What’s New: Polos, Shirts, Pants & Shorts from Farah

May 12, 2011

The Farah brand was born in the 1920s but it was not until the 1970s in the UK that it reached the cult status it holds today.

The original Farah slack made from hopsack canvas became an immediate hit with the youth of britain: slim cut, sharply tailored and featuring stain resistant technology, the trouser was unlike anything available at the time.

Momentum for the brand grew and in the 1980s Farah became a must have label amongst fashion savvy hipsters, including the mods, skins, sticksmen and rocker-billys. Seen on the balconies at gigs across the UK music scene, each group interpreted the brand within their own style, building key farah items into what became their definitive looks. The clothes came to represent a sense of elitism while generating respect for those who displayed the now famous “Farah F Tab”.

Today the Farah label still holds the heritage and vigour it stood for then. A whole new generation of men throughout the world are drawn to the brand’s history and inspired to rediscover the distinct look for themselves.

Not all items in the branding shots above are available at the store, but we did order a vast amount of pieces from their collection:

Polos $89-$128
Tanktops $59
Shirts $98
Shorts $99
Pants $128
Blazer $229

What’s New: Marshall Artist

April 19, 2011

Nautical jacket - classic vintage sailing jacket with button and toggle closing $210

A British Heritage brand, Marshall Artist‘s mission is to produce socially relevant menswear that is ultra wearable while showcasing their British eccentricities. Their design and quality competes with higher end brands without the higher price point, and when you see the details that they put in the product it will become your favorite brand!

The factory that makes Marshall Artist also makes items for Prada, Mui Mui, Penfield. Marshall Artist has been spotted on the backs of Jude Law, David Beckham, the Gallagher brothers and other British celebrities.

Spring was inspired by classic American sports, the great outdoors and 60’s military, including references to camping, sailing, lawn tennis and vintage military uniforms.

What’s New: Without Prejudice (UK)

March 17, 2011

UK based Without Prejudice is a sophisticate affair, packed with detail and an occasional dash of sartorial adventure, just what you would expect from this British born, London bred menswear brand. Unique British styling and fits for the style conscious man.

Suits by Without Prejudice are between $895 and $950, with blazers priced at $550, shirts at $195, and pocket squares at $35.

Melissa says: take the time to look at the details this brand has to offer: surgen cuffs (hard to find in a suit at this price range), the last button hole stitch on the cuff is done in purple (for added pizazz), button hole stitch on the lapel is vertical instead of horizontal (again a small detail to make the suit stand out), half canvas construction, lots of inside pockets, beautiful fabrics. We’re excited to have this collectiion exclusive in Canada! They fit alot of the footballers in the UK, so they are made for a bigger guy who wants a trimmer looking suit – sizing is a bit interesting as well – a 42 fits like a 41, a 44 fits like is a 42.5 – so again perfect for guys who always felt inbetween sizes. Has the perfect navy blazer for Spring!
