London Vintage book by Editions Paumes

Posted on | Leave a comment

Londonvintage

We like Bodie & Fou, it digs up some real leftfield gems when it comes to art and design. But this time, the retailer has a rather interesting book – London Vintage by Editions Paumes.

Described as 'the ultimate guide to the capital’s most sought after antique, vintage and second-hand addresses', it claims to offer some 'best-kept secret' vintage shops, everything from antiques, architectural salvage and homeware through to fashion and accessories over 128 boldly-coloured pages.

Downside? Well, Editions Paumes is a Japanese publisher, so the key details are in English, the images are universal, but the detail is in the Japanese language. If you can live with that, you can bag this gem for £20.

‘Vintage…and more’ fashion fair 27 September

Posted on | Leave a comment

Vintage_Fashion_London

Another new London vintage fair event for the calendar, the 'Vintage..and more' fashion fair which is being held at the Byam Shaw College of Art, N19, this Sunday 27 September.

As well as the typical array of vintage clothing stalls, the '…and more' bit of the title refers to the fact they'll also be selling customised items of clothing and will be featuring makers who create new designs from vintage fabric. Because of this, they are promising a larger-than-usual selection of clothes for men and kids. There will also be a section devoted entirely to haberdashery. 

The fair runs from between 11am and 5pm. Entrance costs just £3 (or £2 for students) but the bargain hunting starts early as there's the opportunity to request free entrance tickets on their website.

Trevor

It dates back to the late 40s, but was still a staple into the 50s, 60s and beyond – and the Wrangler Blue Bell Trevor cord jacket is back on the market with a serious attention to detail.

The 1947 Blue Bell range has been remade by Wrangler in Japan, with each piece handcrafted on original denim looms, complete with the original details, in this case twin chest and handwarmer pockets, vintage logo and adjustable tabs to the hem.

£140 secures you one.

Martin

There's a lot of choice when it comes to buying a 60s-style shirt these days – and you can add Mikkel Rude to that list.

According to the man himself (a long-time mod), the shirt range os one design in 9 different 60s-inspired fabrics, all with v-cut sleeve, button on the rear of the collar, box pleat and darts, with one distinctive detail of its own – a very pointed button-down collar (as well as the fabrics, all exclusive to Rude).

The shirts are available in very limited numbers and will be sold in the coming months in Oi Polloi in Manchester, American Classics in London, Storm in Copenhagen, Flying A in New York and Martin C. in Paris. Or you can pick one up online – yours for £65.

Adidas Consortium Rod Laver trainers – yet another five new designs

Posted on | Leave a comment

Con1

Hang on, haven't we been here before? Back in August we featured five new designs for the Adidas Consortium Rod Laver trainers. Now, here we are in September with another five new styles.

To be fair, all are very different from the first batch, although of course, all are still based on the 1977 tennis shoe classic, so not a million miles away either. For your money, you get a canvas, suede or leather upper, partner branding on the heel, the Consortium 'Handshake' branding on the tongue and a shoe made in very limited numbers.

Partners this time are Solebox (pictured above), ACU (pictured over the page), Wood Wood, Goodfoot and D-Mop. All are priced at £70.

APC classic duffle coat and MHL duffle jacket

Posted on | Leave a comment

Apc

Autumn is upon us, so it's time to think about a winter coat to keep out the cold and drizzle. If you're looking for something classic and stylish, both the APC classic duffle coat and MHL duffle jacket.

Starting with the APC coat (pictured above), it's a classic, fully-lined duffle with large fasteners, a hood and storm flaps, the whole thing made of a wool mix fabric. £420 will secure you one. The MHL duffle jacket (as the name suggests) is shorter, made of single layer melton wool and has both a hood and large wooden fasteners. That retails for £265 and is pictured over the page.

Of course, you can also opt for a real classic instead, the Gloverall Monty duffle coat, which was still standard issue to the British military in World War II. You should be able to find one of those for around £220.
