The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2022 - Issue 32

bitemen Images courtesy of L’Estrange London Wool, named the ‘unexpected warm weather hero’, is renowned for keeping us warm when the temperature drops, but L’Estrange’s extra-fine tropical merino does the opposite. Its open-structured ‘crepe’ weave is engineered to let the air circulate freely between the fibres, making it lightweight and breathable for the summer months. Concepts, a limited run of experimental garments, explore new ways we approach materials, construction and design without overproducing. The Tech 24 Overshirt and 24 Trouser in limited navy or slate grey are made with PFC-free (Perfluorinated Com- pounds) and water-repellent Nanilica™ coating that protects the wearer against unpredictable weather. “Simple, timeless and mul- ti-functional, they work as well on the bike as they do off it.” The brand’s natural stretch merino wool is the source of this col- lection, with the signature 24 Trouser Wool in charcoal, navy, black or limited edition charcoal and mid-grey, accompanied by the 24 Blazer Wool in charcoal and navy. The Easy Zip Merino in navy, charcoal and black takes luxury to a new level with its comfortable and competent warmth, softness and wear. The light- weight, silky smooth and crease-resistant All Day Shirt Merino Collared or Collarless in navy or light blue adds to the collection. New to the Merino Wool collection is Hydrowool Bomber Jacket that perfectly marries a technical component with comfort and luxury. It’s made from a merino wool shell, fully lined for a lux- urious feel, has fully modular, and clips seamlessly (thanks to a popper design on the neck) with their outwear pieces in the series. It also features a hidden waterproof membrane for water repellent proof and is perfect for the urban dweller seeking a stylish perfor- mance shell. L'Estrange apparel is available online and at their Covent Garden, Spitalfields and The Royal Exchange stores. https://lestrangelondon.com
