Moncler gilet

Always fancied chartering one of the best explorer yachts for a round-the-world adventure? The great outdoors needn’t be a great ordeal if you let Robert Johnston kit you out in serious style...

Moncler gilet

Born in the French Alps and raised in Milan, Moncler has turned the down-filled jacket into an international style icon. This Morellet hooded gilet works brilliantly layered over (or under) a blazer to turn town wear into outdoor gear.

£505, moncler.com

RM Williams boots

Aussie swagman turned millionaire, Reginald Murray Williams’ boots are famous the world over for their rugged style. These Craftsman boots work just as well on deck as they do in the outback.

£350, rmwilliams.com.au

Arc'Teryx jacket

Arc’teryx (named after the Archaeopteryx, the earliest bird fossil known to science) specialises in performance wear for the great outdoors. This lightweight jacket is a mix of breathable Gore-Tex technical fabrics that will keep the cold and wet at bay – and it looks cool, too.

£360, arcteryx.com

Thom Sweeney sweater

Thom Whiddett and Luke Sweeney have breathed new life into stuffy Savile Row thanks to their sharp cuts and celebrity clientele. Their knitwear, like this cable-knit cashmere sweater, is as well made as their suits and perfect for the great outdoors.
