Official Roses x Care of Carl- Become a sustainable fashion role model

Most of us have inherited garments or accessories from older siblings, parents, grandparents or other relatives. Some of them we liked and others we didn’t because they were probably forced upon us. However, there is something special about wearing elegant garments that were previously worn by someone you love or accessories used by someone you look up to. A necessity for us to enjoy the inherited pieces (apart from the visual look obviously) is the quality. If you invest in high quality products with timeless elegant designs, they will easily look as good now as for the younger generation when you sooner or later pass it onto them and you serve the climate a favour as well. Therefore, this fourth part of our series of articles with Care of Carl features just that; quality garments and accessories with timeless elegant designs that are as much for you as they are for the next generation. So, we encourage you to invest in both yourself and the next generation and become a sustainable fashion role model!

Garments

The double-breasted coat is always a key piece for the colder seasons. With the right cut, model, colour and quality, your coat (and indirectly your sense for fashion) can be passed on to several generations to come.

Although shoes are perhaps less “inheritable” than other outerwear in general, we feel confident that at least one lucky member of your family will feel comfortable and enjoy wearing your well-sewn shoes made from the finest leather there is.

A timeless well-cut quality suit, or just the blazer for that matter, in marin colors needs no further explanation really. The pieces are just a must to have and will always be elegant looks.

From originally keeping English soldiers dry during rainy and raw weather during World War I, the trenchcoat is now an obvious piece for all of us who want to stay dry yet handsome in the rain. We can’t imagine that the trenchcoat won’t serve that purpose in the future, can you?

Gloves made from Peccary leather will age very well and are probably even more beautiful after a few years than when they are new. Peccary gloves are also almost perennial so it is an economical advantageous investment in relation to how many years they will keep your hands warm, making them a perfect gift to pass on to the younger generation. 

A solid knitted cardigan of high quality will age beautifully and will keep the younger generation warm in the future. If there would be a little wear around the elbows for example, don’t worry. Just put a piece of suede there and it will be a neat detail as well!

Accessories

The watch is perhaps the most often inherited accessory from a man's wardrobe. If you invest in a mechanical watch with a timeless design you can be sure that you will enjoy it as much as the successor. 

A pen often carries a special emotional value rather than being economical. If you treat your quality pen right, in the future perhaps it might be in the hands of a Nobel Prize-winning author, who knows?

A very underrated fashion detail as well a necessary one is the umbrella. An inherited umbrella can, apart from being a practical detail, also enhance your well-dressed look even further on those rainy days.
