THE JOURNEY TO CURATING TIMELESS MEN'S CASHMERE
By the Robert Old Team
15th November 2022
The story of Robert Old cashmere sweaters is deeply intertwined into the story and heritage of the Scottish landscape, something we at Robert Old are great admirers of. Widely regarded as the king of fibres, Cashmere is prized for its incredibly soft fibre and thermal insulation properties. It is recognised by Robert Old as a supreme fibre choice for the finest Scottish knitwear. It is for this reason we prize our Scottish cashmere as an integral part of the Robert Old DNA. The journey to painstakingly curating premium men’s cashmere jumpers and cardigans is long, but necessary for producing results of this calibre.
The origin of the most desirable Cashmere fleece is sourced from the highest peaks of Inner Mongolia, where cashmere goats face some of the most extreme weather conditions. Extremities in weather conditions are a fundamental part of creating such a luxurious and resilient fleece, and the Inner Mongolian goat has a double-coat to protect itself against these conditions. Meticulously and carefully separating the two coats is paramount in achieving a fibre with maximum softness, and it is the coat known as the ‘duvet’ which is solely used in knitwear.
Integral to the fabric of the Scottish landscape is the uniquely soft waters which are fundamental in producing some of the finest cashmere cloth in the world. Steeped in the tradition and history of producing luxury cashmere, Robert Old cashmere is manufactured with attention to detail by a long-running family business. Handcrafting knitwear ensures that attention to detail is always a top priority. Robert Old cashmere takes unique name inspiration from the landscape and heritage of Scottish towns and villages admired by the Old family over the years.
MEN'S CREWNECK CASHMERE JUMPERS
The eponymous Tiree, famed for its white sandy beaches, takes the form of the classic nautical heritage of the crewneck sweater style. Supreme quality is our top priority, and this is exactly why we only use especially selected ‘Grade A’ cashmere fibre quality. Handcrafted from a fibre of maximum 16.5 microns and a minimum of 34mm in length- this durability and softness is unbeatable. With a round neckline, as well as regular and relaxed proportions, the Tiree crewneck is perhaps the perfect accompaniment for stylish and classic layering. Similarly synonymous with a nautical history and a rich textile history, the Rothesay cable crewneck provides a classic sweater silhouette, adorned with sophisticated cables- reflecting on the rich textile history of the Isle of Bute.
MEN'S CASHMERE V-NECK JUMPERS
The sophisticated gentlemen may look to a V-neck jumper to create a more curated look, allowing more versatile styling- ideal for making outfit pairings more visible. Why not reach for the Robert Old Tobermorey which embraces regular proportions for a classically inspired V-neck.
MEN'S CASHMERE CARDIGANS
Easily elevating your look couldn’t be easier with the classically handcrafted 4ply cashmere Mallaig knit, arguable the ultimate winter layering garment. Regular proportions with two front pockets about the waistband, make for a classic cardigan which is better suited to the winter months. When looking for a heavier weighted shawl collar cardigan, look no further than the 8ply Colonial, the perfect distinguished style. Combining warmth and breathability couldn’t be easier, with a warm collar and breathable open V neckline. Arguably the perfect extension to the Colonial shawl cardigan is the Torridon pullover, boasting a bold collar and a sophisticated V-shaped neckline.

