Essence of Quality

EMBRACE THE ESSENCE OF QUALITY

29th April 2023
Rodd & Gunn has always stood for quality in every sense of the word.

We’ve searched the globe for quality fabrics - the finest cotton, softest wools, luxurious leather. We partner with quality suppliers - family-owned textile mills in the heart of Italy, Hungarian bag makers - their hands carrying the knowledge of generations before them.

When you’re in between seasons, a lightweight jacket is a must. With its clean-lined silhouette and lightweight cotton twill, the Wiscombe jacket is ideal for a morning commute or weekend coffee run. Boasting high performance insulation, it provides warmth but is still breathable - ideal for when the Autumn sun catches you off guard.

 

HEADED SOMEWHERE A BIT MORE LUXE
FOR YOUR LONG WEEKEND?

 

 

You’ll need a tonal, tailored look that exudes style without being too showy. Our Arrowtown Shearling jacket is the ultimate statement in luxury, and is well worth the investment. Hand-crafted from the finest lamb skin in a rich chocolate brown, tanned in Turkey and lined in traditional shearling, this jacket will last the distance. Originally designed to stop fighter pilots freezing when 20,000ft up in the air, the Arrowtown jacket will keep you equally warm back on solid ground.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE'RE ABOUT
QUALITY MEMORIES.

 

As autumn rolls around, so too does the promise of a few long weekends. An extra couple of days to slow the pace. That blissful feeling of total relaxation. The first bite on the end of your line. Finishing a good book. The heady sip of beer on a Saturday afternoon.

AFTER SOMETHING RELAXED, BUT STILL REFINED?

 

Look no further than the Pentland Hills overshirt. Featuring a subtle puppytooth fabric in steel blue, the style is inspired by worker shirts from our archive. Hardy and robust, the Pentland Hills overshirt looks best when worn with our relaxed fit Italian denim, and our Dunedin Military boot. It’s about finding that balance between practicality and style, and being able to transition from a day spent exploring the outdoors, to a night at the local pub with ease.

Waterfront drinks on the cards? Make sure to pack our new gingham checked Sheill Hill Blazer. We like to approach smart-casual wear with a relaxed point of view. The blazer has a lighter, more natural shoulder shape - it’s preppy, but unpretentious.

For a timeless look with just a hint of irreverence, pair the Sheill Hill blazer with our Queenstown cashmere-wool blend knitwear, West-Cape pants in a comfortable Italian stretch fabric, and our dress-casual staple, the Dargaville Chelsea boot.

 

NO MATTER WHERE YOUR LONG WEEKEND ESCAPE TAKES YOU,
WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED.

 

To modernise your ensemble, layer up in subtle variations of earthy tones. Throw different patterns, fabrics and finishes into the mix to add depth. We suggest reaching for our Diamond Peak quarter-zip merino sweater in chocolate. Its elegant design, ribbed chest and mid-weight gauge makes it the perfect middle layer. Take it a step further and add a bold, vintage-check overshirt, like our new Bryant shirt. With a placket front and modern straight hem, it will add a rugged edge to your luxe look.

For those quiet nights spent gathered round the bonfire, comfort is key. Our 100% lightweight cotton t-shirt and hugely popular Motion melange jeans are must-have items for any weekend away. And when the last beer is poured and the fire embers flicker out, have our Halfmoon Ave overshirt on hand. Crafted from a thick, yet soft cotton twill and featuring a black and white check, it’s been pre-washed for softness - it’s the ultimate touch of cosiness for those brisk autumn evenings.

As a brand that’s stood for quality over the past 75 years, Rodd & Gunn has been part of countless memories. Whether it’s a family gathering, a fishing trip with friends, or a solo weekend getaway, our garments have been a trusted companion on many adventures. It’s time to embrace the great outdoors and make quality memories with Rodd & Gunn’s Journey to Paradise collection.
