New Season taster from Penfield

Skrevet af 2 den

Hands up if you have been waiting with baited breath ever since the temperature dropped for Penfield to deliver their new season goods into stores?? Yes, well so have we and we got more then ever so slightly excited when Dave from UPS came through the door with a couple of boxes from non other then one of our favourite outerwear specialists, Penfield USA. Our excitement turned to disappointment when we realised it was their shirts, hats, bags and no sign of the jackets but then we were soon back on cloud nine as we have found that whatever Penfield...

A Visit To Edwin Jeans

Skrevet af 2 den

  A good friend of ours by the name of Charlie Warren called us up recently to tell us he had landed a job with the highly renowned Japanese Denim Masters Edwin and did we want to go and see the range. Well, as the saying goes, never look a gift horse in the mouth so we made the short journey from Number Six HQ to Edwin Jeans showroom and enjoyed a cup of tea and good company whilst looking at a jeans collection that can boast being the best selling denims in Japan. No mean feat in a market that prides itself on being pioneering, outstanding and exceptionally purist denim...

Heritage Research Quoddy Colaboration

Skrevet af 2 den

What do you get when you cross impeccable British taste with unrivalled American craftmanship. You get footwear like these that what. Heritage Research have added their own personal take to a pair of the classic, hand made in Maine Quoddy boots with full leather, hand stitched uppers onto a hard wearing Vibram sole. The result.....sheer poetry.

Whipsnade Zoo

Skrevet af 2 den

After working 16 days on the trot, I thought I had earned a day out of the office and took a trip down the M1 to Whipsnade Zoo with Baby Mabel. The most impressive thing out of a  pretty impressive day??? This magnificent fellow who was seperated from me by nothing more then a 10mm sheet of glass.   Actually, when I got home and uploaded this picture it took me right back to the 90's as he bears more then a passing resemblance to the logo of the old, and much missed Soho retail institution, Bond International. Love to KJ and Nicky. Thought this hippo eating...

Fred Perry New Season Collection Has Dropped

Skrevet af 2 den

Well, this certainly isn't how we remember Fred Perry from when we were kids. Way back then, Fred Perry consisted pretty much of the best fine gauge knitted v necks or polo shirts (obviously) that can be proudly mentioned in the same breath as the likes of Polo Ralph Lauren or Lacoste. The Fred Perry collection now is vast and we had to pick through a lot of printed tees and printed hooded sweats but amonngst all of that we came across some jewels. They have properly gone to town in terms of fabrics, designs and details and whether or...

Heritage Research is In Number Six Dray Walk ........

Skrevet af 2 den

....................and is shifting pretty quick. The production and design on the Heritage Research garms is impressing the hell out of us with sumptious linings and exemplary detailing going on all over the place.  The closer you look at these Heritage Research parkas the better they get and don't even begin to get us started on their baseball jacket. This gear has been in the store for one weekend so far and will be online this week but don't hang around as it has been moving out the door pretty sharpish so far. Final words......very good work to the fellows at...

nn07 - Number Six UK Exclusive

Skrevet af 2 den

--> We just arrived back from a stealth mission into Denamark to be first to lay claim to another of a seemingly never ending list of exciting brands that have consistently been coming out of Scandinavia in recent years. Going by the name of nn07, the "nn" standing for "no nationality" and the "07" being the year they launched, these boys are well savvy in putting together a collection of clothing that can competently rub shoulders with some of the most well respected and long established brands in the market today. We have been keeping our beady eyes on this little gem since it launched and up until now, it has never been...
