Blacksmith and toolmaker Alex Pole has spent more than three decades shaping hot steel into functional, beautifully crafted tools. In this conversation, Alex talks openly about the pull of craft, the realities of the workshop and what the future holds for blacksmithing.

It's all about building a versatile wardrobe where key pieces work double-duty.

I convinced myself that becoming big, strong, and intimidating would change my life for the better, but since I couldn’t risk being seen by my peers as I struggled to learn weight lifting, I trained tirelessly in the dark of the night.

Christian Dunbar is a furniture artist  whose work blurs the line between function and fine art. Based in Red Hook, Brooklyn, he has built a reputation for creating pieces that are as daring in form as they are rooted in material integrity.

From rugged canvas outers to textured cardigans in rich Autumnal tones, each garment is crafted to last and created with heritage inspiration but modern functionality. Here’s how to build your 2025 wardrobe around them.

Ten years ago, I traveled to Scandinavia to solve a family mystery four generations in the making: am I a bastard prince of Denmark?

This isn't about buying more clothes - it's about investing in the right ones. This is a testament to slow fashion, demonstrating how a few thoughtfully chosen garments can adapt to any climate.

Inspired by Britain’s raw and rugged landscapes; the moors, the field walls, the distant horizons, Heartland is a collection rooted in movement, endurance, and the sense of home we return to after the road.

Every jacket, shirt, and layer we create is built for generations. Designed to endure, to gather history, and to be passed on. That belief led us to launch &SONS Pre-Loved, a place where pioneers can trade their garments, discover something new, and keep clothing in circulation.

A new season is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe, not by replacing everything, but by introducing a few key pieces that add depth, texture, and versatility. 

As a class guide at Heroes & Horses, Ryan draws on his own journey to help veterans confront challenges, build confidence, and find strength within themselves, whether on horseback, in the wilderness, or through the program’s transformative experiences.

As summer fades into autumn, the key to dressing well is light layering. Combining breathable fabrics with versatile pieces that move effortlessly between warm afternoons and cooler evenings. Think of this season as a chance to build balance: comfort, adaptability and refinement in equal measure.

From the cowboys of the American frontier to the rebels and rock stars of the 20th century, denim jeans have always been about more than clothing. They embody freedom, durability, and identity, shaping subcultures, inspiring style revolutions, and standing the test of time.

The three giant rocky sea stacks that sit just offshore in the rough waters of Oceanside, Oregon are hidden by a dense fog, as ceaseless clouds carry quickly through the air on the back of a strong, cold summer breeze. The hard wind sends the soft white sand into the air and into the thick beard and long eyelashes of my beloved five-year-old Bassett Hound mix, Blue, who keeps his eyes shut as his short little legs slowly trot ahead down the beach.

Style isn’t about chasing trends or copying what you see on a feed. It’s about knowing yourself, investing in what lasts, and building a wardrobe that works as hard as you do. 

Style should never feel like guesswork. Instead, it should be intuitive: simple choices that create considered, versatile looks. Every shirt, jacket, or pair of jeans becomes part of a larger story, a collection you can rely on for years to come.

The &SONS Capsule Wardrobe Trial; I’m already feeling a significant shift in my daily routine. My goal for this year is to truly experience the practical side of a limited, high-quality wardrobe, and so far, it’s proving to be an absolute revelation.

Every generation has a style icon - someone whose clothes weren’t just worn, but lived in. The McQueen Collection is our tribute to the man who blended rugged authenticity with quiet confidence. It’s a considered, ongoing project to bring his legacy to life - piece by piece, stitch by stitch.

Brendan is an Australian-born photographer with a passion for Americana, cinematic storytelling, and the rugged landscapes of the American West.

Light layers, hard-working fabrics, and easy combinations become essential, especially when space is tight and every piece needs to earn its place. This is your go-to kit list for the summer getaway. 

In a world saturated with fast fashion, the concept of investing in fewer, higher-quality garments that stand the test of time is more important than ever. &SONS, with its dedication to timeless design and robust construction, embodies this ethos perfectly.

