Urban Industry return with another of their mini-lookbooks, this time focussing on Penfield and in particular the Kasson jacket.
We have to take our titfers off to the witty chaps down at Duffer, for their latest photo- shoot they’ve done something of a British parody of the vintage preppy look..
Its all well and good being kitted out in the finest gear available to man but if you’re wearing a pair of Fred Flintstone boxers and a Primark vest underneath it all then quite frankly, you’re a dickhead. Its one thing looking good but feeling good is just as, if not more important..
Are we all sitting comfortably on our selvedge denim/vintage chino clad arses? Good then I’ll begin….
Good news for those of you on the look out for some luxury luggage to put all your beloved belongings in. One of our favourite American labels J.Panther are now shipping their wonderful hand-made wares worldwide.
Any mod/cool person worth their speed/salt should know all about the legendary artist Peter Blake and his impeccable works of (pop) art. The word ‘pop’ couldn’t be more apt for his particular brand of impressive album design, having worked on covers for the Beatles, The Who, Paul Weller and Oasis.
Following the recent opening of Oliver Spencer’s first shoe store, Oli continues to showcase a quintessentially English range…
Its always good to find out about a new label, especially when it comes from one of our favourite cities and looks as good (or should that be ‘grand’?) as this stuff. We’ve seen lots of highly respected designers featuring great accessories made from Irish materials of late so it’s really nice to see an actual Irish label at last..
The Connoisseur brand is a progressive, homegrown brand. They’re also very good friends of ours. Born out of the 1990s casual scene, they initially built up quite a following…
As previously documented on here when I sit back and recall certain stations of my semi-eventful life, there’s always an epic sound-track to accompany these haunting and vivid…
How chuffed are we? Our good friend Mr Cabourn has just given us an exclusive sneak preview of some of his smashing pieces from his forthcoming Autumn/Winter collection…
From beardy cave-men daubing their family albums using burnt sticks on cave walls to beardy geeks dicking around with iphone apps, it seems that portraiture has been a consistent pastime of the homo-sapien artist (as has facial hair).
From midnight tonight you’ll be able to pre-order from the very impressive Barbour Tokihito AW11 range via Number Six shop.
Beautiful motorbikes, Arlo Guthrie singing and some seriously fine denim. Could this film be any cooler?
Long-time friend of Proper and dead good record player man Rob Hyde aka Honk aka Bobby Chips has done a rather splendid mix of fantastic tunes for our mates over at Test Pressing.
Our mates at Street Casuals have just knocked up a great look-book featuring their latest haul of Summery gear, so to be in with the chance of winning this rather ace Penfield Sconset jacket in grey blue denim….
Bought a flat, got married, turned 30, joined the Campaign for Real Ale and became addicted to Countryfile – there is no escaping from the fact my life has gone all grown up. The times, “they are a changing” (see I’ve even started listening to Bob Dylan) the transition has also been reflected in my appearance. The wardrobe consists of more shoes not trainers, knitwear not sportswear, durable wax coats not sports jackets FFS I’ve even started wearing bobble hats.
OK it’s that time of year when the sun is out and you want to enjoy some cool wind in your hair and perhaps the warm smell of colitas, whatever the fuck they are? And what better way to emulate Don Henley by getting a nice white, medium weight, 100% cotton t-shirt to wear whilst sipping your pink champagne on ice?
Just like a (well dressed, vintage 1950s) bus, we don’t have a competition on here for ages then two turn up at once. Anyway, dodgy metaphors aside, this week those suave Bolognans at 12th Man have given us three amazing prizes to be won, all of which are ideal garments for the forthcoming summer months …
OK as spring is officially here, there’s never been a better time to hang your festering denims up and get a nice bit of colour on your legs. No we’re not talking about six minutes on the electric beach, we’re talking about winning a pair of Tuk-Tuk’s ace new chinos…
