Beards are more popular than ever and if your lucky enough to be able to grow one we have made a 4 step guide to help you along the way. We have also pilfered some videos from the Beard Baron to make it even easier for you. 1. Get the right style Beards suit most people unless like me your unable to grow anything more than patchy stubble. For a rounder face try to get a linear beard which will give you definition and a longer face can be balanced out with a fuller thick beard. Best thing is usually to play around with it until you find what suits. 2. Cleaning You should treat your beard the same way you treat the hair on your head which means shampooing and conditioning it. It will keep the hair healthy and stop you from looking like a broom. 3. Beard Oil / Products  If you want to get your beard looking extra fly you can use a beard oil which will soften up the hair. We stock D.R Harris beard oil instore. 4.  Grooming It's a lot of work and commitment to ...

The sun is out which means we all want to get our finest sneakers out and look fresh but then have to deal with the inevitable fact that they will likely get destroyed within 20 minutes while avoiding anyone with a drink and clumsy feet. Well not any more, being the good guys that we are we have made an easy 4 step guide which means your shoes will never look anything less than box fresh. 1. Prevention  With everything prevention is better than the cure and its no different with shoes. So its probably best to avoid those all white Janoskis when it's pissing it down or if your heading to some claty Glasgow club. A great product to use is Crep protect which is a spray that creates an invisible layer on your shoes which repels liquids and prevents stains. The product works on suede, nubuck, leather and canvas and is simple to use. Take a look at this video attached to see how it works: 2.

Summer is finally upon us so it's the perfect time to get to a park/roof/anywhere with sun and have a BBQ and the guys at Carhartt have created the perfect product for it. The BBQ not only looks fly with its stainless steal and Carhartt branding it is also surprisingly easy to use and assemble making you look like more of a pro than you really are. The grill can hold four burgers and you don't need to carry big bags of coal with this as a few bits of charcoal will do, making it a lot handier when the BBQ is spontaneous when the suns out. The BBQ is also foldable, would fit in a small bag and comes with an adjustable shoulder strap for portability making it idle for anything from the park to a camping trip. The Carhartt BBQ is available online and instore at Fatbuddha and sold crazy last summer so get yours now.
