It's a mystery why hiking breeches ever fell out of fashion, because they're incredibly practical. Coming down to just below the knee, they’re breathable, flexible, and you don't get flappy trouser-ends with a tide-mark of mud climbing up your inside leg. They work well with gaiters and wellies, and if you feel a bit warm, you can just let your socks down and expose a bit of calf. If you're knickerbocker-curious, then these great-looking Concords from Amundsen are the place to start. Made in velvety stretch cotton corduroy with a water-resistant treatment, the knees are articulated for maximum comfort – and feature a special system for attaching gaiters. Zipped hip pockets keep your valuables safe, and there's a useful leg pocket for your map. The cut is slim and flattering, and the vibe is definitely more rugged vintage Alpinist than Bertie Wooster on a pheasant shoot.

Amundsen clothing is named after one of the greatest explorers ever to walk the Earth. No pressure there then. In fact, the company’s co-founder, Jørgen Amundsen, is a relative of the legendary man himself, and the brand’s designs are based on classic styles from the golden age of exploration. Throw in a generous dash of 1960s Nordic ski resort chic and you’ve got a unique range of good-looking kit that’ll get you noticed in all the right ways.
However, there’s nothing old-fashioned about the way Amundsen’s gear performs. Ruggedly built from merino wool and waterproof triple-layer cotton, these are serious expedition-grade garments built for a Scandi outdoor culture – a concept that the Norwegians call ‘friluftsliv’, or ‘open-air life’. It’s the idea that time spent enjoying the freedom of the outdoors should be a core part of your life, since it enhances just about everything else. Now that’s something we can all get on board with.
