Amidst capital-H Heritage’s brooding, manly-man lookbooks and too serious selfies, The Hill-Side is a bright, vibrantly patterned reminder that dressing can – and should be – fun. As anyone who owns one of the co.’s US-made ties, scarves or pocket squares can attest, H-S has a way of imbuing a sense of playfulness in their…
