Over recent years there has been a surge in 'designer dogs'. From handbag dogs such as Chihuahuas and Pugs to hybrids such as Jackabees and Labradoodles. The list of fashionable pooches has been neverending as of recent.

However there is a new designer dog on the loose - Menswear Dog. A fantastic blog from New York which features some of the best rig outs styled by the owner's Shiba Inu. So if you're in need of a little break from work or just a laugh; why not head over and check out this stylish dog's best outfits.

(Insert 'Who Let The Dogs Out' joke)

Not too long ago our store manager Lee spent the day with good friends of the store Steve Halsall and Rob Wilkinson to curate a short film as part of a series we have planned to feature on the Weavers Door website, blog and further. Our first in the short film series features Lee on his Sunday wander to the store on his bike companion Florence (The Weavers Door bicycle), Lee makes his way from the Camp and Furnace on Greenland Street, in the ever inspiring Baltic triangle and explores only some of Liverpool's great architecture highlights in particular the Anglican Cathedral before having a refreshing stop at Host Restaurant (Recently featured in the Weavers Door Journal, Issue 2), one of our favourite places to eat in the city. Lee finishes his cycle at the store, which if you haven't found before is on Harrington Street, fitting street name we know considering we champion authentic heritage menswear. Lee wears the Oliver Spencer donkey jacket in bbberton grey, Oliver Spencer button down oxford in Torside Red, Universal Works Japanese Flower Scarf, Edwin Japan ED-55 Quartz denim jeans in lumber wash and Grenson Stanley brogue shoes in tan with Dainite soles

We would like to thank both Steve and Rob for their free time, commitment and creativity which allowed us to curate this short film and forward to the next in the series.

We can't stop listening to friend of the store Dan Croll's From Nowhere. It has taken centre stage in this week's in-store playlist.

Last Thursday we hosted our first denim evening along with our good friends at EDWIN Japan, the concept of the evening, well putting it simply we wanted to help anyone who find's it a difficult and time consuming task to find the perfect pair of jeans for them, as an individual. We put ourselves in the minds of our customers and realised how hard it must be to find a well cut, good fitting jean let alone it being the right weight or denim, type of wash and have the detailing each of us look for specifically when looking for that replacement for the trustworthy jean that has served you well but has also seen better days.

A thank you goes out to everyone who braved the torrential rain and attend the denim evening, while being in good company we found everyone had a good natter about the indigo stuff with the store team and the denim expert himself Jack who represented the Japanese denim brand EDWIN Japan. Along with helping with fits and finishes we had Japanese beer, Sushi,  Hotdogs and Mulled Wine to keep everyone well fed and watered.

The highlight of the evening goes to the brilliant EDWIN Japan behind the scenes video's that cover the ethos and craftsmanship that normually goes unseen behind such a humble heritage denim label. A congratulations goes out to David who entered the EDWIN Japan competition and answered the the question correctly with 'Rainbow Selvage@ to win himself a pair of authentic ED-71 Dry Red Selvage Denim's plus a not available to buy limited EDWIN Japan tote bag on the night. A big thankyou also goes to Will and Liam of The Sample who covered the evening and got all the brilliant photos above and below.

Not only did the lads at The Sample cover our 1^st Birthday party and get some brilliant snaps of the event with us celebrating reaching the landmark of an amazing first year in business, they were also kind enough to get snaps of our after party which followed the main event at our Liverpool Store on Harrington Street. To carry on the evening’s celebrations our friends and customers joined us at Santa Chupitos, a fantastic cocktail bar which can be found on the corner of Parr Street and Slater Street, be warned its not the easiest to find so look hard, it’s well worth it. Santa Chupitos (or the saint of little drinks) joined us in the Birthday spirit by offering everyone a special cocktail on the evening for one night only, it just so happened to be called “The Weavers Door” consisting of St Germain, Gin, Lime, Bitters, Ting and Soda Cream. The taste was refreshing, clean and went down easy, I know this too well as after having ten cocktails without any touching the sides.

Again, we thank all our friends and customers who lasted the distance and came to us to Santa Chupitos, to the lads at The Sample who got some great snaps of the after party celebrations which were in full swing into the early hours and to Santa Chupitos were good enough to host the after party, if you haven’t found yourself sipping their cocktails and dancing away to their resident DJ’s. Not found Santa Chupitos its well worth making a diversion on your next night out as there’s good times to be had!

As promised, we wanted to let everyone see the snaps of our 1st Birthday party and here they are, compliments of the lads at The Sample, well a snippet of the 1st Birthday event at our Liverpool Store on Harrington Street. We firstly wanted to thank all our good friends and customers who braved the ever unpredictable British weather and made an appearance to celebrate our landmark 1st Birthday. We enjoyed a fantastic evening with live music from THE LOUD and Johnny Sands while Amber Outside Catering kept us all well fed and watered with their amazing canapés.

We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and it was great to speak to everyone and get their thoughts on our first year in business, the becoming of Weavers Door was always focused about the birth of a menswear store offering the finest menswear apparel from “True Brands” who offer authenticity and quality which we believe in, the rich Heritage of our Brands is something that cannot be replicated, it is a history of skilled craftsmanship, exquisite construction and quality that we want to be able to tell the story behind them, and why we are proud to present them to our customers. 

We recently held our "LOCK IN & LOCKS OFF" Pop Up Barber Event with our good friend Master Barber Cass kindly spending the day and evening offering his fine services to all. Situated in our Liverpool Store situated on Harrington Street, a stone's throw away from the Cavern Club, the world famous music venue where the Beatles performed in the early days of their career.

The day, as you can probably tell from the snaps was a really enjoyable Saturday for all in store with Master Barber Cass offering Gentleman's haircuts and Traditional wet shaves throughout day and late into the evening, where the chopping of locks and trimming of chins was accompanied by discounted clobber and complimentary alcoholic beverages and banter. A big thank you goes out to all that attended the day and evening of the "LOCK IN & LOCKS OFF" as the event was great fun and enjoyable throughout, we have already have the next Pop Up Barber Event planned in the pipe line so please feel free to contact us at info@weaversdoor.com, call us on 0151-236-6001 or be kept up to date with the latest information on our facebook or twitter.
