Hackett Brompton Super Gingham Shirt
Remember that series a few years ago, British Style Genius? Remember when that old skin talked about the size of your checks being directly correlated to your clout in the skinhead world? Well, the Brompton ’Super Gingham’ from Hackett takes that claim to task. Yes these checks are enormous but work so well for summer. Complete with a button down collar, Hackett nails it again with their no nonsense sportswear.

Stone Roses - Made of Stone Official Trailer
Well, this comes as a pleasant surprise on a Wednesday morning, I must say. The always insightful and just plain fabulous, Shane Meadows (This Is England, Somer’s Town) has finished cutting his latest project, ‘The Stone Roses - Made of Stone.’ The title pretty much says it all.

Two Thirds for Saint James Breton Collection
Like those Keds on the shelf or your best cut chinos, breton stripes continue to be one of the finest unisex patterns for summer 2013. And when we speak of the classic nautical theme, we must acknowledge the masters of breton, Saint James. However, this collection gets an ethical nod from San Sabastien’s label, TwoThirds. Apparently these are woven using ”Ecotech” manufacturuing which sees recycled yarn, woven into fresh, sustainable and undoubtedly stylish clob.
We here at Proper Clobber have taken a bit of heat in the last month or so, for not being more active with our posts. First off, thanks to all of our readers for their iron clad patience. I’ve been in the process of buying and renovating a house. Yes, yes, “exuses, excuses” you say.
Well on that note we are back with avengence. We’ve got lots of gear to talk about this week plus we’re coming to NYC tomorrow… all kinds of craziness.
To kick things off, hows about this “dark sand” harrington from beloved Brits, Lyle & Scott. In their own words, they havn’t really F’ed with the timeless design one bit. Instead, they focus their energy on ensuring all the enduring details of this jacket are done to perfection. Choosing a gingham lining as their finishing touch, this back vented, cuffed classic has enough of it’s own personality to warrent a purchase.
The Lyle and Scott harrington is part of the “vintage”collection.
