Montegrappa
What ever happened to fountain pens? We’ve missed them, so we think it’s time they made a comeback. And what better way to reintroduce them to our jacket pockets, than with this: the Ayrton Senna Champion Edition Fountain Pen in Silver. £2,675, 0207 730 1234; montegrappa.com
LOOK SHARP DAKS
This fine Balger Check Jacket by DAKS caught our attention because, whilst understated, its tailoring sets it apart. The fit is perfect, it’s comfortable, wearable and ideal for weekends in the country. £425, 101 Jermyn Street, SW1Y, 020 7839 9980; daks.com
