Starting out by developing his own take on the classic baseball cap, James quickly built his eponymous brand, putting a focus on premium fabrics and designs inspired by his US west coast roots.

Bonobos

American menswear brand Bonobos is one to turn to if you’re looking to really stock up on the basics. Founded with the mission to develop the perfect fitting pair of pants, Bonobos has since expanded into a complete clothing brand for men looking for well-fitting, simple pieces that won’t break the bank. We’re particularly fond of their shirt, jeans, and chino collections, and you should certainly take a look at the dedicated golf range if you’re a keen golfer.

Rhone

Women may have almost too much choice when it comes to athletic clothing, but men have always had to make do with the bare minimum. Rhone arrived to put an end to that, offering guys genuinely premium gym clothing and athletic wear, that can also easily be worn away from the squat rack as everyday pieces. Serious research and development go into all of Rhone’s fabrics, resulting in a brand you can rely upon for genuine quality and high performance.

Reiss

Founded in 1971 as a menswear only brand before eventually diversifying into womenswear, British fashion brand Reiss is one for the dapper gentleman. Suiting, chinos, shirts, and knitted polo shirts make up the menswear collection, so if you’re someone who appreciates clean lines, neutral colours, and subtle yet effective details, Reiss is the clothing brand for you.

Saturdays NYC

A brand that just oozes contemporary New York style is Saturdays NYC. Founded as Saturdays Surf, owing to the fact it took inspiration from beachy vibes and surfing culture, the brand blossomed into a more mature, yet still undeniably cool label. Completely unpredictable when it comes to each season’s drop, Saturdays NYC consistently keeps things fresh and fashion-focused, incorporating new fabrics, prints, and branding so loyal customers remain loyal.

The Kooples

​​French fashion label The Kooples was founded in 2008 by three brothers. Their quirky, rock ‘n’ roll-inspired designs, aimed at couples wishing to dress in similar ways, has proven hugely successful, and their men’s clothing has even been worn by many celebrities. Whether it be skull-emblazoned t-shirts or skinny-fit suits, The Kooples has carved out a unique aesthetic; one that you should seriously get behind.

31/37

Western Rise

Founded by a couple of outdoor guides in Colorado, Western Rise promises to offer you performance men’s clothing that can replace the majority of what you already have in your wardrobe. The brand’s collection consists primarily of tops, such as t-shirts, hoodies, and shirts, along with some pants and a few pairs of shorts. But most of these pieces are water-resistant, offer a good amount of stretch, are made from premium materials and in some cases, are moisture-wicking. They look great too, so Western Rise’s clothing can be worn for anything from outdoor hikes to indoor date nights.

32/37

Vilebrequin

Summer and its respective holidays always calls for an update to our beachwear wardrobe, and Vilebrequin is a brand you need to be stocking your summer wardrobe with. The French brand is the master when it comes to swimming trunks, which might be more expensive than your everyday high-street brand, but the level of detail and quality of materials that goes into them makes the price a whole lot more justifiable.

33/37

Rag & Bone

34/37

AMI Paris

Founded in 2011 by Alexandre Mattiussi, Parisian label AMI Paris produces clothes that are minimal yet sleek. One to lean more towards casual looks than formal, AMI’s founder describes his collections as “real clothes for a real man”. That’s certainly evident, as you won’t find any real signs of men’s fashion trying too hard to be fashionable, instead, much simpler pieces that you’ll genuinely be able to wear each and every day.

35/37

Belstaff

For quality outerwear including leather and waxed jackets – and to invest in a brand loved by David Beckham – turn your attention to Belstaff. You can expect nothing less than the highest quality from this British label, which has a strong association with motorbike culture. In fact, Belstaff, which was founded in 1924, was the first to use wax cotton to make waterproof motorcycle jackets, a feat that has since been imitated by countless other men’s clothing brands.

36/37

Orlebar Brown

Another genuine favourite of us here at DMARGE, Orlebar Brown makes, in our opinion, some of the best looking and best value swim shorts around. Add to that a fully-fledged men’s fashion clothing collection that encompasses winter pieces too, and one that makes great use of innovative fabrics, and you have yourself a British brand that needs to be on your shopping list.

37/37

Tomorrow's Laundry

Californian brand Tomorrow’s Laundry offers guys two ways to buy their thoughtfully curated collection of t-shirts and hoodies. You can either buy as normal via a shopping cart, or you can subscribe and receive two t-shirts or one hoodie each month, chosen by the company’s stylists. Quality is guaranteed because the company focuses its attention on just a limited range, meaning more time is spent ensuring they’re the best around.
