As history goes... the term "Casual" is used very loosely these day's, keeping football casual as a root will never see you far wrong in my humble opinion.
Thing's change, thing's move on & people move on, at the end of the day that's what the original casual scene was about, fast moving lot's of change's & various look's. i alway's have a good nose at the internet and see what's happening, what's about and where people are going to next just because i am interested, the football has had it's day let's face it, it's nothing what it was and never will be again, so many are stuck in a rut and so many are doing what they have alway's done... there's nothing wrong with that before anyone think's it's being slated, it's just that there is so much more out there, the bigger the casual tree inside you, the deeper your root's and the more you can branch off, i think you move with what whatever it is your into, be it music, narcotic's, fashion or football without trying to sound too corny and before i get into what sound's like a preacher man delivering his sermon on a sunday afternoon.. it's all about change and a natural progression.
With so many good label's knocking around these day's it's hard to not delve into them, and rightly so, spoilt for choice on what to pick up with my hard earned & that can only be a good thing, below my friend Saul has taken the mighty quoddy out of my sweaty palm's before i could get in on it and rave on about the outstanding grizzly boot, but as i said with so much to rival it's all good, my passion for clothing and footwear is at it's highest height's and it's only going one way, lot's of inspiration out there, the industrial look which imho has fused into a joint affair with workwear, and the top end casual market, label's bringing out so many good thread's they should be locked up, with spring summer coming to an end i am finishing off the last of the buy's before the a/w step's out in a week or two, looking forward to woolrich woolen mill's last season of daiki suzuki as he step's out and take's full control of engineered garment's leaving the talented mark mcnairy at the helm of woolen mill's, exciting times & who know's where he will take it, joined by the mighty heritage research, haversack, garbstore, nigel cabourn, post overall's, ts(s), albam, trickers, quoddy, folk, norse proj', oliver spencer, universal work's, yuketen, mark mcnairy, and so many other's i just can't wait to see what good's they are churning out.
Plenty of branches on this tree and theyve got their greedy bark all over these last piece's before august turn's out......
Meg company's Santo Domingo boot hand crafted in mexico, these are definately an acquired taste and probably not for most, but i fell for them, i fell for them like a chunky boned fella stumbling into his first gregg's bakery, vibram sole unit, brown and navy suede, multi coloured stitching, vegetable tanned leather....
