There is that iconic Eighties Levi’s ad when Nick Kamen stripped down to his smalls entering Boxer shorts to the collective consciousness. But what few people knew was that Kamen was sporting Sunspel boxers, made by a 150-year-old firm based in Derbyshire.
Its that quiet heritage and pride in craft that set Sunspel apart from the rest. By sourcing exceptionally soft cottons such as Long Staple Egyptian Cotton, Sunspel produce some of the finest underwear and t-shirts around. Understated, unparallelled comfort and construction you can be sure of a product that's built to last. An art they have been practising since 1860, so its safe to say they know a thing or two when it comes to good quality clothing! We recently added Sunspel's 2 Button Front and Low Waist Boxer Shorts to the web-shop. Also a Superfine Low V Neck Tee. We also expect a delivery very soon of the some Outerwear Tee's in White, Black & Grey. And if you still needed any convincing, Sunspel was the choice attire of James Bond in Casino Royale, surely there is no better endorsement than that!?
Via selectism I came across the news that Folk have just opened their second store in Shoreditch, London. As alot of my buying goes on in the area, i hope to check out their new space while I'm over next month. Folk will be landing at Cloth for the first time very soon. I am personally really looking forward to having this label here for SS10. …On that note new deliveries should begin to arrive this month. I really feel this is going to be our strongest season yet at Cloth. We have great things to look forward to from our old favourites plus a few new labels like Folk to show you. 2010 is going to be great!
