I was down at the vintage showroom the other day, researching for a new line of English made clothing we’re doing at work. In my opinion these guys have the best collection of vintage for mens apparel, they work with a range of brands from Galliano to J.Crew. It’s by appointment only and not cheap, If you’ve ever wandered why there is no good vintage in any of the highstreet “vintage”, or “thrift”, stores its because dealers like this and the Japanese have it all. I got a little over excited when Douglas produced this 1960’s Donkey Jacket with leather back and sleeves. The leather trim is hard to find as most are made with vinyl and the L.B.H stands for London Borough of  H….. (insert London borough beginning with H, Doug didn’t know). This fit me like a glove if I’d had £200 to drop on next winters coat this would’ve got snapped up for sure. The other gem of the afternoon was a dead stock, 1940’s, Special Forces, desert smock in a mottled cappuccino colour.  Forget the Albam fishing cagoule, this reproduced in wax cotton, lined for winter is going to be amazing.  The brands called British Khaki and launches at the end of July, watch this space.
