Perez — who has worked with the likes of Converse , Maison Margiela and Reebok in the past — has a background as a world-class breakdancer, and has since become known for carrying a sense of motion in his images, and exploring the lesser-known spheres that exist within the world of fashion. Teaming up with OBEY, who last year collaborated with Dickies , Perez showcases the brand’s latest array of shirting, logo tees and work pants, as well as more progressive and experimental looks. The full OBEY Fall 2021 collection is available in store and online , while Perez has just self published his first photography book See Me Up? It’s ‘Cause I’ve Been Down which is centred around the dance culture he grew up in.  

We are now mid way through the year, warmer months, albeit slightly less warm this week and we would like to take this opportunity to welcome a couple of new Chelsea Boots to our collection of Red Wing shoes which we have been long awaiting.  Over the years we have seen Red Wing's Chelsea styles come and go.  But we are pleased to welcome it back to Red Wing's collection in its latest form.   Its upper silhouette is identical to Red Wing's Rover style , rounded toe with plenty of space, built on their no.8 last and classic good year welted construction.  They have chosen a traction tread sole which gives the wearer the upmost comfort, flexibility and grip for different terrain, currently available in the amber and ebony different leather types pictured below.

Typically known for its Americana-influenced work jackets and pants, the Utility facet of the new Carhartt WIP Autumn/Winter 2021 collection eschews this point of reference, while still maintaining a focus on work-inspired silhouettes and fabrics.  Here, instead of rugged brown canvas, garments are created in heavy, structured twill and raw, undyed herringbone that has a speckled, salt-and-pepper look. The designs draw from an array of influences: pockets from a military smock are applied to the Charter Shirt, while angular contrast stitching and a washed-out blue colour – labelled ‘astro’ – both nod to functional garments of a more European origin. Utility also extends to a series of cotton jersey items, which appear in a loose, boxy fit with contrast flatlock stitch detailing. The Charter Pant, meanwhile, sees a classic cargo pant silhouette executed in a garment dyed twill, across a spectrum of washed-out colors. The result is a series of understated silhouettes ...

Our latest grooming brand YARD ETC . started with two sore hands and a strong and ever smouldering desire for horticulture. Like so many other gardening geeks they like to work with our bare hands. No gloves, with the fingers delving deep into the soil. As they say so much of the sensation is in the fingertips.

Yard Etc spotted a need and felt it was their mission to look for the best possible nurturing ingredients. Mild, yet effective raw ingredients that cleanse, nourish, moisturise and stimulate. Natural products of course and preferably organic. Add natural essential oils. Experienced craftsmen mix all these lovely things into a b...
