MR PORTER x The Elder Statesman: Californian Knitwear Gets the Luxury Treatment

MR PORTER and Los Angeles-based label The Elder Statesman have joined forces for an exclusive capsule collection that blurs the lines between elevated comfort and West Coast ease. If you’ve ever wanted your off-duty look to channel laid-back Malibu energy with the craftsmanship of cashmere, now’s your chance.

Known for its kaleidoscopic palette and handcrafted approach to knitwear, The Elder Statesman brings a certain nonchalance to the idea of luxury. The new 18-piece menswear capsule doesn’t veer far from that ethos. Think bold colour, relaxed silhouettes, and just enough irreverence to keep things interesting.

Highlights include a pair of azure-blue sweats that feel equally at home on a long-haul flight or post-swim in Big Sur, and palm-tree printed sweatshirts that toe the line between nostalgic and subversively cool. For those after something a little more refined, the sage green checked ensemble offers a modern spin on co-ords — understated, but still distinctive.

There’s a confidence to The Elder Statesman’s pieces that sits perfectly within MR PORTER’s curated offering. While the collection nods to coastal living, this isn’t beachwear. It’s polished loungewear for the man who values fabric, fit, and the kind of detailing you only notice after a few wears.

Out now, exclusively on MR PORTER, this capsule doesn’t chase trends. It sets a new standard for off-duty style — one that’s relaxed, refined, and unmistakably Californian. Consider it your sartorial shortcut to West Coast cool, no boarding pass required.
