Yaka Clothing

I like an independent clothing brand.

I especially like an independent clothing brand forged out of the darks of a working class coal mining village in North East.

Step forward Yaka Clothing.

A Sunderland based brand put together through the heritage of coal mining and a passion for good quality clothing. And they've been making some smashing looking coach jackets, pastel tees and a summery cord bucket hat. The latter arrived in time for the May bank holiday.

One to keep an eye out for, especially when there's some Perry-esque polos and Harrington's in the pipeline.
