Henri Lloyd Consort

 Suitable for the sea, Sardinian sandwich shops and soccer stands of Sheffield.

Henri Lloyd RWR is one of Mr Strzelecki’s signature pieces in the late 60s, and over the years has become an iconic piece of jacketry.

This version was updated in part  by Best Company designer Olmes Carretti, comes in bright blue and green so to be seen...

Vintage Aspesi Mountain Coat

 

Far Afield Portree Smock

 Nightshade purple. Slurple.

Henri Lloyd Round The World Race

 HL's iconic jacket at a ridiculous bargain price. Mind you, was listed as a 'car jacket' which sounds like something Alan Partridge would buy/sell...

 

Sweat Shopping

 Couple of sweatshirt pickups seeing as it's getting a bit chilly.

Garment dyed 2017 Stone Island via a forum. The deep green is more spring colourway than autumn but it's a very soft, comfortable sweat. 

Also a classic dark navy Folk. Basic in style and substance but there's nowt wrong with that. Been getting plenty of Folk gear recently, stay put for further posts of autumn staples - the overshirts.

 

OTS Gun Club Camo

 Got it back. 

Jungle Marsh Parka MKII

 More marsh parka goodness. Few years since I last had one of these, the prospect of picking another one up dirt cheap was too much to resist...

Norse Projects Ystad Parka

 "Created to improve life - good for all seasons..." - N.P.

Recent Purchases

 Haven't done one of these for ages. Years in fact. When I post a load of bits and pieces I've picked up. This lot is especially random, boredom of lockdown taking effect...

A vintage Folk rainmac in a striking royal blue. Came as part of a job lot of coats, including an Elka x Norse projects fisherman's jacket and couple other smart folk overcoats. Couldn't get a decent photo of the others, anyway this was pick of the litter.

Brook Brothers shirt. Classic long sleeved button down with a fine check from the shirting staple siblings.

Garbstore x Indigo Farm selvedge denim. eBay bargain this, £13. Only couple of blurry photos in listing so took a risk. Paid off nicely as in top condition - no fading or wear. Very smart.

Clarks desert boots. My old pair have gone the journey so pleased to some new ones dirt cheap from TK Maxx.

Another job lot, this time of tittfers. Two Highland 2000 wool watchcaps - these were the brand who did CC's OG McMurphys (which I've got a handful of) so the quality shines through. Made in England also. Then a couple tweed numbers - a bakersboy, for when I'm feeling Peaky, and a trilby for when I'm Still Game.

Pissed up OG England 96 home shirt and Hackett cap. Recently got a refund on my EURO 2020 tickets so was a bit glum. Got these for watching it at home and throwing patio furniture round my garden...

...with an England soundtrack. World in Motion and England's Irie. The two best football tunes IMO.

The devil makes work for idol hands. Particularly when Sara Cox is the centrefold. Few vintage Loaded mag from eBay. For the articles.

A signed Pools ball. Celebrating 100 years of Hartlepool United. Fortunately I've only been around for 37 of them.

Saxon Footnote

 A little footnote to the recent Saxon stories, vintage jacket picked up via eBay. Excellent condition dark blue baggy style - for a tenner.

Adsum Archive

 Adsum of NYC had an archive sale fairly recently. Jackets with ridiculous RRPs went for peanuts - even with the overpriced shipping from the states left us quids in. Picked up a Spinner jacket which is the lightest, thinnest and summeresque coat I've ever purchased...

Garbstore Langdale Parka

Picked up this Ian Paley designed bit of Garbstore from eBay for just over thirty beans. Used to have it in khaki but it always appeared a bit washed out, despite the random navy pocket. The purple version offers something a little different, if only the same detail but in a very fruity colourway...

British Rail Coat

An old British Rail guards all weather jacket. Surprisingly well made and in great condition, plenty pockets on front, extra zipping inside to attach a fleece lining and of course the arrows of indecision. Perfect for walking the dog or having your job for life being sold out from under you by the Tories.

Because Britain ran on socialist rail...
