Clarks Desert Boot 65; Made in England, but…

We all know it’s so much better when stuff is the same as it used to be; Shuron specs, Novesta sneaks, Peter Storm x Size? cagoules, even the USA-made Brooks Brothers shirts pass muster. So I suppose it’s a great

Deadstock Dolomite

The infamous Silverman’s of Mile End have just stuck these wild vintage hiking boots up on their eBay store. They look stiff and heavy as hell but so much cooler than the probably very functional but naff looking Berghaus or Karrimor

K-Swiss x OiPolloi

K swiss trainers were about a step above hi-tec when I was at school. London is almost exclusively a Nike city, where even the brand with the three stripes is a bit left field. So how were kids going to

In Defence of; Timberland Boots

I’ve just bought a pair of the Timberland Premium 6 Inch boots. I found them at a MASSIVELY reduced price (over £100 off) and just had to. I’ve never really ‘done’ boots beyond Clarks Desert Boots, but I’m hitting Glastonbury

Pacific Crest Trail Hikers

I’ve developed a real thing for outdoors wear. For some reason function has started to mean something to me, even though realistically it’s usefulness is wasted on me. All the same, this new ‘thing’ and my evergreen love for vintage

In Defence of; Rugby Shirts

I can see why people sometimes find it hard to look past the awful connotations of the rugby shirt. They go hand in hand with that really naff suburban London posh boy look. Ghastly. However, if you can force yourself past
