At the beginning of this year a DM popped into the Long Shot inbox asking if we'd be interested in reworking some vintage Patagonia pieces. The answer (as it always is to such invitations) was a definite YES!

This is a story about a hat that I started making five years ago.

Over the past nine years we've produced samples and short runs of hats for a number of small and not so small brands. It's always a good chance to bounce ideas round with new people and try out new ideas and fabrics. It rarely involves international travel but then Armando got in touch.

Over the weekend of the 23 and 24 July 2022 we took part in a new 'Worn Wear' event at Patagonia's Manchester store. A two week window for donations ran up to the event and throughout the weekend we created 25 unique caps.

A Fairytale of New York

A Fairytale of New York

I started skateboarding in around 1988 and can clearly remember spending what seems like hours staring at the Shut Skates 'Shark' board on the wall of Split in the basement of the Liverpool Palace. Skateboarding and skate shops have been an essential part of my education and this film by Jeremy Elkin (featuring an original score by Large Professor) takes me right back to those times and what it felt like. Really wonderful stuff and seriously recommended!

What do you think of when someone mentions ‘Icons of Men’s Style’? Is it the items of clothing like the classic white T-shirt? US fishtail parka? Sailor beanie? Or is it the men wearing the clothes? Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, James Dean?

Last month, in yet another vain attempt to keep my children from bouncing off the walls, I asked my 8 year old daughter to shoot a look book for the new garment-dyed Bob and Gee hats. She bossed it despite having to use her 'old fella' as a model and she's now giving me Tik-Tok tutorials. We might just crack the "Youth Market" yet!