IT'S HERE! THE COMPLETE MEN'S COAT GUIDE
By the Robert Old Team
28th October 2022
With the long summer evenings drawing in and a chill in the air, it is time to begin reaching for the autumnal layers- and there is no better place to look than the perfect coat. With the new autumnal season upon us, the addition of the warm coats provides the perfect layering tool to transform your look in the months ahead. When you’re dressed up in your winter attire, the truth is your coat sets the statement. Picking the correct coat can quickly have you looking the business.
There are plenty of factors to be considered when choosing the perfect big coat for the upcoming colder seasons, and Robert Old has you covered with everything from the most sophisticated performance styles, weights, and designers. The beauty of coats is that one garment has the power to transform your entire look with a host of different styles. Selecting the right coat is key to communicating this. The only question is, which style are you ready for?
THE PUFFER COAT
Puffers have asserted their dominance over recent years as the default coat style for the fashion-conscious individual. It is easy to see why as the puffer coat is the true epitome of both style and comfort. Often catering to the technical needs of more adventurous individuals, the versatility of the puffer coat is the perfect balance between warmth and lightness- uniquely individual to such a distinctive style. The Robert Old outerwear collection this season has been individually selected to provide some of the best examples of the puffer this season, with quilted puffers from Paul & Shark, Belstaff and our new outerwear heavyweight - MooRER.
THE PARKA COAT
Originating from the Canadian Arctic, it is no wonder that the iconic parka coat over recent years has once again become symbolised as a coat style suited to more extreme weather conditions. It embraced more performance textiles used for optimising warmth and durability. However today, the Parka is more commonly associated with a much more casual affair, best paired with a sweater, jeans, and some boots. This is something that is accommodated by Robert Old in a standout range this season. The Belstaff Altitude, created as part of a collaboration between Belstaff and Gore-Tex combines technically advanced materials and a more laid-back style. This Black Parka is down-filled and punctuated with 4 large pockets complementing the utilitarian style of the parka.
THE PEACOAT
Synonymous with a Naval past, the Peacoat is designed with durability as a primary concern. It is traditionally constructed from a coarse wool fibre, perfect for extreme conditions. This makes it ideal for the autumn and winter seasons for the contemporary wearer who enjoys a more classical outwear silhouette. The Peacoat has maintained the same classic double-breasted construction in a woollen twill composition throughout the style’s long history. Also revered for their boating history Paul & Shark have created the navy peacoat with heritage logo.
THE BOMBER JACKET
Similarly to the Peacoat, the Bomber jacket also shares a military past having been worn by the United States military for decades. Perhaps most famous for the MA1 style the bomber jacket which features a high collar (no hood), side slip pockets, arm pocket, and is often cut to an oversized fit. MooRER a new feature at Robert Old, provides some of the most technically advanced outerwear. Boasting the finest Siberian goose down jackets in the world, the Arena bomber jacket is paired with the noble merino wool for unmatched warmth and style. Or alternatively if you're looking for pure decadence look no further than our pure cashmere bomber jacket.

The wait is over. Bond is back on our screens in the much-anticipated twenty-fifth spy epic ‘No Time to Die’.
In the movie, the secret agent’s sartorial prowess steals the show, whether suited and booted, ice-cool and casual or wearing the look most synonymous with Bond – a sharp suited tuxedo teamed with the ultimate accessory - a vodka martini (shaken not stirred of course).
Our style spies here at Robert Old have got a tip-off. We’re thrilled to see famous UK footwear manufacturer Crockett & Jones is again helping Mr Bond put his best foot forward.
Robert Old is a major stockist of this range of high-end crafted footwear and has been for over forty years. We’re proud to stock shoes worn in the latest Bond movie ‘No Time to Die’ as well as classic 007 styles from ‘Skyfall’ and ‘Spectre’ all designed by this official movie partner.
Crockett & Jones have been hand-crafting shoes since 1879. Now in its fifth generation as a family firm, it’s an official partner with EON Productions, the makers of James Bond films.
Find out now about the iconic footwear starring in the latest Bond movie and how to get the top-to-toe Bond look for any mission you choose. Mr Bond, we’ve been expecting you.
SCENE-STEALER SHOES
The timeless elegance of this beautiful shoe gives it a leading role in ‘No Time to Die’,
featuring in a number of important scenes. Everything about the Highbury radiates sophistication, perfect for the suavest of secret agents to step out from MI5 in style.
Made from the finest calf leather for maximum comfort and definitive style, it features Crocket and Jones signature ‘City’ rubber sole. Made by the UK’s Harborough Rubber Company, these soles are 90% rubber, combining light weight with sure-footedness.
As Bond effortlessly shows, Highbury is the perfect choice of shoe for formal occasions and will also complement a smart-casual look. Sometimes even super spies have no time to change their shoes!
The Molton boot makes it mark in ‘No Time to Die’ as the storyline takes James Bond to Norway (not a spoiler alert we promise!). It has the characteristics of our favourite double agent – stylish and resilient. This Chukka boot style is derived from British military design, where a sturdy boot can mean the difference between life and death and has been fashioned for over a century.
The Molton is made of dark brown rough-out suede and features the famous Dainite rubber studded-pattern soles, made by the Harborough Rubber Company for over 100 years.
While the Bond boot may be used on screen for some tough encounters, we recommend a more sedate use, teaming it with a dark pair of chinos for dressed-down days. Actor Daniel Craig wore his personal Crockett & Jones Molton boots at a Bond press call - think urban edgy.
It wouldn’t be a Bond movie without 007 having to put the boot in, quite literally. Another boot favoured by James is this tough yet stylish Islay boot. The boot got its moment in the spotlight during the final dramatic scenes of ‘Skyfall’. If ever you find yourself being hunted in the Scottish Highlands by a power-crazed narcissist, your life can depend upon being sure-footed!
This brogue Derby boot is extremely sturdy. It’s fully lined, with storm welts giving it extra water resistance. It features the robust, studded Dainite sole as well as militaristic-style lacing. A perfect choice for Commander Bond with its roots in army footwear for officers and commandos.
Another ‘Skyfall’ shoe star, the Tetbury chukka boot is handmade from the highest quality wax calf. It’s available in brown, black and also in brown suede. This no-nonsense boot is strong in style and durability. Ideal for quick changes from city life to country living.
One of the most sought-after styles of the men's main collection, the Crockett and Jones Tetbury in wax calf chukka boot is a traditionally crafted plain fronted lace-up men's boot. Made from the finest calf suede leather with a Goodyear welted Dainite rubber sole, the Tetbury boot is available in a dark brown or black.
Double agents are never off duty. This Alex shoe, featured in ‘Skyfall’ is a classic must-have, ready to be pulled out of a suitcase quicker than M can delete you from her files. Made of beautiful black calf leather, this whole-cut Oxford is formal footwear style that dates back over two hundred years and still has appeal for a modern-day double-agent.
You can shop for Bond footwear Formal & Casual Men's Shoes, Boots & Sneakers (robertold.co.uk) Hurry. The phone is already ringing off the hook for styles featured in the latest movie.
TOP SECRET STYLING
When you’re busy saving the world from villains or charming secrets out of femme fatales, it’s hard to squeeze in time for shopping. To help out our super spy, we’ve done a bit of personal shopping, bringing together the 007 look from top to toe. We also highly recommend the accessories of an Aston Martin and a Vesper martini to complete the look.
Suit and sex appeal come together in teaming ‘No Time to Die’ star shoe Highbury with these exquisite trousers and jacket by Italian tailoring masters Ermenegildo Zegna. The grey check weave is subtle whilst the styling is contemporary and quietly authoritative. Complete the look with a blue-spotted silk tie, classic leather belt and classic car.
The Molton is a firm favourite both here at Robert Old and with Bond himself (Daniel Craig has his own pair). This movie star of a shoe creates a strong look for outdoor pursuits, whether it be shoot-outs or train-roof riding. Also perfect for the more likely stomp to a country pub!
Our own brand Italian navy chinos look brilliant with this boot style. Exclusively made for us in Italy, a suede gilet offers warmth without the burden of a heavy coat. Combine with the zip-up style of a luxurious Scottish cashmere sweater to complement the neat lines of the gilet. Layering with a Swiss flanello 100% cotton shirt will keep you cool under pressure. And for disguise from the enemy and/or warmth, add a traditionally-styled fisherman’s hat in cashmere.

