Whilst we wouldn’t recommend jumping out of a plane with one of these great looking bags they are the perfect accompaniment for anyone hopping on or off one. Chapman has taken the classic WW2 Paratroop Haversack design and updated it for those of us more used to the conventional way of exiting an aircraft.
As this site is all about recommending stuff that we love, we thought we’d share with you the Spring Summer 12 look-book from one of our favourite brands, Edwin.
Having taken delivery of one of the finest pairs of trainers I have owned in recent years, I felt compelled to look into the name and history behind this enigmatic trainer, namely the Nike ‘Pre’ Montreal Racer.

Anyway you know the drill, Manc luxury Yacht-wear legends Henri Lloyd, renowned for keeping solo-navigators, paninaros and ticket touts the world over bone dry and looking good, have released the latest version of their much-coveted & copied ‘Viking’ smock.
Given our unpredictable climate and chaotic lifestyles it’s often difficult to decide whether to put on a pair of ‘proper’ functional hiking boots or a pair of ‘proper’ shoes whilst pondering each days outfit (if you don’t go through this daily ritual then please stop reading immediately).
How cool does this look? An evening of dirt track mayhem featuring vintage speedway racing, live bands, DJs and the UK’s first CHOPPER DIRT TRACK RACE!

I know it’s getting pretty icy out there at the mo but do we really need an excuse to show you some fantastic looking, beautifully put together, American hiking boots?
OK, we’re half way into January, how’s your new year’s resolution going? To be honest this is the worst time to be giving up booze/fags/pasties/crack isn’t it?
Right then, lets forget we’re all skint and on tablets just for a bit whilst we listen to Proper Magazine’s favourite top ten Christmas tunes. Most of these festive bangers…
If you’ve recently visited a Barbour store, you may have noticed that they’re displaying some rather ace festive images of Raymond Briggs’ realistically grumpy Father Christmas be-decked in…
