The two colours

What olive and white each bring

A signature pairing. Keeps olive fresh and crisp.

olive

A muted, earthy green that behaves like a neutral. Utilitarian and warm, it looks strong in autumn and relaxed in spring.

Works best as: Chinos, cargo pants, field jackets and overshirts.

white

Crisp, clean and bright. It lifts darker pieces and reads fresh in summer; in winter it looks most intentional as a knit or a coat.

Works best as: Shirts, tees and sneakers near every outfit; white trousers are a stronger summer statement.
