HEATTECH Crew Neck T-Shirt (Short Sleeve)

This is the original thermal base layer and an indispensable piece for the cooler months, available for £14.90. It boasts a fabric designed to generate and retain heat from your body’s moisture, providing warmth without unwanted bulk beneath your outer layers. The jersey material feels incredibly soft against the skin and includes anti odour properties.

HEATTECH Extra Warm Cotton Crew Neck T-Shirt (Long Sleeve)

A brilliant new option priced at £19.90. This base layer offers approximately 1.5 times the warmth of the regular HEATTECH. Crucially, it features 100% cotton on the inside for enhanced comfort against the skin, while the exterior is a fluffy yarn with Ultra Stretch technology. This is ideal for cold conditions and those who prefer the feel of natural fibres.

HEATTECH Ultra Warm Crew Neck T-Shirt (Long Sleeve)

When the weather turns seriously cold, you need to upgrade, and this top, priced at £24.90, offers 2.25 times the warmth of the original HEATTECH. Designed for extremely chilly conditions, it features a special, thicker knit with a longer brushed finish to trap significantly more air.

Seamless Down Jacket

Priced at £129.90, the Seamless Down Jacket is a serious piece of outerwear. It uses high quality down with a fill power of 750+, making it exceptionally lightweight yet incredibly insulating. The exterior fabric is windproof and treated with a durable water repellent finish. The seamless design prevents cold air from sneaking in and eliminates the worry of feathers escaping.

Utility Overshirt

Currently on sale for £24.90 (down from £34.90), this overshirt is a perfect mid layer. Constructed from a crisp cotton/nylon twill fabric, it features practical design details like a front yoke flap to keep pocket contents secure. The fit is intentionally oversized and relaxed, making it excellent for layering.

Twill Oversized Shirt (Check)

This checked shirt is currently on sale for £24.90 (originally £34.90). It is constructed from a blend of polyester and rayon, giving the material a warm, elegant brushed texture. The design is inspired by workwear, featuring a relaxed, oversized silhouette and practical detailing.

Corduroy Utility Trousers

These trousers currently sell for a remarkable £29.90, marked down from £39.90, making them an immediate must buy. Crafted from a cotton corduroy fabric, they offer a comforting stretch and a genuinely soft texture. The design leans heavily into practicality, featuring an elasticated waist with both belt loops and a drawstring. Furthermore, strings at the hem allow the wearer to cinch the bottom for a modern, tapered finish. The brown colourway provides excellent depth and grounding for any winter jumper.

Corduroy Work Trousers

A superb offering from the JW Anderson collaboration, the Corduroy Work Trousers retail for £39.90. The garment is constructed from a fine wale corduroy and immediately calls to mind classic workwear, evidenced by the practical baker style patch pockets situated at the front. The cut follows a wide, tapered line, creating an elegant curve from the hip down to the ankle.

Brushed Sweat Wide Trousers

For those who prioritise comfort without sacrificing style, these trousers from the UNIQLO U collection cost £34.90. They are constructed from a notably thick and durable fabric that boasts a delightfully soft brushed finish on both the inside and out. The Dark Grey heathered colour appears sophisticated and pairs excellently with most winter palettes.

HEATTECH Lined Hat

This essential accessory is on sale for £19.90 (originally £24.90). This padded hat is crafted from a water repellent cotton/nylon fabric and features a soft HEATTECH lining to generate and retain heat. The unisex design includes practical ear flaps that can be folded inward when not needed.

HEATTECH Ribbed Beanie

Available for £14.90, this classic beanie is made with HEATTECH fabric with Heat of Absorption technology for lightweight warmth. The marled yarn gives it a textured, visually appealing look, perfect for adding a subtle pop of colour or dimension to a solid coat.

HEATTECH Scarf

This scarf, priced at £19.90, is an excellent way to introduce a classic pattern while benefiting from high tech warmth. It is made with fine wool for a natural, non itchy feel and a premium fabric that resists pilling. Crucially, it uses HEATTECH with Heat of Absorption technology for lightweight warmth.
