As Seen On Screen: Kill Your Friends

Some time ago, we lent some pieces from Peter Werth’s collection to stylists working on a dark comedy/crime thriller which was being made called Kill Your Friends.

Directed by Owen Harris, with a script written by John Niven based on his own written 2008 novel of the same name, the film launched last week. The lead character, Steven Stelfox (played by long time Peter Werth fan Nicholas Hoult) is wearing our stuff all the way through the film. Not only that, one of our Corozon topcoats and a pair of our Statham snaffle loafers feature on all of the posters for the film.

Above: Nicholas Hoult wears a light version of our Rogers Bomber. Also available in Navy. Shop it online here – £119. 

Here’s a bit of blurb about the film: London, 1997; the British music industry is on a winning streak. Britpop bands Blur, Oasis, The Verve rule the airwaves and Cool Britannia is in full swing. Twenty-seven-year-old A&R man Steven Stelfox (Nicholas Hoult) is slashing and burning his way through the music business, a world where ‘no one knows anything’ and where careers are made and broken by chance and the fickle tastes of the general public. Fuelled by greed, ambition and inhuman quantities of drugs, Stelfox lives the dream, as he searches for his next hit record. But as the hits dry up and the industry begins to change, Stelfox takes the concept of “killer tunes” to a murderous new level in a desperate attempt to salvage his career.

Stay Dry In Style: How To Wear Raincoats

Channel your inner Bogart, Hockney or Gainsbourg with Peter Werth’s twist on one of the most enduring pieces of men’s outerwear. Sleek, simple and functional – make it your go to style this Autumn.

Perhaps it’s the classic shape or timeless appeal, but there’s something so effortlessly stylish about a raincoat. There’s nothing better in a man’s wardrobe for riding out the storm through the rainy days on Autumn – and every other season, for that matter.

Twyford End on End Raincoat in Grey, £149

According to a piece written in the The Encyclopedia of Clothing and Fashion: “Basic styles of raincoats have changed little since World War II, but raincoats for both men and women started being offered in a wide range of colors, in contrast to the older tans and grays that once were the only colors available.”

Tartan Twyford Raincoat, £159. 

Although men and women in the early twenty-first century rely on cars, trains, and buses to protect them on the way to work (and the classic versions remain a business overcoat) the raincoat remains as popular a form of protection from the rain as it was when it was first conceived.

A decent piece of outerwear should form the cornerstone of any Autumn look. Characterised by a sophisticated use of fabrics and textures, our versatile collection of Twyford cold weather raincoat styles will shield you from the cold while conveying a relaxed confidence and timeless style. No wonder it has become one of our best selling styles.
