Words

We're well stocked in shorts for the summer ahead, and our most recent delivery from Workers just arrived with two different styles. The Baker shorts are a classic US Army fatigue short, but they're offered in a khaki cotton twill and a beautiful, washed indigo denim as opposed to the standard olive drab. They're exceptionally well made and the fabrics are both outstanding.

Oi Polloi recently posted a small selection of vintage deadstock Persol sunglasses to their website. The pairs in stock aren't the most iconic Persol frames, of course, but the colours and shapes available could make for a unique and interesting look.

—01. E Width.

Words

Some of the most clean and simple, but rugged and hardwearing oxfords have been made by Yuketen in recent years. I love a good, heavy sole, and these Vibram 2021 soles look very appealing with a classically simple upper in light brown leather.

Words

While we always try to bring in the best of each brand, there's always a couple of styles that might not work as part of our overall buy, and that we didn't stock for one reason or another. This Gardener Jacket in Navy coloured 60/40 cloth is available from Loftman in Japan, and looks to be a great pick up for this time of year.

The Japanese crepe Royal Traveller Vest is a stand out piece from our Spring-Summer Post Overalls delivery. Each season the Royal Traveller Vest is a good bet, whether it's made in heavyweight melton wool for the winter or lightweight printed cotton for the summer. This 100% cotton Japanese crepe fabric is absolutely phenomenal. The texture is rich and slubby and the colour and weight are perfect for the season; with two pockets on the outside and two on the inside, there's plenty of space for all your essentials.

—01. 100% cotton.

Words

Seersucker is a great summer fabric and often it comes a bit too colourful for my tastes. There have always been tonal options, but the navy seersucker works nicely for this two-button jacket.
