At first glance, this probably looks like a classic (you could say timeless) Mackintosh overcoat, a staple of many wardrobes for the wet British climate. But this is a slightly more modern interpretation – the Griffin x Mackintosh raincoat.

Most of the detailing is classic Mackintosh, a knee-length raincoat with concealed button fastening in a 'sand' colour, waterproof of course. But as an added twist, Griffin has added it's trademark 'camo' for the lining and thrown in a couple of underarm eyelets for detail and getting a bit of air inside where it tends to get warm.

Still made in Scotland (of course), but available via Griffin, it sells for £475.

We’ve featured a couple of classic trench coats of late, but the Burberry Packable Trench Coat has one added trick up its sleeve. As the name suggests, it packs away when the rain clouds go away.

Yes, just like a plastic cagoule, this upmarket trench packs away into its own little bag. Except this bag, of course, is just up a few notches in style. The coat is no poor relation either, complete with all the classic detailing – double breasted, epaulettes, cuff details and so on.

Not the cheapest trench coat on the market though – it sells for £350.

If you're looking for authenticity in your denim, you might want to check out the forthcoming Lee Originals Westerner range, which will be exclusively available at Oki-Ni from September.

First introduced in 1959 and produced into the 1960s, the Lee Westerners (sometimes called Lee Whites) were the first white dress-up jeans and jackets. The new versions are rare Japanese replicas, the trouser based on the classic 101z (now called the 100Z), accompanied by the 101J jacket and a Westerner shirt, all remade in 'Westweave Sateen'.

Each of the items will be available in black, khaki and tan (no white yet) for an as-yet undisclosed price. But if you're interested, you can pre-register an interest at Oki-Ni. It might be worth doing too if you want to guarantee an item. A close-up image is over the page.
