The very cool D. H. Lawrence in Mexico 1923, so thats where Albam and Folk get their style from!

Yes, it’s miserable out there and warm summer days seem a long way off. It’s not all doom and gloom, however. We’re waving goodbye to our store on Camden Lock and to ensure we leave in a blaze of glory, we’re having a huge clear out.

Our big sale is for a limited time only, starting today and running until 6pm Sunday.

The A Board says it all, really…

We’re pretty familiar with Banksy creations popping up here and there, especially around our parts (Islington.) Could it be, though, that there is a new contender on the scene? This dapper little rascal has popped up on the wall of Planet Organic on Essex Road. Under the alias of (what we can make out as) ‘Domasters’, could it be time that Banksy has met his match?

Time to up your game?

…Jar Jar Binks?! Yep, Illustrator John Woo has married a host of Star Wars characters to appropriate high end lines to come up with this result…

Whilst we’re not quite sure if Darth Vader can pull off the preppy look, it’s still something that we can imagine heading down the catwalk. Jar Jar Binks may look particularly fresh in his reptilian knitwear and white ensemble by Maison Martin Margiela but our favourite is the more colourful number by COMME des GARÇONS as modelled by the ever suave…Jango Fett…

We’re no bunch of geniuses but judging by the current trend of suit buying and couple shopping, we’d say a lot of you guys are gearing up for wedding season. It pays to be ahead of the game with one groom-to-be snapping up a suit yesterday for his his big day…in December 2013. Still, with limited quantities on most pieces, you have to move quickly or risk losing out.

So to help you guys stand out from the crowd, we’ve recharged our selection of pocket squares. With our Angel store boasting 32 colours and each one costing under a tenner, it could be just the finishing touch you need for that cheeky bit of colour or that much needed tonal piece of monochrome.

It’s the little things that go a long way…

Here’s one that may have passed you by, but Lineage Of Influence have done a great feature on us. Using the SS12 Preview shots which heavily feature two of our Moleskin Blazers, and a peep at that classic Mayfair Shirt in Black and White Floral Pattern, the guys have managed to capture our softer, slightly less flamboyant side.

It’s always nice to get the nod of approval from bloggers/writers who know their stuff when it comes to menswear and Lineage of Influence is no exception. Let’s be honest, it’s also nice to read the complimentary comments at the bottom of a feature too!

Believe it or not, Good Friday provided us with a healthy dose of sunshine. Good, indeed. So we ran out of the house and had a mooch around historic Greenwich. Buzzing in the nice weather with Londoners and tourists alike, we stumbled across the National Maritime Museum which had been transformed into a set for the film version of Les Misérables.  All very impressive but what we were most taken with was the elephant…

Sadly not real, but impressive (and HUGE) nonetheless. Anyone fancy a ride?
