Tee for two?



With festivals now very much on the horizon, both 5 day sessions (Glasto) and the likes of East Londons all dayer (Field Day) It's time to think ahead pick out some appropriate wears. Although Glastonbury is traditionally a Mud bath, in more ways than one... It's always best to have something to change into that you havn't scoped out from the bottom draw. I've picked out two of my favourate Tee's that will be getting alot of love this Festival season....


Starting with the cloud tee from Scottish originating label Folk. I nabbed this when it first hit the shelves as i thought it would be perfect for warmer months and when out on those long sun-drenched weekend sessions... It's quite a strange fit if truth be told and i had to take it back twice for a better fit. I settled on a size 2 which in Folk terms is a size medium, however this can be misleading as a size 3 in Knitwear/cardigans is of the same deimentions. I like the design, quite unusual and Royal blue is always a winner. The neck is quite wide but i guess thats the summery look that they're going for. Also available in a rather dandy "Multi" colourway, a tidy addition for the fifty bar paid.

The other Tee i've picked is from Paul Smith diffusion line R.Newbold. I love R.Newbold stuff, it's just scarse to acquire unless you're on the ball with Oi Polloi or can speak Japanese. I was lucky enough to get this the first day it came online on Manc based Oi Polloi and was extremely happy with the purchase. I'm bit of a sucker for a nautical inspired look and this ticks the right boxes. Effortlessly cool, with a slight twist of the top stripe in warning red. This is something that i'll no doubt wear into the groud over the coming months. The material is quite heavy for a t-shirt but the quality is in abundance.
