Assuming many of you will be as obsessive about clothing as you are music.

What are you wearing? Any independent shops/manufacturers you’re fond of?

Okay I’ll go…  
Today’s ensemble, probably tomorrows too… (lockdown’itis)

Haircut: chez moi, Wahl clippers #0  
Bins: Cubitts  
Scarf: Kapital  
Sweat: National Athletic Goods  
T-Shirt: Real McCoys  
Pants: Schwanen  
Jeans: PBJ  
Socks: Anonymous-ism  
Feet: Birkies

Buy one or two bits a year these days, always in the sales, except for basics, bit of a sock fetish.  
It doesn’t go unnoticed I’m a bit of a cliché 😉

Nice. I’m on the Birk Boston and pricey socks tip too for padding about the house - can recommend Mauna Kea if you can find them in the sales.

Not worn jeans for an age, been in Orslow New Yorkers pretty much exclusively since last autumn.

Wearing a Battenwear hoody as I type - really into their stuff. Tried some Adsum bank pants a while back but didn’t get on with them.

Never really obsessed but I do like to buy key pieces that last… The latest purchase was a [Carrier Company Slop / Smock](https://www.carriercompany.co.uk/products/traditional-norfolk-slop). Hand made in Devon, they do contemporary takes on traditional garms…

Eyeing up some shorts and shirts from them as we move towards summer…

A jacket co. I’ve followed from the start is [https://paynterjacket.com/](https://paynterjacket.com/)

To begin with it was a 9am 1st come 1st served pre-order type thing but now they do a deposit scheme and then the jackets are made to order, with zero waste and a proper factory with fair pay etc. I’ve bought batch 1, 2 and 5 so far, amazing quality and customer service is different class.

I haven’t bought anything brand new in over two years - mainly because I have far too many bits in my drawers and wardrobes that never get worn - but I still like to window shop. In fact, I also run a FB group with Farley called Turn Ups & Turn Outs, which is quite popular with a certain demographic (maninly 40-60 year olds who are obsessed with Japanese clothing and Americana).

Today I’m rocking a beat up pair of Full Count 1100 - 14-03@s which are a reproduction of a 1944jean, made during the WWII hardship and rationing years and so have forsaken the usual canvas pocket bags for military style Olive HBT pocket bags, a fabric of which there would have been an abundance. With no thread to spare for extra detailing, the pocket arcuates have been painted on. The watch pocket goes un-riveted to allow precious metal supplies to be used for much needed ammunition. Only the Japanese would go into that level of authenticity with their repro’s 🤣

Sock are Thunders Love

T-shirt is just a plain white Lady White Co

Sweatshirt is one of my own DiscoTees

Shoes/boots - today will be a Yuketen Maine Guide boots- still the comfiest brand, imho.

These days, I much rather enjoy the challenge of seeking out decent clobber in vintage/thrift shops - I mean, anyone can bowl into Clutch Cafe or Cabourn and come out looking good, but I’d much rather do that for a fraction of the price. It’s amazing what you can find if you time it right.

Hardly worn jeans this last year, always opting for some fatigue pants when I go out. Also redwings have hardly come out, prefer to wear comfy running shoes.

These look great. Was considering something like this for this past winter but ended up going for a Filson Mackinaw cruiser, which I’ve now moved on due to the itch factor.

I have been hammering Vinted during lockdown, cheap Obey threads and Stussy clobber for half the price has been brilliant. There are some absolute bargains on there if you keep looking. I got a pair of Nike Air Max daps for 30 quid, worn twice !

I should also say that pre-lockdown, I also ran a vintage stall [www.instagram.com/theindigo.house](http://www.instagram.com/theindigo.house)

If anyone wants anything - drop me a line - I still have some ace down jackets (vintage Eddie Bauer, etc) that I haven’t bothered listing on eBay yet
