Margin London
11th-13th of February is the time span for the fifth Margin show in London. If you are either a buyer or producer of Upscale Streetwear or Directional Tailoring you should look into this. Amongst the exhibitors this time around are Sugarhill Clothing, Dephect Cloting and MERC.
Chateau Roux
Rolling out on their bespoke 50/50 cotton/modal stock Chateau Roux are giving you a break i mid-winter teedom as they release these two killer gold foil designs in black and white limited edition. Retailing at a semi-stiff £40 these should still be good value, as these tees are really nice from the get go.
Hand On: Swami Safari
I received this piece sometime last week, but due to illness and work I’ve not been able to do the writeup until today. This is a treat of a tee though…
The Swami visits the World Tree Yggdrasil and is introduced to its many inhabitants. The World Tree supports the entire universe on its limbs, its roots gnawed at by the dragon Nidhoggr. The giant rooster Vidofnir is perched at the top of the tree. Both bird and dragon employ Ratatosk the squirrel to pass insults between themselves (and heaven and hell).
The shirt is smooth and soft in light and fine cotton with a slightly roomy neckline at the top. Inside the neckline the story behind the design is quoted together with the company logo.
The design is a nice large print black on the white soft tee base, and the print seems to be of good quality with little touch to it. The detailing is exceptional as you may see from the detail shots after the jump.
This is the first tee from Australian label Swami Safari, and if you like it stay tuned or even subscribe to their monthly teeliveries and receive a 10% discount. The shirt itself is AU$49 in Aussie and NZ, or US$45 to the rest of the world, shipping and taxes included. Payments go through paypal. More images after the jump…
