Stetson 'Corral 4X Cowboy Hat' £349
This week’s standout menswear piece comes straight from the big screen — or rather, the latest Pepsi Max ‘Refresh the Game’ campaign, where David Beckham relives his now-iconic spaghetti western role from the legendary 2003 Pepsi ad.
Reviving the "Manchester United vs Real Madrid Wild West" penalty shootout spoof, Beckham dons none other than the Stetson 'Corral 4X Cowboy Hat' — a true nod to Americana heritage and timeless Western style.
Crafted from premium chocolate brown felt, the Corral 4X features a classic cattleman crease, a 4" brim, and a 4 5/8” oval crown. Traditional touches include a leather sweatband, satin lining, and a self-matching hat band finished with a silver-toned three-piece buckle set — all packaged in a signature Stetson hat box.
A style statement as much as a slice of cultural nostalgia, this piece blends old-school ruggedness with refined craftsmanship, earning it a spot in this week’s top menswear picks.

The Nanamica Utility Pants combine technical functionality with minimalist design. Featuring a wide, straight-cut silhouette, these pants offer a relaxed fit that prioritizes both style and comfort. The interior waist includes a drawcord for an adjustable fit, while a front zipper fly adds convenience.

Palace jacket £898
Palace doesn’t do subtle, and the Suede Appliqué Camo Jacket is no exception. Dropping as part of their Summer 2025 collection, this piece fuses a loud woodland camo print with premium suede overlays, bringing texture and visual heat to a classic streetwear staple. Think military jacket meets fashion-forward flex — unmistakably Palace in every way.
It’s cut with utility in mind: full zip front, adjustable cuffs, and roomy pockets. But it’s the suede detailing that steals the show — not just a nod to craftsmanship, but a slick play on elevation through contrast. This isn’t just for skating curbs; it’s built to be noticed.
That said, some in the community have raised eyebrows at the nearly £900 price tag. A few felt the jacket leans light for its cost, with a lack of lining and interior pockets that you’d typically expect at this tier. Still, that hasn’t stopped it from flying off shelves or becoming an instant hit among Palace loyalists and fashion collectors alike.
Bottom line? The Suede Appliqué Camo Jacket is a certified head-turner — bold, brash, and undeniably Palace. If you’re looking to make a statement this season, this jacket might just be your loudest flex.
