Another year, another dollar. We’ve left the site well alone over Christmas but now we’re back, quite typically writing about dead nice parkas and that. Publish is a…
Lazy post-Christmas reblogging is where I’m at right now and I don’t give a festive fig what you think of that. These shots of the soon-to-be-available-in-a-dead-good-shop-near-you Engineered Garments…
Once again, it’s nice to break up the bitesize product posts with something of substance. Following on from the recent post about Bob’s involvement with Nike ACG via…
It’s a weird time of year for buying stuff. It’s like roulette or something. Do you step in and grab something at full price, just in case it…
Hmm, Garbstore. It’s the brand One True Saxon might have been, but we’re glad it isn’t. Ian Paley spend months out of the country working with all sorts…
Overtones of Fargo, undertones of Italian tourists mooching about near Harrods, and just tones of, well, blue. This is as good as it gets down wise. It won’t…
We’ve never done a post on a torch before have we? I can’t be bothered checking. We have now. Whether you’re making tentative plans to go camping when…
I’m not sure about bobble hats, me. I love how they look, but not so how they look on me. They’re on a list, in a file, in…
Why do all people from Bolton insist on being funny? It’s like they’ve all been drinking Peter Kay’s blood/wee while he wasn’t looking. Now relocated to Bournemouth, Rig…
You can’t go far wrong with the shirts (and sweats) from Sweden’s Our Legacy. As is well documented on here, their great sweat is a wardrobe staple at…
“The Double RL which doesn’t hit you in the pocket”, is how I’d best describe Ralph Lauren’s Denim and Supply range. It’s far from cheap, to be fair…
You might have noticed that all this earnest talk of colourways and shirting isn’t really our style on Proper. We’re a bit Northern, we routinely mix people who…
New year, new you? Aren’t we all a bit over the hill to pretend yet another 1st of January will herald a new improved version of ourselves? Sorry…
One of the first people we asked to do us a Favourite Five was our old chum David of Universal Works. Unfortunately, he’s been too busy travelling to…
“Mod Harris” sounds like a bit of an Ace Face. “I hear Mod Harris is gonna be at the disco tonight Charmaine” “Ooh I hope so, I’d love…
Off anywhere nice this Christmas? Perhaps to sunnier climes, or at least an Iberian getaway where the temperature is less harsh? Yeah, nice Juan. I’m not. While you’re…
Hands up if you’ve got more shoes than a marathon running centipede? I have. I’ve got more shoes than you could shake a stick at, though why anyone…
Abraham Moon sounds like the forefather of Eastenders landlord Alfie doesn’t he? Well he does to me anyway. Don’t pretend you don’t watch the soaps. Abraham and Alfie…
When our attention was first brought to the latest Alan Paine knitwear I made a terrible error. For someone who can’t write a sentence without a pun, I…
I like the colour blue. The band Blue (remember them?) can get knotted. But the colour is alright by me. It’s the colour my ailing football team wears.…
For me, it’s always been trainers, not sneakers. To the people who appreciate them most, Nike Air aren’t trainers they’re sneakers. And yet my obsessive streak which usually…
