Kestin: Scottish Heritage, Modern Menswear

Discover Kestin at Stuarts London, a Scottish brand that blends heritage, functionality and contemporary menswear. Founded by Kestin Hare, the brand draws inspiration from Scotland’s landscapes, sporting culture and rich textile history, creating clothing that feels rooted in tradition while remaining relevant to modern wardrobes. From outerwear and knitwear to shirts and trousers, each piece is designed with everyday versatility in mind.

Kestin’s story began in Edinburgh, where the brand was established with a focus on creating well-made clothing influenced by the designer’s Scottish upbringing. Its collections take cues from British outdoor, military and sporting clothing, reworking familiar styles through a more refined contemporary lens. This combination of Scottish heritage and modern design has become central to Kestin’s identity, with understated silhouettes and practical details running throughout its collections.

Outerwear remains a defining part of the Kestin collection, with styles inspired by classic field jackets, military uniforms and traditional outdoor clothing. Alongside jackets, the brand is known for its knitwear, overshirts, shirts and trousers, offering versatile staples that can be worn across the seasons. Garments such as the Balmoral Jacket and Fair Isle-inspired knitwear showcase Kestin’s ability to reinterpret recognisable British and Scottish influences for everyday wear.

Materials play an important role in the brand’s approach, with Kestin selecting quality fabrics for their feel, durability and practicality. Wool, cotton, corduroy, fleece and technical fabrics feature across its collections, often chosen to suit the demands of outdoor-inspired clothing. Natural textures and hard-wearing materials help give Kestin garments their distinctive character, while considered construction ensures they remain functional as well as stylish.

The result is a collection of modern menswear with a strong sense of place. Kestin takes familiar references from Scottish and British clothing and strips them back into wearable, contemporary pieces, balancing functionality with understated design. Whether it is a rugged outer layer, textured knit or everyday trouser, the emphasis remains on creating clothing that works beyond a single season.
