Our Legacy Shirts – Staple Shirts

Our Legacy Shirts

With humble beginnings that come from one of the world’s most contemporary and fashionable countries, Our Legacy has quickly risen to become one of the most desirable brands of the moment. Crafted by childhood friends Christopher Nying and Jockum Hallin, Our Legacy was initially started as a hobby, with the release of a range of printed t-shirts. The unique concept that the two friends created- to remodel and reimagine classic men’s fashion pieces for the modern day- soon developed at a rapid rate, leading to Our Legacy becoming a fully fledged brand in its own right.

Influenced by art, vintage fashion and contemporary flair, everything that Our Legacy craft has a distinct sense of individualism, craftsmanship and supreme quality.

It is perhaps in Our Legacy shirts that this design philosophy and commitment to being unique really shines through. From patterns that offer a fresh take on classic shirt formats, to materials that offer a sense of plush quality, Our Legacy shirts are the very definition of today’s sleek, ongoing style. An unparalleled cut gives a flattering silhouette to Our Legacy shirts, whilst their detailed finishes, such as contrasting buttons add yet another twist to a sense of style that is anything but simple.

Even in their more subtle pieces, Our Legacy have managed to make their shirts instantly eye catching- whilst still allowing them to carry a premium styling appeal; a feat that is truly unique in today’s fresh style stakes.

Mens Designer Parkas

Mens Parka jackets have been one of the true staples of casual wear since their sharp rise to prominence in the 60’s. Bought forward to the fashionable eye through youthful rebellion, Parkas were first adopted by one of Britain’s most infamous cult movements; the mods. Providing great coverage from the weather, lightweight parka coats were adopted to help keep the mods warm and dry whilst riding their scooters. Meanwhile, heavier versions, which incorporated the use of fur and padded linings, were being used the world over in some of the world’s harshest climates.

Pretty Green Deansgate Parka – £125.00

Cementing men’s parkas into an unassailable position, the mod movement wore only the sharpest and clean cut of styles as their instantly recognisable uniforms. Perhaps most infamously represented by Phil Daniels, who famously played Jimmy, a scooter and mod culture obsessed youth in ‘Quadrophenia’, the classic men’s parka coat is the perfect example of laid back, simple style.

With classic styles featuring slightly looser fits that fall at thigh length, along with identifiable details such as fish tail venting at the back, the original parka coats were the choice of outerwear for an entire generation.

Pretty Green Mountain Parka – £150.00

Further advancements in the style however have bought around new features for the parka, with some labels adding modern touches to the classic piece such as tougher, more rugged materials, shorter cuts and hoods. With brands like Penfield adopting the look to continue their superb blend of style and protection, the Parka coat has become a utilitarian design, mixing practicality with fashion, providing an image that is in stark contrast with the original style that the mod’s adored.

However, despite all of the developments that the parka coat has undergone since the 60’s,one thing has always remained the same; the iconic men’s parka coat still provides unparalleled coverage and protection from the elements, no matter what the variation.

Style Sessions – Issue 2

1. Hugo Boss Orange Pimentos Polo Shirt – £79
2. Hugo Boss Orange Orange 37 Jeans – £160
3. Hugo Boss Orange Keelo Trainers – £115

After some positive feedback about the first installment of the Style Sessions feature, we are back already with Issue 2. If you missed the first post, we are using the Style Sessions blog posts as an opportunity to give you some help in the styling department. If you are unsure what you might wear a pair of red chinos with for example, hopefully if we feature a pair it will give you a suggestion of what kind of garment/colours work best with it.

This week we concentrate on the Hugo Boss Orange brand with a selection of their Spring Summer 2013 collection. The Hugo Boss Orange brand is a casual branch of the hugely successful Hugo Boss franchise. Their popular seasonal collections have a range of clothing that are popular year after year and includes the likes of polo shirts, knitwear, jeans and trainers amongst others.

Starting from head to toe, we have a Boss Orange Pimentos polo shirt in this pastel green/white striped pattern with a navy colour block over the shoulders. The dark colour block gives this piece an eyecatching look as it contrasts against the lighter muted green/white colour scheme. Adorned with a branded metal tab near the hem this piece is perfect for this season.

Fred Perry Bradley Wiggins Collection

His trademark sideburns and phenomenal sporting success over the past few years have made his face as recognisable as many Premiership footballers or famous celebrities. Bradley Wiggins has become a household name through his recent success at the 2012 Olympics, Tour De France and most recently, Sports Personality Of The Year. His quirky modernist appearance sets him apart from his sporting peers when they are being interviewed and to a degree this makes him more marketable. Fred Perry have now teamed up with Wiggins to collaborate on a clothing range which quite simply reflects the personality of the cyclist.

The man himself has been a supporter of the brand for years and is often seen sporting a Fred Perry polo or track top. His sense of style was further highlighted at the Sports Personality of the Year Awards when he wore an unconventional double breasted velvet suit with brass buttons by Soho tailor Mark Powell. Yes it was a suit that most people might not have dared to wear at an awards ceremony but it didn’t look out of place on Wiggins.

The Fred Perry Bradley Wiggins collection is a collaboration which is as eagerly anticipated by the general public than any other of recent time. Scheduled to ship fully in March the collaboration had to follow a brief which was to create a clothing range which reflected his lifestyle and personality. Technical sportswear was not on the agenda but rather to incorporate cycling details into fashion pieces which would be ideal for wearing to the pub or out and about town. Extended hems, zip-up collars and rear patch pockets were all features highlighted for use on the garments. His achievements for his country are reflected with the GB red, white and blue signature colours often used for trims or tips on garments.

Signature pieces from the collection include a knitted zip neck short sleeved cycling shirt, a panelled cycling shirt and a vintage track jacket which evokes memories of cycling greats such as Reg Harris and Tommy Simpson. Two styles of footwear in both suede and leather have been produced in various colours as well as a holdall and messenger bag.

It may well turn out that these garments turn out to be collector’s pieces for fans of both the brand and Bradley Wiggins. The collaboration pieces will provide a talking point between you and your friends and will gain envious glances from the fashion conscious males that frequent the same watering holes out and about town.

Due to ship in early March, we have the collection available for pre-order on the website right now. The Harrington jacket which has been released earlier than the other pieces arrived last week but sold out in a matter of days. We are currently trying to obtain some more from the supplier. If this is an indication of how popular the collaboration is going to be, it looks like Fred Perry have found a golden nugget in the form of one of Britains great sporting heroes.
