]]>It is somewhat vampire-esque with the collar flipped up and the D-Ring tightened which I believe creates a unique look that simultaneously expresses confidence which is a good thing for me. The shirt also has side seam pockets and feature front chest patch pockets.
It has external patch pockets which can be attached asymmetrically via the central button closure. The pockets have D-ring detailing and tabs for a utilitarian aesthetic.
The actual shirt is cut boxy and oversized for a relaxed fit and is a perfect daily wearer with the added functional chest pockets. I take a size 2 in this garment and you can find it HERE.Hope you have all been well. This week I am writing a continuation on my previous blog post. Last entry I spoke about Building Your Own Capsule Collection (Read Here), this will be part two in that series.
I will be expressing my love for some of our ‘essential’ tops to pair with your staple trousers that I have been wearing during these colder days. These, once again have been carefully hand-picked by myself to provide yourselves with a solid foundation to a great, versatile, layered wardrobe!
During these colder months, you will need some longer sleeved tops in order to stay warm. These garments can provide you with comfort and style and serve as your own creative canvas, ready to layer on top of, in this colder period we are in.
Most of our ‘Top’ offerings have an elongated hemline which – when paired with our drop crotch pant silhouettes – create some very unique proportioning.
Changing up your bodily proportions through clothing can be motivated by any number of reasons. Whichever it may be, following my guide is sure to bring something fresh to your wardrobe.
The first top I would love to talk about is the Tyson Crew OR.
This long-sleeve crewneck top is the perfect casual stand-alone top or a great layered option under a jacket. Composed of an organic cotton and spandex blend for comfort - Its detailing is what sets it apart from other similar looking options. Firstly, the added stretch in the composition is an understated addition, allowing the garment to conform to your body – and even more-so in a size down! The long-line hem is positioned to be perfectly paired with our drop crotch pants with its raw edges providing a subtle-yet-unique transition into your bottom third as the hem frays over time. The sleeves are elongated also, with finished edges designed to sit past your wrist and stack. It’s a nice detail which I personally find attractive in a garment. Certainly, a menswear essential for any Et Al Man. I take a size 2 in this garment, but can very easily fit into a size 1 due to the stretching capability of this piece.
The second tops are quite similar in nature so I will discuss them together.
The Field Hoodie TA and the Bannon Jumper TA.
Perfect interchangeable garments these are. Filling the role of a casual, warm, throw-on piece which can be worn in or out of the house! They both boast a boxy, angular cut with exposed seam piping details and both are made of a French Terry weave. The Field Hoodie TA has herringbone woven drawcords falling from an asymmetrical front hooded detail. Completing the look is a patch, front-facing kangaroo pocket for extra storage or to keep your hands warm in cooler temperatures. It also has the repeated raw-hem detail motif for that Et Al flair.
The Bannon Jumper TA has many similarities but has an angular raw hem and a crew-neck collar for a less casual look. It can be more easily integrated into a more presentable outfit without sacrificing comfort. The layering possibilities are endless with both of these to create unique shapes around the hem-line pairing either of these with our other tops. Definitely essential pieces and I take a size 2 in both but could easily fit into a size 1!
Finally, I would like to talk about one of our underrated gems. It hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves in the past and I’m here to shine some light on the Lambert Crew MJ.
This 100% Merino Wool long-sleeve Top has an effortless drape and flattering form. Being composed of merino wool fibres as opposed to cotton, it brings different properties upon itself as a long-sleeve. It has better insulation potential as the temperature continues to drop while also remaining a cool option if it warms up due to the thickness (or thinness) of the fibres. Once again, raw hew edging and side seam splits add some character to this lovely garment. The perfect layering piece in my opinion. I take a size 2 in this garment but easily can fit a size 1 also.
One extra option I’ve decided to throw in is the Norther Crew OR.
It has the same fabrication as the Tyson Crew OR with much of the same details but this one has the same finished, asymmetrical, fold over hem as our most-loved Alex Crew. Another great piece which I adore!
I hope at least one of these garments resonates with you as this cool weather continues.
You can find all of these previously mentioned garments available on our website HERE in the Men’s Essentials section.
Following this guide, I hope you feel that you can have a perfect foundation for your own personal capsule wardrobe which can be worn for years to come.
