Thinking of updating your winter wardrobe? Opt for a sweater. An all-round durable and timeless piece, it will accompany you for years to come. Finely crafted in Italy from recycled wool, this cosy crew-neck sweater by our in-house brand Mr P. will keep you toasty while the mercury’s dipped.

This classic thermal beanie by James Perse, a Californian brand that has mastered the art of luxury basics, is a winter essential worth the investment. Created from 100 per cent recycled cashmere, it won’t surge your carbon footprint and it looks as good as it feels.

An outdoors watch should be durable and low-maintenance and Timex has just the thing. This one is exclusive to MR PORTER and is solar-powered – so no need to stress about battery changes – and has a black stainless-steel case and recycled-fabric strap in khaki.

Bali-based brand Space Available uses plastic waste to make homeware and clothing, including last year’s limited-edition chair in collaboration with DJ Ms Peggy Gou. A good introduction to the brand is this repurposed steel and bamboo water bottle, which comes with a fun holder hand-woven from recycled plastic strips and an upcycled rope strap for when you’re on the go.

Last year, we came up with 10 small steps to help you make your wardrobe more sustainable. When we suggested you invest in classic items, we meant something such as a pair of Converse Chuck 70s. These magenta ones have are made from recycled canvas.

Outdoor adventures will feel all the more pleasant when you know your clothes (and equipment) aren’t harming your surroundings. This Epperson Mountaineering packable backpack might just be the lightest backpack you’ve ever owned (it’s made from 1.1oz recycled nylon-ripstop), but it’s also been treated with a durable water-repellent coating to keep the elements at bay.

Socks are just about the most disposable item in a man’s wardrobe. We’ve heard a top drawer edit is due at least once every year, so it’s only right we make a conscious-minded effort when sprucing up our collection. Thunders Love produces its socks, including this bright red pair, in small runs on vintage machines and uses recycled materials, which won’t make you feel guilty about updating your rotation.

What’s better than a rug that doubles up as a work of art? Part of our Small World collection, this one by rrres has been made by Mexican artisans using fine materials and centuries-old techniques.

We’re often told that drinking plenty of H2O does wonders for our complexion and general health, but it can be a bit boring. This hand-blown R+D.LAB carafe and glass set will make the task of topping up your levels that little bit more pleasurable – and it’s much better for Mother Earth than plastic.

All the salty food and copious amounts of booze at this time of year do your complexion no favours. Tata Harper has a squeaky-clean solution in the form of this regenerating cleanser, which contains only natural ingredients – 80 per cent of which are organic – and is free from chemical nasties.

An artisanal, folksy bracelet looks the part on any man’s wrist and Santa Fe-based jewellery label Peyote Bird has some of the best around. This example, crafted from silver and pyrite, like all its pieces, is made in California by local artisans who champion silver smithing and gem-setting techniques inspired by the region’s indigenous people.

When we’re all being encouraged to turn off lights when we leave a room and pull on an extra layer instead of dialling up the thermostat, this super cosy Auralee jacket is a considered investment that will last for years. Made from a fleecy, wool-rich blend, it’ll be a stylish and tactile antidote to any Arctic weather fronts that come this way.

Given Laboratory Perfumes’ impressive tick list of virtues – sustainably sourced packaging, non-toxic ingredients – you’d be forgiven for wondering whether its fragrances were up to scratch in the olfactory department. Rest assured. Its Samphire candle delivers a delicious, seashore-scented punch, thanks to a harmonious blend of verbena, juniper, oak moss and amber.

For a thoughtfully niche housewarming gift to win over the well-travelled host, try this artistically splattered, undeniably joyful serving tray for size. As with all of BORNN’s enamelware, it’s handcrafted in Istanbul using traditional techniques (in this case, fusing, glazing and kiln firing) and, best of all, belies its pleasingly lightweight price tag.

The “t.d” in NOMA t.d. stands for “textile design”, but the creative brains behind the brand aren’t afraid to try other mediums. For its foray into the world of ceramics, for example, it has tapped the expertise and handiwork of a local Japanese kiln collective and birthed this exquisite earth-toned vase in the process.

Tokyo-based design store SyuRo finds itself among a considered edit of homegrown, artisanal brands spotlighted by curator By Japan. How its glazed ceramic bowls are best deployed in your own home – mantelpiece ornament, minimal vide poche, impossibly chic vessel for your morning cornflakes – is a decision we’ll defer to you.

The hotly anticipated (if somewhat surprising) collaboration between streetwear-inspired New York label Public School and bastion of old-world European craftsmanship Montblanc could have gone in any direction. Thankfully, the route travelled was one of sustainable luxury, including this Econyl belt bag in both brands’ go-to hue.

We all know that Sir Paul Smith likes to cycle. Only a childhood accident curtailed his ambitions of riding professionally, but cycling’s loss is very much style’s gain. Recycling, however? These swim shorts, complete with a bright botanical print, will look the part on any beach and, indeed, Instagram feed. And cut from 50 per cent reused materials, they’re contributing to cleaning up said beach, too.

This vest by Faherty is a winner on two fronts. Made from organic denim and recycled fleece, it is perfect for the unexpected weather to come. And, unlike our impact of climate change on the Earth, ahem, it is easily reversible.

Could there be any more repeated show than Friends? As far as 1990s reruns go, these jeans by FRAME are more our thing. The straight-leg cut comes straight out of three decades ago, while, as the patch on the knee suggests, the material in use here was salvaged from off-cuts. Much like our gag about Friends.
