We are proud to announce with rather well groomed hair that our good friend Mr Natty and his incredible hair preparations is now available online as well as in store. Having spruced up royalty, ruffians and everywhere in between, Mr Natty (the man) is a master barber, groomer and hair stylist all rolled into one who is on a one man crusade to bring some British heritage into every gentleman's bathroom in the country and we are more than happy to be behind him. Mr Natty's hair preparations is a selection of manly essentials that should always be to hand be it in the bathroom cabinet, briefcase or suitcase, all engineered (in Mr Natty's shed) and crafted in England, the array of grooming products came about because Mr Natty's clients were moaning how boring everything out there was, so Mr Natty decided to make the getting ready experience inspiring as well as functional no matter what the occasion.

With hair styling, all types are covered with the Pomade Wax, Clay and Paste. For the face forest's amongst us there's Mr Natty and Frank's beard elixir to keep your facial hair cleansed, conditioned and offering astringent qualities and finally nothing beats a good old fashioned scrub down with the Shipwreck soap, hand-made and traditionally cold-pressed and a classic men's scent of vetiver, patchouli and a smidgeon of cocoa just the trick for cleaning both your port and starboard and never neglect below the decks.

Folk Clothing, who simply put, are the devil for the details, are back again for Spring/Summer with the latest offering of well crafted, eye catching yet subtle clothing for the warmer months. As always with Folk its not a case of feeling the need to push the boundaries beyond sense on a design ethos level, they will never add to their collection for the sake of it, either will you see a third sleeve to a shirt. What Folk do, do so well and the reason all the Weavers Door team are huge fans, is that they concentrate on the finer details, if a garment needs improving on a design level then that its exactly what they will set out to achieve through re-design, but if the garment is exactly know it should be then the focus moves on to the fabrications, the buttons, the details. Find the Spring/Summer collection here.

As the idiom expresses 'The devil is in the details' and when it comes to London based Folk Clothing they could of came up with this term as its the details, time, effort and thoughts that go into each collections design process that means Folk stands out on a rail, not be being out there, wild or putting a third sleeve on a shirt, but by simply taking easy to wear garments and carefully choosing where these details are to be found, be it a hidden pocket, stitch detail or button everything is thorough while be understated. It's this design ethos that Folk started with and still champion to this day that makes us fall for every collection and makes us proud to present to our friends and customers. Check out our Spring/Summer Folk Clothing Collection here.

We are the first to admit we enjoy being the denim geeks that we are, if that's shameful then so be it but the boundaries the indigo fabric can reach are limitations that not many fabrications can achieve, the ability to change shape and aesthetic along with what we as indivduals do in them gives denim it's beautiful character that only leather can compare to, if only we got better looking with age! The Spring/Summer 2012 collection by the Japanese denim experts brings not only a array of well crafted, premiiumquality denim's and washes to the denim bench but also some brilliant apparel to compliment.

"As the dark end of the street turns into the bright side of the road, we see the AW11 man at Edwin emancipating himself from his solitary existence in the shadow’s of lone crusading, by ingratiating himself into a tribe, his desire to roll with likeminded souls underpinned by a feeling of kinship and belonging, and a need for buddies.
The road trip aesthetic is maintained for SS12 albeit lighter in hue and tailored towards Big Sur as opposed to the Mid West. The bike, the intoxicating odour of petrol and the need for speed remain.
To ascertain the season’s highway aesthetic is to dissect the look and feel of the Edwin motorbike brotherhood ‘Sons of the Summer’ thereby illustrating the highlights of what is the most comprehensive spring summer collusion of fabric, function and form from Edwin for many years." EDWIN Japan.

It's Spring time yet again, the weather is showing hopeful signs of improvement but don't be deceived by the sunshine, its still cold in the shade. So when it comes to the change of season so does the assessment of everyone's wardrobe. We can honestly say if there's any gaps missing there's no need to panic by the look of the Spring/Summer 2012 clobber offering by our Danish friends at Norse Projects. A firm favourite in the Weavers Door family, Norse have up'ed it again with their consistent base of quality basics and clean silhouettes, inspired by streetwear staples and classic European design, there's something/s for everyone this Summer, with the ever faithful Anton Oxford Shirt, a arsenal of jersey and the Elka Raincoat, come rain or shine, our favourite scandinavians have it sorted.

They've been invited back with open arms to the basement of the Shipping Forecast after their successful Dilla benefit night, as Liverpool is crying out for more. Adam McAleavey, a member of the forward thinking team behind MADNICE is looking forward to the event dearly as they're presenting, "The skills of one of the freshest DJ/producers on the planet right now, KUTMAH. Hailing from Los Angeles, an undoubted pioneer of the LA beat scene & DJ of choice for the likes of Flying Lotus, Samiyam, Gaslamp Killer, Daedelus & many more."

See you there.

If you haven't of The Green Soccer Journal before then we will let you off this time, it's a unique ode to the beautiful game, combining strong football writing with a creative and contemporary to reporting and a level of photography rarely seen in the so-called beautiful game these days. With a refreshing change of focus on the area's of football while highlighting all the necessities without being lured towards the mainstream both in the football world and exposes the aesthetical side of the game be it the clothing, equipment and so on. So if eat, breathe and sleep football then this is a great read to enjoy the finer and sometimes forgotten points of football presented in a posh and uncommonly stylish way.

Issue Three, the latest issue focuses on the member of the team that is often not appreciated as much as he should be because he spends most of his time standing at the back in between the sticks, the Goalkeeper of course. It's the role that keeps the entire team together and the issue looks at what it takes to be a professional goalkeeper in the modern era; the pressures and responsibilities involved, and the mental strength needed to survive what can be a parlous undertaking. Chat's with some of the games top shot stoppers in Bob Wilson, Tim Howard and the most expensive goalkeeper of all time, Gianluigi Buffon. They discuss their feelings toward the position, the highs and lows they encountered, and the real reason they went for the gloves.Along with introducing a new shorts section, showcasing snippets of football culture and classic games to keep you occupied it's more than worth a read or two.

Available in store now and very soon online. Enjoy.

As much we enjoy the start of a new season which means lots of deliveries, madness and excitement, almost a very belated Christmas, it's pretty clear that Winter has no intention of ending anytime soon with the weather being its coldest so far. While its bitter outside, we were more than happy with the new arrival of knitwear offering by the latest installment of the Beacon Heritage Collection by Barbour and Tokihito Yoshida. Having only introduced knitwear into the collection for Autumn/Winter 2011, building on its initial success has been warmly welcomed with a increased offering and keeping to the original ethos of drawing inspiration from the classic Barbour archives. The Hooded Half Zip one of the Beacon Heritage Collection's newcomers and its perfect for the British weather, this 100% cotton reverse knit sweater features a detachable herringbone twill hood with a 'worn in' aesthetic, half zip fastening, ribbed collar, hem and cuffs, tonal panel sleeve detailing and a concealed front pouch chest pocket. A great layering option that will take you into Spring no sweat.
