In the heyday of British motor racing — think Goodwood in the golden light, Brooklands before the war, the sound of hand-tuned engines echoing down narrow country lanes — style was never secondary to substance. The men behind the wheels, the tools, and the timing sheets knew their craft inside out. They didn’t need to shout about it. And that’s exactly the sort of quiet confidence that inspired our Miles Overall.
Named in honour of Ken Miles, the unsung hero of British racing, this is a piece designed not for the pit lane’s flashbulbs but for the thoughtful moments in the garage before ignition. Miles was a man of method and mettle — an engineer, a racer, a perfectionist. We’d like to think he’d approve.
Cut from premium cotton, the Miles Overall takes its cues from late 19th-century workwear — a time when garments were built to endure, not to chase trends. Rugged, yes, but refined in the way only truly functional things can be. It’s a piece for those who appreciate thoughtful design: the pointed collar, front button fastening, and adjustable belt and cuffs offer a silhouette that’s as personal as it is practical.
And then there are the pockets — plentiful, purposeful, and perfectly placed across the chest, sides, and back. Because whether you're tuning a vintage engine, loading up tools for a weekend project, or simply reaching for your wallet and keys, what you wear should work with you — not against you.
It’s the kind of piece that wears effortlessly — equally at home in the workshop, on a city street, or behind the wheel of something vintage and well cared-for. A uniform, if you like, for the modern enthusiast: someone who values quality, tradition, and clothing that does exactly what it’s meant to — with style, and without fuss.
Much like the finest British racing machines, the Miles Overall isn’t here to shout. It’s here to do its job — brilliantly, quietly, and with a level of care that speaks volumes.
