There's a whole host of brands I missed out on because I was born too late, or spent too much of my formative clothing obsession addled years pretending I was Glasgow's answer to Danny Dyer. X-Large falls into the former category. It sits alongside the likes of PERVERT and Pegleg ...

These look thoroughly un-Converse, but great nonetheless. The Converse Auckland Racer was first released in the 1970s in commemoration of Arthur Lydiard who first kicked of the jogging craze in Auckland, Australia some ten years earlier. Jogging was actually invented in order to stop middle aged businessmen from becoming fat. ...

We get inundated with a lot of new brands wanting us to push their product. It can, at times, feel like an endless myriad of bland button downs and terrible graphic tees. Every once in a while, however, a relatively small brand will catch our eye. That's not to say ...

YES! These are so good. Hold them for me Size? because these are my summer beaters. Bet that question mark in the last sentence really threw you off, but who gives a fuck about punctuation, these are pale blue, suede Wallabees. Do you know how happy these make me? A ...

In a somewhat bizarre choice, my recent fixation for my borderline addictive personality has been shoulder construction on jackets. No, seriously. It was an idea, or a realisation rather, that beyond raglan and inset sleeves, there isn’t much else. After mulling it over with one of Britain’s brightest young designers ...

I like Arc'teryx. With the exception of what looks like a complete futile apostrophe in their name, they're a cool brand. What's more, they do cool PR stuff which doesn't try too hard to sell you stuff. I like that because I have no problem being a huge consumer cog ...

I'm blogging from my back garden 'cause its sunny. I don't think I've done this in over a year. You know what I'm wearing on my feet to celebrate this glorious day before it starts raining again tomorrow? Veras. My feet have never been so un-sweaty. These artisan-crafted mesh espadrilles ...

These carry most of the aesthetic qualities of the much-acclaimed Flyknits, except you won’t have to live off tins of beans for the following month after purchasing them. In fact, I’d go as far to say that I actually prefer them to Flyknits; the shape looks a tad more robust ...

Now this is a fucking lookbook, people. It has scenery, weathered models and jackets worn in thoroughly unpractical ways. They have absolutely nailed the styling trinity of moodiness, scenes and garbs. Good job Proper Mag, you’re looking very dapper these days. These shots have actually been released to coincide with ...

Featuring DAIS Boutique has been a long time coming, almost five months actually, because I’m an idiot and forgot to check our Facebook mail. We actually met through a mutual, curly haired, 9 fingered friend of ours who told me I should check them out. The Huddersfield based retailer is ...

Legwear (damn, I hate that word, but I need an all encompassing term for jeans, shorts and trousers so legwear it is) doesn’t get even half the coverage on here that footwear and outerwear gets. Why? Because let’s be honest, trousers are a bit boring. If all clothes are pretty ...

The Moving Development once again comes correct with some more top notch garms and another great lookbook. I know it's a cliché to say that brands don't subscribe to trends, but TMD genuinely keep it simple and consistent without fair. Mixing vintage Americana with streetwear nuances, their spring/summer 13 offering exhibits ...

I'll level with you, there's a lot of Clothsurgeon garments that I simply wouldn't wear. Furthermore, I'm not particularly enamoured by the trend of producing every possible style of clothing in leather. I guess it's because that certain aesthetic is rarely done well. That said, as a businessman, a craftsman ...

Urban Industry is 10 years old; that's at least 40 in shop years. To celebrate the onslaught of their mid-life crisis they have dropped this collaboration tee with Canadian apparel dudes Muttonhead. They've also divorced their wife for a 22 year old and bought a Mercedes, but that doesn't fit ...

Remember last summer when all you British (I don't include myself, I'm a citizen of the world or something like that) started pretending you were all really into cycling because you won some race thingy in France? Yeah, you thought we'd forgot about that and were going to let it ...
