The good folk at S.E.H Kelly have done it again, this time producing a masterpiece of a jacket, The Tour Jacket MKII. It’s a stunning piece of outerwear for the spring and summer months that is made out of a dusty green-coloured 11-way corduroy, slightly lighter than most corduroys to cater for the warmer weather. This specific fabric was made at a mill in Lancashire, England which they co-operate with on a regular …
So our friends at A Kind of Guise, also know as AKOG, sent over this wonderful set of 35mm film photography for their Spring/Summer 2012 lookbook.

Although this clothing isn’t cheap it’s definitely for a reason, don’t …

I guess that’s why I look to different areas of design when trying to get inspired, such as photography, architecture, furniture, ceramics and things like that. It makes sense and runs along the same line in my opinion, but this morning I decided to pull it all back …
Our friend Taka, owner and founder of Allevol, put us onto this new interview piece that he filmed at Nigel Cabourn’s base in Newcastle, which is beautiful little area as you will see in this short film placed below. Although we’ve possibly comes across a thousand interviews with Nigel, even one we put together ourselves in text form, I have to say that this is probably one of the best video interviews that I have seen with …
