Woolrich Woolen Mills Upland Shirt



I recently spent a few, very pleasant, days in Leeds. Aside from having the best Italian food I have ever experienced outside of Italy I did a little bit of shopping. As per usual HIP was first on my list of the boutiques I wished to visit, and it turns out it was the only one I really needed. Old friends Bert and Everton always make me feel very welcome, and a viewing of their latest delivery of WWM, that had not even hit the shelves, was a very kind gesture. Sorting through it I immediately spotted this, the newest variation on the Upland Shirt. A thick winter shirt, it comes in a beautiful small blue check, with a very subtle hunting patch on the shoulder, and an interesting breast pocket multi button arrangement. With winter temperatures approaching I felt it was a worthy investment and so wasted no time in adding it to my wardrobe, leaving both HIP and Leeds a happy man.

STORE - Trunk Clothiers


August 2010 sees the opening of Trunk Clothiers, another independent shop stocking very exciting brands. Against recent trends they will open in London's West End. Rumors are that they have secured one of London's only Woolrich Woolen Mills accounts, as well as one with Beams Plus, who are rarely found outside Japan. I for one cannot wait until they open their doors, just to see what other brands they have on offer. The rise of independent menswear stores continues...

Woolrich Woolen Mills S/S10


At the moment all I can think about is when I will gain the opportunity to not have to wear lots of thick layers just to venture outside. When I am able to bask in sunshine and I am expecting a light shower, or a gentle wind this jacket, namely the Zuma Anorak from the Woolrich Woolen Mills summer collection would be perfect. Similar to an Our Legacy cagoule for a few seasons ago, this would be suitable to throw on in the summer months if the aforementioned conditions arose. The beige version is not bad either...
