Having grown up in the area, it's fair to say Max broadened his horizons before returning to Sussex to settle into his career, having lived in both Brazil and Thailand. Describing his style as casual with a splash of formal, he's partial to an NYC thrift shop to find unique and characterful pieces to add to his wardrobe. Taking sartorial influences from friends and family (understandably) rather than specific style icons, Max enthuses over his newest love: “I've got really into drawstrings trousers of late… I'm a massive drawstring trouser aficionado!”.

Here Max wears a 100% British wool navy shawl cardigan over a blue Viyella wool and cotton shirt to keep out the coastal chills whilst remaining sharp (Pip won't stand for sloppy dressing). Extra warmth and smart-casual steering are provided by a Vedoneire plain white T-shirt. Max has chosen a sand corduroy variant from his cherished drawstring pants armoury, with a favorite Peter Christian cap that is no longer available (apologies if it caught your eye. You could always make Max an offer via postcard to PC HQ).
