Looking for a gift for the man who has everything? To us, that sounds like a challenge. From luxury gifts for the home to jewellery and watches, hats to socks and shoes, showstoppers to smaller gestures and accessories, at MR PORTER, you sure to find something to impress the big guy come the big day. But of course we know our way around cashmere knitwear. And while high-end items are our bread and butter, we have pieces at different price points – and last-minute gifts, too.

From tastemakers in Tokyo to creatives in Copenhagen and designers in Dallas, this new series of short films looks at how remarkable men live, work and dress. Basically, we’re sharing the style secrets of men who live well. For episode one, we visit creative entrepreneur Francesco Ragazzi in Milan. The former artistic director of Moncler and the founder of Palm Angels, Ragazzi is now the man behind Réservation Parfums, a creative fragrance brand that plays with the concept of an exclusive – and entirely imaginary – luxury hotel in California.

You could say that the director Martin McDonagh has found his niche. His latest film, Wild Horse Nine – the follow up to 2022’s award-winning The Banshees Of Inisherin – centres on two squabbling middle-aged men on a remote island. Only here, swap Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson on a fictional oileán during the Irish Civil War for Sam Rockwell and John Malkovich on the real Rapa Nui (Easter Island) just before Chile’s 1973 CIA-backed coup d’etat. (And a donkey for a horse.)

In truth, the link between this specific image and where the brand came from are all at sea. John Barbour established his business in South Shields in 1894, supplying oilskins to sailors and fishermen working in North Sea weather.
