Pioneer Stories: Charley Boorman - Adventure, Friendship and the Open Road

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.

The annual Gambler 500 O.G. in central Oregon was wonderfully strange to behold. An absurdly dusty, drenchingly sweaty, dystopian fever dream- like Mad Max meets Burning Man—but at its core, it’s an easygoing group of a few thousand goodhearted people having wonderfully pointless fun in hilariously horrendous cars.

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.

I was sitting on the concrete floor of an old California desert farmhouse, watching through a window as Joshua trees danced in the high winds under the light of a full cream moon, when a sudden and nauseating pain shot through my left ankle.

With trembling hands, I slowly rolled up my pant leg and saw that my ankle was swollen and discolored. The elastic ribbing on my socks was stained with blood and pus that had trickled down from two festering puncture wounds, where it appeared a rattlesnake had sunk its fangs into my skin.

This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the women who inspired our most iconic pieces, their stories stitched into every seam, their legacy woven into every thread.

A shirt like this isn’t just something you wear. It’s something you live in, through every adventure. And like any great artefact, it deserves the kind of care that ensures it lasts for generations to come.

Not all love stories begin with candlelight and grand gestures. Some start with a well-worn jacket, a perfectly faded shirt, and the unmistakable feeling of finding something that just fits.

Dressing up doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort or overthinking it. It’s about upgrading your everyday style, making you feel like the best version of yourself. We’ve got four simple, effortless outfits for whatever your plans may be.

We had the privilege of sitting down with British artist Ed Stanford, the artist behind the hand-painted details of the Night FLY-R jacket. This jacket, which launched the much-anticipated Rogue Collection, marked a pivotal moment for both Ed and &SONS.

Here’s how to keep your leather jacket looking its best...

Winter is here, and whether you’re carving down fresh powder, trekking through snowy trails, or unwinding by the fire, layering is the key to staying comfortable and stylish. Our collection is inspired by the nostalgia of old-school ski days, blending practical fabrics with retro charm. Here's how to layer like a pro this ski season, with outfits designed for every mountain moment.

At &SONS, we believe in movement—not just physically, but mentally too. It’s about staying active, setting realistic goals, and embracing the everyday as a chance to get ahead of the January blues. 

As the year comes to a close, we take a moment to reflect on what has been an extraordinary year for &SONS. Here’s a look at everything we’ve achieved this year...