As always, feel free to reach me via email for any questions or queries: melbourne@etal-australia.com
Your friend,

These pants are a unisex cut, rich with intricate detailing. They have a dropped crotch with a functional longer exposed eleven-button fly which extends down to the just above bottom of the crotch as an extra subtlety. The wide leg and relaxed fit make these some of the most comfortable pants I own. They have a cropped length which, due to the garments paneling, can create a cinched aesthetic from behind the calf which allows them to transition seamlessly into your choice of footwear – I think they look best with pair of black boots with a slim shaft! They can be worn high or low waisted due to the non-restrictive nature of the pant rise and you can practically size up or down in order to fit your body type best and they will still look fantastic. They have two back patch pockets and two front side seam pockets to store plenty of daily necessities. The main attraction to this garment is the 3D front panel detailing which can be situated to lay flatter against the body or flared out for a more experimental and dramatic silhouette. These pants can easily be dressed up or down with the simple addition of one of our shirt offering’s or a casual top respectively. The fabric is also composed of a cotton/elastane blend to ensure all-day comfort and no restriction in any areas of your lower body. A truly magnificent pair of pants which can adapt to any occasion or intended use.
In regards to sizing, I wear a size 2 in this garment and you can find it HERE.
A simple yet not understated silhouette these pants bring. They are a slim-cut jogger with front-facing pleats and a slightly dropped crotch. Elasticated waist with drawstring fastening and an elasticated cuff at the hem. They also have two rear patch pockets and side seam slip pockets for extra storage on the go. These pants come in two fabric options – the AN and the OL. The AN is a cotton/elastane blend with a crisp and dry hand-feel, similar to a heavyweight poplin weave. Even with the slim cut of the leg, the elastane ensures they will always conform to your bodily movements. The front facing pleats sharpen its appearance to a more refined aesthetic which, paired with the sleek nature of the weave, allow the pair to be dressed up with boots as I so often do, while still retaining the comfort of a casual outfit. The subtle dropped crotch is a very accessible detail to those looking to newly experiment with proportion altering by pairing it with a long-line top or it can serve as a more toned-down option for the layering adept. The OL fabric is a heavy-weight terry fabric with added elastane for a comfortable stretch. These boast the same detailing as the AN counterpart but aimed for a more casual and comfortable look and feel. Similar to your favourite pair of sweatpants, these can fill the same role in your wardrobe as a go-to for a cosy day inside or a casual day out of the house. There are endless styling possibilities for these two options and I certainly regard these as one of our must-haves, available in a choice of fabric that will be suited to everyone – one way or the other.
In these I take a size 2, but due to the drawstring fastening and elasticated waist, sizing is very generous and can fit a range of waist sizes. They can be found HERE for the AN version and HERE for the OL version.
The final pair of pants I would love to communicate with you today is the Dart Pant.
These are a full length, slim fit trouser. Sleek, tailored, refined and smart are my best description of these. They are for the Et Al Man who prefers a dressier appearance. These come accompanied with a visible asymmetrical button closure with internal hook fastening, a higher rise and darting at the crotch and waist for a tailored fit. The fabric for these trousers was made in Japan – a cotton/polyurethane blend. It is a heavyweight cotton flannel with a brushed hand-feel with a polyurethane coating for additional wind and water resistance. These also, like most of our offerings, feature a dropped crotch for comfort, sizing flexibility and added layering potential. The high rise and dropped crotch allow for a high or low waisted fit, so sizing up or down should be no problem for the typical gentleman to fit your needs and your waist. I make these pants my go-to dress option with a button-up shirt and boots for a smart occasion or wear a form fitting knit or t-shirt in a more casual environment. They come with an intentionally long inseam which can be worn as is, or hemmed to your desired length. We do offer an alterations service and you can get your trousers shortened by our most trusted tailor if you so choose. I also often pair these with a cropped blazer such as the Hardy Blazer and a longline top to balance my proportions. These can fall perfectly on some derbies or other dress shoes in your footwear rotation and can be a pair of pants that will last you through many years to come.
I take a size 1 in the Dart Pant but can just as easily wear a size 2 on my lower waist. HERE is a link to this pair of trousers.
Now that the weather is cooling down as we transition into Autumn, I will be getting lots of wear out of my own pairs of these I have discussed. I know I will have no trouble making them work for my needs for any seasons in the upcoming future. I have shown you the versatility and dynamic nature of all of these garments and I hope I can help you with your own personal uniform in the making.
If you have any more queries please contact me at melbourne@etal-australia.com.
You can find all of these previously mentioned garments available on our website HERE in the Men’s Essentials section.
In my next discussion with you, I will be gearing my approach to focusing on my selection of tops I regard as ‘essential’ which will pair effortlessly with anything I have showcased previously.
You can find some of these already online also in the Men’s essentials section for a sneak peek on what is to come in the near future.
As always, I hope you enjoyed perusing my article and I wish you all a wonderful day following it.
Sam
