I’ve been at a vintage fair today. It’s only down the road, the weather was nice and it represented the ideal opportunity to look at lots of things…
A fifth birthday party usually involves lots of games, jelly and ice cream. Maybe an entertainer who you have to watch really carefully. When you’re not an actual…
It’s not easy being green, so sang that felt frog fella who used to inexplicably fancy a pig. These Wallabees are green though, and I’d easily wear them.…
Back when your Dad (ok, maybe your Grandad) was born, trainers were to be worn for sport and the comfort we take for granted today could only be…
Form follows function, apparently. Usually that means an uncompromising design which is built with a specific purpose in mind. This is 2016 though, and typically it’s the Danish…
The stubborn Stopfordian (that means I’m from Stockport) in me elected to wear a t-shirt today, even though it was pouring with rain. Ok, sure, I threw on…
I had to take my rain-sodden jeans off this morning and hang them up to dry. I was only in the open for about 7 minutes but that…
“Are you a red or are you a blue?” I get asked this a lot and it’s never not annoying. It’s usually taxi drivers in my hometown of…
I’m sitting here in the office this morning and it’s fair to say it’s not as warm as it looks outside. It takes a while for our part…
The difficult third album for the merry band behind Uniformes Generale looks like it wasn’t difficult at all. Now that we’ve finally got a smattering of sunshine, it’s…

Your Dad may don Dickies as he potters about his shed or cleans the gutters, but your work is probably of a different nature. As someone who grew…
A famous local once proclaimed that Manchester had everything except a beach. Let’s think about it for a moment. Everything? Absolutely everything? Debatable, but still, how good would…
Imagine if the 1990s proto-scally had somehow managed to alter his mind just enough to time travel around 50 years into the future. His haircut would remain the…
It’s getting to that time of the year where your light coloured trainers can safely negotiate the streets without becoming too dirty. I’m wearing light grey suede shoes…
I’m 37 you know. All me own teeth. It was all fields ’round here when I was growing up. None of your internet, mobile phones? Pah. So yeah,…
Show me someone who dislikes Battenwear and I’ll show you a big, smelly liar. It’s one of very few brands I look at and think “Yes, I could…
How do you pronounce “liquorice”? Do you say it all posh like ‘Likworiss’ or do you say it like a 1950s child would, as in ‘Lickerish’. My guess…
The future is always shaped by knowledge gained from experience. It’s unavoidable. When you’ve done good stuff in the past, it makes sense to revisit it. The latest…
Oi Polloi are firing blanks at us, this time from U.S stalwarts Champion. When I say blanks, I’m not talking about shit bullets or some sort of procreation-based…