Blue is a favourite shade for this Bond so team with a cotton and cashmere blend shirt in this on-trend colour. Bond would also appreciate our beautiful Nubuck suede bomber-style jacket lined with premium wool to cope with the harshest of Highland winds. It’s made in Italy exclusively for Robert Old. Team this top half with jeans from Ermenegildo Zegna which offer a flattering fit to all of us, not just muscled MI5 men. The five pockets could also come in handy for all those life-saving gadgets from Q or, for us mere mortals, our phone and credit cards.

The solid style Chelsea 8 is the perfect shoe for creating a contemporary smart/casual look. Think Bond on a weekend jaunt to a manor house or mansion. This striking Prince of Wales check jacket has great attention to detail and is ideal as the weather gets colder. Combine the warmth of a 100% Merino wool sweater in charcoal with a black pure silk T-shirt to complement the monochrome jacket. Black slim-fit jeans streamline the look to create secret agent style.

It may only be moments before it’s blood-splattered or seductively removed by a Bond girl, but 007 dressed in a tuxedo is an iconic image in every Bond movie.
The formal lines of the Alex shoe in jet black is the perfect footwear for black-tie events.
Mr Bond would not look out of place in our Italian two-piece tuxedo, hand-tailored to the highest craftsmanship to create an exquisite fit. Add an Eton dress shirt for a modern and unfussy look. It’s also crease-free cotton – how to look stylish even after a brawl with the baddies! Almost as important as his martini, a beautiful black silk bow tie finishes this sophisticated look. It goes without saying that the tie looks just as good rakishly undone on Mr Bond.
The wait is over. Bond is back on our screens in the much-anticipated twenty-fourth spy epic ‘No Time to Die’.In the movie, the secret agent’s sartorial prowess steals the show, whether suited and booted, ice-cool and casual or wearing the look most synonymous with Bond – a sharp suited tuxedo teamed with the ultimate accessory – a vodka martini (shaken not stirred of course). Our style spies here at Robert Old have got a tip-off. We’re thrilled to see famous UK footwear manufacturer Crockett & Jones is again helping Mr Bond put his best foot forward.
