Going Out - NYE

Image
The Christmas parties may be over but there is still one last blow out on the cards before the misery of January, NYE. For those still unsure of what to do we have selected some of the nights we are most looking forward too for NYE and one for NYD. Here is our favourite options along with what to except: -  The Electric Frog  &  Thunder Disco Club  -  Todd Terje  NYE at SWG3 The Electric Frog  &  Thunder Disco Club  have combined forces again to bring your all time favourite Norwegian Disco Dandia -  Todd Terje !  Known for his distinctive, consistently compelling dance music,  Todd Terje   docked his intergalactic boogie ship onto the Scandinavian dance scene in 2004 and for the last decade he’s been creating, cutting and remixing his own wonderfully weird brand of hi energy electronic disco for our beloved dance floors ever since.  For an extra special Toddmanay experience, he will be performing his highly acclaimed live set bang on the bells to bring you leaping and b

Outfit of the Week - Asics, Carhartt WIP, Patagonia

Image
This week's look features two of Autumn/Winter biggest trends camo print and layered down. The camo trend has been around for a while and is still going strong on brands like Carhartt WIP and Bape while layered down emerged on the Japanese and Scandinavian market through brands such as the North Face Purple Label and Norse Projects along with more technical minded brands such as Patagonia and Lacoste Live. We love these trends so much we thought we would marry them in this weeks outfit grid. Starting the look off is the beautiful Michigan Chore Coat from Carhartt WIP in their signature camo duck. Full camo print can sometimes overpower a garment but thanks to the classic fit, complimentary gold buttons and a subtle black collar the balance on this number is just right. So to the next trend, layered down. Under the Carhartt jacket we have used Patagonia's Hi-Loft Down Jacket as the inner layer, the key to pulling off this trend is not to think of it as two jackets

Adidas Handball Spezial - Blue / Run White

Image
Perhaps no other sneaker brand can boast as much inter-generational loyalty as Adidas can. Time honored silhouettes remain as popular with each reboot as they did when they were just released, with this in mind we are glad to welcome the return of Adidas's Handball Spezial. The original Adidas Spezial was first released back in 1979 and was designed as an indoor handball sneaker for professional players. The style was then adopted by the terrace crowds of the late 70s and early 80s which has fostered a loyalty to the shoe which has been passed down from father to son. This latest edition features a classic blue and white colourway across the full suede uppers. Leather overlays at the heel and iconic three stripe branding along with thick rope style laces give this shoe a premium feel while the look is finished off with a signature durable rubber outsole. This iconic shoe is available in store and online at Fat Buddha Store .

Outfit of the Week - Carhartt WIP, Edwin, New Balance, Obey, Patagonia, Sandqvist

This weeks look is a perfect winter everyday look made up of thick comfortable layers in the perfect Autumnal colour pallet of blues and browns. The look is kept stylish and contemporary thanks to high technical specs with premium designs and branding. First up in this look is the beautiful Patagonia Bivy Down Jacket which is designed for warmth and comfort. This jacket is constructed from a wind and water resistant outer nylon canvas which is insulated with 100% traceable down. On top of this the jackets outdoor utilitarian look is also super stylish this season. For extra warmth under the jacket we have layered with the Carhartt Demand Hooded Sweatshirt which at medium weight will not look to bulky under your jacket. We choose a hooded sweat for this everyday layered look as it will still keep you warm inside with the jacket off, unfortunately in this weather a simple t-shirt indoors will not cut it anymore. To sharpen up this everyday look we have selected the slim fitti
