Vintage Aspesi Mountain Coat

 

Acid Rambler

 Smashing new tit for tat from Casualco. Named after a very niche early 2000s outdoorsy mag, this is a very hikerdelic hat for the chilly autumn months.

Came with a lovely new pin badge, beer mat and stash full of stickers. The beanie is also made from recycled bottles, so staying toasty by reducing global warming...

And for the Sun and the Rain we've the perfect Weather Watcher. A vintage U.S. made 60/40 parka...

Barbour Thornhill

Fresh from Barbour's back room. The Thornhill. South Shields finests take on the classic four pocket parka in a hikerdelic olive. Plenty of pockets for the compass and Kendal mint cake.

Pleased with this pick up. Headed to Bede blindly, armed only with a few bob of cold hard Christmas cash and no clue if there'd be owt decent. Been a few years since I've visited and I was pleasantly surprised that Barbs have done the place out. Unfortunately I wasn't pleased with the calibre of stock, wave after wave of beige utility jackets and dayglo plasticky looking Internationals. Until I spied this beauty. The only one in the whole place and in my size to boot. Lucky man. £79 down from £220 due to a slight smudge of the B inside. Beautiful.

The eagle eyed amongst you may notice the Clarks Seam Treks pictured too. Another purchase on the same day but you'll have to wait for another blog soon...