He and I are driving southwest down the highway from Denver, headed for a weekend in a charming mountain town with natural hot springs, a drive-in movie theatre, and a 1,000-inmate correctional complex nestled in the heart of the Rockies: Buena Vista.

We asked thousands of you to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with &SONS. From product feedback to deeper reflections on identity and confidence, the answers spoke volumes.

You know the feeling when you pull on a piece of clothing that just feels right – well-made, comfortable, and truly timeless? That's what &SONS stands for, and now, I'm putting their commitment to the ultimate real-world test.

Summer’s in full swing, and it’s the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe with some of our standout pieces. Whether you’re packing for a sun-soaked escape, heading to the coast, or staying closer to home, this is your chance to pick up those pieces you’ve had your eye on.

Steve McQueen was more than an actor—he was a cultural icon who embodied rugged swagger, cool defiance, and a passion for speed. Known for films like Bullitt and The Great Escape, McQueen blurred the lines between Hollywood glamour and gearhead grit, which made him an enduring symbol of masculinity.

Some opportunities come along that feel bigger than just design or clothing - they feel like a chance to pay respect to someone who helped shape your path. That’s exactly what the McQueen x &SONS collaboration has meant to us.

Some machines aren’t just vehicles, and The Land Rover is one of them. It wasn’t designed in a boardroom, nor dreamt up as a sleek status symbol. It was sketched in the sand on a beach in Anglesey, North Wales in 1947, by a man looking for a tool to help rebuild a post-war nation.

This is the tenth Father’s Day without my dad. Steve Nelson was as devilishly handsome as he was dangerously charming, and he loved me as much as I love him, which is a lot. Every day I desperately want to talk to him, laugh with him, and ask his advice about how to navigate this increasingly confusing life, but I can’t, so instead I turn to my father figures.

There’s a weight many men carry. A constant tension between who we are, who we think we should be, and who we fear we might become if we stop trying so hard.

The smell of smoke on your clothes. The hiss of coffee on a fire. That quiet satisfaction of knowing you packed just enough - and packed it right.

There’s something ritualistic about getting dressed on a Sunday. Whether you're heading out for brunch, browsing the local market, or just enjoying a quiet moment with a coffee and a good book, Sunday is a mood.

Welcome to &SONS Pre-Loved, our new home for second-hand and unworn &SONS gear.

As part of our ongoing Pioneers Series, we had the pleasure of sitting down with award-winning author, illustrator, and storyteller Benji Davies. Best known for his much-loved picture books The Storm Whale and Grandad's Island, Benji’s work is celebrated for its warmth, depth, and ability to explore life’s big themes through simple, heartfelt narratives.

The best garments aren’t just worn - they’re lived in. This philosophy lies at the heart of our latest release: The Indigo Collection.

In my youth I had enjoyed many nights of illegal high-speed racing on the streets of Chicago. I was simply a big-headed, square-jawed boy at the sweet and stupid age of 22 years old who somehow managed to fill his pockets with the keys to all the coolest, fastest, and most dangerous toys in the world.

Charlie’s career has taken him to some of the most remote and fragile ecosystems on Earth. With over two decades of work for National Geographic under his belt, he’s captured everything from the intricate beauty of kingfishers in the British countryside to the heart-wrenching destruction of rainforests in the Amazon.

Great garments can be made anywhere - if they’re built with care and a clear conscience. 

From easy layering pieces to transitional staples, these are the items Phil is reaching for right now, and why they’ve earned a place in his wardrobe.

Patience, not polish. Let time do the work. Here’s everything you need to know.

We’ve always known that style is more than just clothing; it’s about confidence, connection, and feeling your best, inside and out.

Spring dressing isn’t about a single approach; it’s about flexibility, preparing for crisp mornings, sun-drenched afternoons, and cool, lingering evenings. Think of it as curating a wardrobe that works with nature, not against it.

Some people move through life following a set path, while others carve their own; embracing uncertainty, chasing experiences and embodying the pioneering spirit that defines our brand. JK Winders is one of those people.

Inspired by the golden age of West Coast style, this collection blends rugged workwear, vintage surf influences, and effortless 1970s Americana.
