LONG HAUL FLIGHT ESSENTIALS

Transversing the skies can be a thrilling experience, but deciding on a suitable outfit for a long flight can be a daunting task. At Rodd & Gunn, we appreciate the significance of finding the perfect balance between comfort and style when it comes to men’s travel attire.

Undoubtedly, comfort is the key component of any travel ensemble. Opting for breathable fabrics that can help regulate body temperature will keep you feeling fresh and comfortable throughout your journey. Garments in our collection of lightweight cotton and linen are meticulously crafted to cater to your comfort needs and ensure you remain relaxed.

An element that mustn't be overlooked is the art of layering. Between the fluster of boarding and high-powered air-conditioning jets, it’s important to be able to adapt to changes in temperature during your journeys. Luckily, simple layering techniques allow you to do just that.

Start with a comfortable base layer, such as our iconic Gunn Polo made from high-quality pique cotton, and add a lightweight jumper like our Queenstown sweater. Depending on your final destination, top it off with an unstructured blazer or wool coat for added style and protection against the elements.

Next, think about arguably the most important item: trousers. Versatility comes in many forms, but for long haul flights, comfort should be at the forefront.

Our Gunn Straight Fit Jeans are cut from textured cotton and enriched with a small amount of stretch for a smarter flying option. If jeans are still too much, our Chequers Way Track Pants paired with a simple t-shirt gives you the most relaxed solution, perfect for lengthy flights.

Accessories play an important role when it comes to travel outfits. From the right carry-on luggage to a compact shave bag and the right socks, being prepared with the right gear is key. Our Double Barrel Duffle Bags feature a wide, adjustable shoulder strap with an internal pocket, big enough to fit all your essentials and small enough to fit overhead.

Our Shave Bags are cut from premium quality materials and feature expansion clips at either end, easily able to carry your toothbrush and assortment of sub-100mL liquids. When it comes to socks, take a minimum of two pairs. One for the first half, one for the second. Rodd & Gunn’s socks come in two-packs and feature a cushioned sole with subtle logo embroidery.

Lastly, choose footwear that is suitable for both destinations. Boots with elasticated gussets and durable construction make for a comfortable and practical trip Our Sussex Street Sneakers are also a great option for flying, with their low-rise cut, comfortable footbed and classic lace-up design.

When it comes to the seemingly daunting task of packing for your next long-haul, shop Rodd & Gunn’s comfortable clothes, accessories and footwear. Our premium fabrics and timeless designs will elevate your travel style, both for business and pleasure.
