Blue Bell Wrangler Shirts and T-Shirts are finally up. This vintage inspired collection really does put many other big denim brands to shame. Effortlessly updated shapes in fine materials and contempory colours. Denim and sweats up soon, take a look here.

Fred Perry Waxed Millerain Fabric 'Harrington'. This pretty much defines what makes us happy, in clothes at least. A classic dealt a twist with sensitivity, the British Millerain fabric just about makes this jacket perfect, weatherproof and cut with an elan most just dont get. The check is just the icing on the cake. In stores now and online shortly...

A few pictures of some of the stock in lately. Redwing is, as ever, the industrial boot its o.k. to wear out of that environment and the Sperry add a nice twist to the standard. All in store now and online very soon...

nice free stuff

A lot has been said about the actual trainers (good and bad) but the extras that come with them are a very welcome addition. How often is it that you get a free Headporter bag? The laces with the XLarge Superstar 80s work very well too.
All are online now www.ranshop.co.uk

clyde bring back

I dont think you can ever really go wrong with a clyde (well, maybe some have been wrong...). These Clyde Bring Backs are whats good about them though. Great shape, materials and simple clean and strong colours.
I suppose its a love/hate shoe, think you'll be able to guess which one i'm on.
In the shops and online today/tomorrow

Sweet Suedes

More Suedes, we know.
Better suede this time around though.
A much better profile too, lower on the sole and the toe is not as round, almost clyde-like.
Based on the 1978 version the fit and look is much sleeker, not as bulky and dominant as the versions around lately.
These are part of a series of European only releases over the next three months.
Three colours per month, cheap (as a suede should be), only available to select accounts and in store very soon.

Just had word from Puma that the official release date for these will be the 20th of August, look out for them then....

So most of them have finally turned up. The adidas 5 2 3 pack has been quite intriguing from the off. No pictures, little information and very strict instruction on what can and cant be said.
Still under that instruction this is what we can say, they're much better than most people have given them credit.
They are very limited (not in a TRX way, in a we hardly have any way).
They are out on the 20th of August.
There are no privileges to anyone regarding them, you get 'em by being there first.
Prices aren't as high as first thought.
There are no more.
Oh, and the Head Porter comes with a Tote Bag, nice.

Volta

We have been looking forward to these for such a long time.
Italian leathers, great design and rich colours. They will be here soon, but not soon enough for us.
We have had these lined up for over nine months now, well, the best things come to those who wait and wait and wait....
