For our 200th post on the new-look Albam blog, it seems fitting to write about something new to us. As we wrote yesterday, we’ve just received our first ever delivery from Dr. Martens – a fantastic British brand that’s been releasing a succession of great mens styles over the last few seasons.
The three styles we’ve received are their first …

The teams are unpacking a tantalising new delivery as I type: a new brand for us here at Albam, we’ve just started stocking a small, choice selection of Dr Martens.
We’ve been eyeing up the offerings from the guys at DM for a while now, and finally couldn’t help ourselves. We’ve got three great styles available to begin with – photos …

There’s a nice interview today with our James on casual/heritage/very-nice-clothes forum Our Culture. Venturing into topics as diverse as inspiration, climbing and the work/life balance, if you’ve got a spare few minutes it’s well worth a read (if we do say so ourselves).

The first surprise on entering The Roundhouse was that in order to see the Rod Arad exhibition you only pay what you can afford. Now, I know this sounds too good to be true, but in fact as you walk up to the ticket desk you do tend to find that your conscience kicks in and stops you handing over 0.38p, …

After a really fun Archive Sale last week we made a few of our Fisherman’s Cagoules available online through our Facebook page. In the name of fairness (and because a couple of you asked us to) we thought we’d pop them on here for all you non-Facebookers to have a look at too.

Spent a lovely afternoon in London yesterday, stepping out of the sunshine briefly to take in a really brilliant exhibition at one of our favourite places, the Geffrye Mueseum (located conveniently close to our Spitalfields store in East London).

Good news: we’ve just marked down a bunch of styles to rock-bottom prices! Some are current styles, some are styles that were already in the sale, but are now available at even lower prices. You can click on the images to the right to see their new prices, but there’re plenty more pieces that’ve been marked down – you can …

Had a nice visit with the teams at Beak Street and Upper Street yesterday. The stores were looking great – you can see a few snaps to the right.
All the styles you can see in the photos are available both online and at all three of our stores.
