The One That Got Away...... by Shaun Dangerfield

Over the year's of buying fine thread's and footwear i must have missed out on over one hundred item's that i was hoping to get my mitt's on.... so around 2 year's ago i started a notebook and listed into it everything that i would take a fancy to, and a date by the side of all the designer's i have listed where that season's preview will be knocking around... just to make sure i picked up what whatever i was after.
However with the ever increasing number of new, unique & fresh label's that come out you can sometime's miss that all important first batch of clothing from said new brand, or the first proper year after a settling in period, this year i was lucky (or eager) enough to get everything on the list, almost like my own personal ongoing christmas........ apart from one thing.
Norsea Industries, a label from the north of england that seem's dedicated in churning out well made british clothing with a modern edge, first hitting the u.s in the middle of spring summer 2009 a whole year ago.
With the first collection being quite camp with nautical influences it was a/w 2009/10 that saw it bring out some key very nice piece's including at the time an overhead canvas cagoule called the Rudda, it was nice enough but was re-released this spring summer 2010 with slight modification's and what a turn out they delivered, i was a little slow on the buzzer and missed out on my size from one of only two places who stocked it, not addicted & daniel jenkin's in monmouth, tired of mailing norsea ind' i have admitted defeat and finally realised i have to let it go..... but not before showing you in all it's glory, here's hoping to it's re-re-release.....
