The August Wish List features a mix of vintage inspired pieces as well as contemporary sport related items as a modern lifestyle blends both. It's been a weird summer in the UK, where its been pretty cold for most of the time, or cloudy and humid. Which means a combination of needing to layer or carry with you all options to hand just to be ready.

Gloverall Keats Safari Jacket
We haven't really had a proper summer yet in the UK so this Safari Jacket from Gloverall is the ideal warm weather compromise made from a lightweight and breathable linen. Featuring a looser comfortable regular shape for easy layering this can carry over into early autumn quite nicely. Plus it has plenty of pockets which is just what I like with four large flap pockets at the front.

REDWOOD RECON C-46 COMMANDO STEALTH WATCH
The Redwood Recon was inspired by the legendary chronographs issued to air force pilots from WW2 onwards. It's a great blend of classic design with modern functionality. The Recon C-46 Commando Stealth with its military style black black dial and PVD-coated case is pure vintage military style. The watch uses Seiko VK64 movement, combining the unparalleled accuracy of quartz timekeeping with the mechanical finesse of a 5 Hz smooth sweeping seconds chronograph module.

The Frankie Shop Sinclair Denim Shirt
I've been keen on a mid-wash denim shirt for a while so even though it's summer, I see this as a versatile option that can cross over into autumn. The colour though is what I'm most after so I can mix-and-match with chinos and vintage military items. This shirt has more of an exaggerated relaxed fit with drop shoulders, so I see this as a louche option (not one I'll be tucking into my trousers).

I use other balms etc but this is great to apply straight after a run. Comprising 1000mg CBD as well as menthol and arnica it's going to do the trick.
