Esquire UK’s blog digs into their closet for a look at five of their favorite “chunky knit sweaters for the Winter. They are indeed fine picks but I personally would have rather seen five true brands rather than doubling up on the Banana Republic offering. The Gantuk by GANT knit is a wonderful standout from the set.

Mainstream magazines tend to err on the side of caution at the best of times and with circulation falling across the board, most magazines are sticking to things they already know. So it’s nice to see that the UK edition of Esquire has attempted something different, if not entirely new, with this hardback issue.

The issue itself is a september suit issue and it interviews Vincent Cassel (who’s married to Monica Bellucci – not that we’re jealous or anything) and Quentin Tarantino amongst other suit related things. As you’d expect for an issue like this, it’s limited edition. And not the ‘you can only buy it in 2000 stores’ type of limited edition either. We mean that unless you can walk into a shop – or know someone nice enough walk into a shop for you – you’re out of luck.
