Heritage Research Mountain Jacket


Can't believe I've not mentioned Oi Polloi yet! Robin Hood's Merry Men and United's 92-94 home shirt are both effortlessly channelled in this piece from focus group wet-dream brand Heritage Research. Never let aesthetics inhibit historical accuracy. A/W11 will see an obsession with Cromwell and all things puritan dominate the catwalks. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST. Sure to be a collectors item for all Captain Oates obsessives and time travelling US seamen out there. Oi Polloi.

5 questions for....

....Padraig Harrington

In the first of a new series of features we get one on one with the industries key players and performers. Our debut guest is Padraig Harrington, creator of the ubiquitous menswear classic that shares his name.

1. How's it going Padraig?
PH: Grand Cheers.

2. How did you come up with such a distinct style? The one glove look in particular is catching on.
PH: It goes with the day job, I suppose, born out of practicality really. That and my sponsors. The glove stops me straining my wrist off the tee.

3. Ah so it's work wear inspired! What are your tips for spring/summer?
PH: Well obviously Tiger's back so that's really put the cat amongst the pigeons! I fancy my chances at St. Andrew's, it'd obviously be an honour to win there.

4. Animal print is going to be everywhere indeed. Tartan never goes away either does it! Are you surprised at the Harrington's resurgence recently?
PH: I wouldn't call it a resurgence to be honest. I think I've made a concerted effort to remodel my game and am yet to really realise the full results. My form is off if anything.

5. Modest as ever. Finally does it annoy you that Steve McQueen often gets the credit for popularising your design?
PH: Excuse me?

Pretty Green Pique Polo

OK breathe. Breathe deeply. Don't panic our kid. The talented brother has quit the band. How will you maintain the primrose hill lifestyle now? Shit! Adidas are paying that cunt off! What if I rip-off Stockport's other famous son and a subculture I have already rinsed for all it's worth. Not like a lack of originality ever stopped me before! Sorted our kid. Hip.
