Woolrich - A Brief History

Written By Sam Sherwood - October 12 2014









Woolrich's history runs parallel to America's own history, alongside the endless train tracks that were built in Pennsylvania in the 19th century.

In 1830, John Rich established his first wool factory. Towards the end of the 19th century the demand for labor to build steam engines and rail cars demanded more workers, and the growing labour force needed clothing to keep them comfortable and well protected against harsh weather conditions. It was enough to make the wheels of commerce turn including the spinning wheels at John Rich's Woolen Mill.

With the diffused economic well-being of the 1960s , despite the general decline of most woollen factories, Woolrich’s growth was in full expansion. Evolution has been the key to Woolrich’s success: rather than relying solely on its past,  Woolrich has been able to actively scour new markets.

Now Available - Red Wing Shoes

Written By Sam Sherwood - September 24 2014


















Red Wing, considered by many footwear aficionados and menswear connoisseurs to be some of the best boots in history. With practical implications and purposes for aspects of each shoe, they all differentiate in someway and have been meticulously crafted over multiple generations, to serve all professions. Whether it be mining, logging or farming Red Wing boots have been there, constructed in the same way they were over 80 years ago, the leather still from the same factory, S.B Foot Tannery. If there is a standout heritage footwear brand out there today, Red Wing stands at the top.

This season we received three iconic silhouettes from the brand,  The Red Wing Moc Toe, without doubt one of the most quintessential work boots created dating back well over 100 years. The Chukka, sat aloft the Atlas Tred with leather that is highly suitable for workwear and finally, the Moc Toe Supersole, a lesser known model but nonetheless on par with its brothers, it features the usual formula of a Moc Toe with added ankle cushioning and a Supersole which is resistant to almost anything, heat, oil and gas.

Our Legacy AW14

Written By Dean Martindale - September 19 2014

Our Legacy, an establishment many have become familiar with, not due to over-sized branding (of which there is none) but from recognition of faultless collections of clothing, primarily of which being outstanding shirting and knits.

There is a lack of garish experimentation or ‘pushing the boundaries’ which bizarrely has become a breath of fresh air for most, what we see is well made garments, for the young and mature. It suits and fits all and most importantly are timeless pieces that don’t follow dull, reciprocated patterns.

Select pieces posses certain elements of the past. The 1940s and 50s shirt (one designed to be tucked in and the other out…) or fascinating textile attributes, the tear indigo tee has a weave process constructed on the surface, creating a multi-layered t-shirt. Each have a distinguishing features, whether it be weight of the cloth and adventurous prints (the black plants shirt) or barely noticeable but delicate and ornate patterns, all can be fashioned according to occasion.
