil one rotten. Apart from everyday wear, this can also smartly dress for a not-so-strict black tie event or the upcoming end-of-year party. All you need is a pair of tuxedo trousers with satin on the side, some fine socks, dress slippers or black oxfords and a handsome bowtie.
The Camelhair Polo Coat is a once-in-a-lifetime investment. The style has its ebb and flow, but for a classic lover, this is definitely one of the milestone purchases that will always look timeless and forever make a treasured memory. Speak to us if you need help figuring out your size.
Adding a personal touch. Available to style in countless unimaginable ways. A simple pocket square woven in a wicked colour scheme. We also call it 'Francis Bacon'.
A good place to start for someone to get a taster of The Anthology. A thoughtfully designed knitted t-shirt that has long lived as part of our core. The ecru in particular can also be treated as an underlayer, sits nicely under a casual shirt or polo with beautiful ribbed neck detailing.
Calling places in the Southern hemisphere such as Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. If you are coasting along the coastline during the festive season, these breezy linen drawstring trousers can offer you a relaxed, pyjama-esque experience with an elevated feel without needing to try hard.
