Wandering out of Carnaby street one day and what do I find?

The London Tweed Run.  That's what!

On Saturday the 9th April a mass of cyclists clad in both vintage and new tweed of all types upon their Pashleys and Penny Farthings took to the streets of London.  

Described as a 'leisurely jaunt through the Empire's capital' it must be the perfect way to enjoy London's finer sights without enduring the hassles and heat of the tube.

Regents Street was where I found them and I just wish I'd known sooner... 

 

... next year I'll definitely be taking part... 

... my tweed jacket, flat cap and 1970's Raleigh at the ready!

Photographs by the famous 'Bassano Limited - Court Photographers' taken in 1945...

I want one of those!

There's no hiding my love of old cars... 

... secretly (but not so secretly) I want this one...
... yes its the car from Harry Potter... but I promise that's not why...

So I thought I pay tribute to some people who clearly were very proud of their cars back in the day...

1973

All photos were found at carboot sales... yes... I know... another carboot sale... I promise that's not ALL I do....

Still my new favorite shop!

Previously I posted the autumn/winter collection from YMC (You Must Create) and now that summer (ok not quite yet) I figured why not show you their latest fashion offerings:

Oh wow.... I want these - SO MUCH

What a Picture!

I love saving old photographs from possible decomposition in a skip somewhere...

...and these old passport photos were no exception...

Don't you just wish that they still did them this way?
I only wish that I knew his name...

You Must Create - a collection of men's and womenswear.

Wandering around London on a rainy day can lead to the discovery of many things, whether it be your first Ed's Diner milkshake (there is no better!) or a small clothing boutique. This last week I found YMC, an almost invisible store located near the Soho branch of Beyond Retro (more on those finds later). 

Only recently have I discovered my love of menswear, but this shop was exactly where I would take any guy wanting to look the part without having to venture anywhere near a Topman OR spend excessive amounts of money.

With an eclectic mix of men's and women's clothing and a shop fitted out with vintage cabinets and a stuffed warthog; YMC provides every man with a wardrobe filled with gorgeous shirts, super chunky knits and even chunkier socks.

OK so everyone apparently hates Henry Holland... but I think these jeans work with their statement colour blue.
