Cornelius London Collection
A match made in hunting heaven
Cornelius London is set for launch for the 2019 Autumn/Winter period. The line will be exclusively in-store and a corner of the Nancke shop will be transformed to give the full Cornelius London experience. “The word ‘luxury’ has become quite abused in the market,” Van Rooyen explains. “We’re putting some integrity back into it. Our line offers pieces people can really, truly be proud to own. Pieces that are made to last while they leave a lasting impression.” Venture to the Nancke Jagtliv shop in the charming town of Gentofte, Denmark and experience luxury with integrity for yourself.
"We will pleasantly surprise the customer by how we will style the whole collection together. It really tells a story."

The
"Edwardian"
If I had only one garment when hunting,
it would be a shooting coat.
It has all the elements for an outdoor lifestyle:
fully water-proofed with bellows pockets
for cartridges and hand-warmers.
The Herringbone
Herringbone and Hobnail weaves are the epitome of English tradition.
The
Tattersall
Tattersall is all about coordination. It gives you the opportunity to create a subtle theme through your whole look.
The
Gingham
Gingham actually creates the ‘prep’ look. It looks modern but it has such heritage. I think it is incredibly stylish.
The
Tecnical Merino
When you go on an English shoot, there is a dress code. A beautiful knit is included in that code. It’s just smarter and keeps you warm.
The Lambswools
You are in the elements.
You’d be wise to wear
something warm.
The Cable Cashmeres
Knits are perfect
for diversity in the seasons.
Pair it with only a shooting vest
or underneath a jacket
in colder months.
The
Corduroys
Corduroy is durable, warm and very strong – all qualities of good hunting material. And, perhaps, of a good hunter as well.
The
Corduroy Breeks
I simply love the texture of corduroy
The
Moleskin
Trousers
I wear my moleskins with my tweeds
to get a play on colours
and textures.
It lets people know you know
what you’re doing.
The
Moleskin
Breeks
Breeks are a staple
of traditional English hunting attire.
They were designed specifically
for the hunt and are both incredibly comfortable
and seriously practical.
The
Cartridge Bag
A cartridge bag in bridle hide
is a sight I will simply never tire of.
It shows true craftsmanship in English leather work.
The
Pewter Flask
Drink responsively
The
Silk Hankie
When I see a man with a pocket handkerchief, I get the sense that he knows what he wants. It is the meeting of style and confidence.
The
Silk Tie
If a man shoots pheasants, he will wear a pheasant tie.
It is the way hunter’s pay homage
to the game they love.
The
Calfskin Shooting Gloves
A leather shooting glove is a stylish nod to the sophistication and heritage of the hunt.
"Nature conservation as hunters is key – we all adhere to that"
