Today’s been a good day for deliveries in stores and online. First up is a long-awaited replenishment of our Slim Leg Jean: crafted here in England from raw 13oz Japanese denim, they’ve long been a favourite of ours.
They were joined by two new arrivals – cold weather haters will hopefully be pleased to hear they’re both hoodies. Our …

Working at our Beak Street store, you’d think we’d be spoilt for lunchtime choice. And indeed we were for the first year after opening; half our lunchbreaks were taken up with narrowing down the variety of treats on offer, the other half with a mad dash and indigestion-inducing gorge.

With a few great new arrivals expected over the next couple of weeks, we’re trying to make room in our stores and stockrooms. We figure the best way to do this is to drop the prices of our sale styles to (quite frankly) ridiculous prices – you can now pick up a huge range of our Winter styles with up …

In amongst this week’s new deliveries was a bit of an exciting arrival for us: our first printed shirt fabric. We’re quite geeky about the fabrics we use, so this was a Big Day for us.
Created from a premium narrow-width selvedge cotton fabric, the Tux Shirt in Night Spot has been woven on a traditional Japanese loom. It’s polka …
