By now I must have lost count of how many times I’ll be out in the yard chopping wood with my axe to retire to the drawing room, taking a seat in front of the fire in my large leather lounge chair. It is a good way to spend an evening, that is true. However, it does bring life to my winter quandary. That is, what can I wear that is both manly and sturdy enough to do some wood chopping in, yet stylish and comfortable enough to recline into my chair for an evening of deep contemplation, whiskey drinking and pipe smoking? The Lab can provide the answer this winter, Carhartt. We have just received a whole big delivery of pants, jackets, knits, shirts, tees and other good things. There are too many things to list, so a visit to The Lab might be just what you need. Thankfully with that mystery solved we can spend those long winter evening contemplating the worlds other mysteries.

The warmth in the air is dwindling, the sun is going down earlier and soon the trees with shed their leaves for their winter slumber. Autumn is a magical time of year. Mr Simple has stepped it up once again with his first drop of autumn gear. We have a whole bunch of super nice shirts, the Marshall Track Jacket has been revamped and is back better than ever. This season also sees the introduction of the Hampden Parka and the Ascot Knit. So drop the marshmallows in the cocoa, fall into that beanbag and stoke the fire, it’s going to be a long winter.

Herschel’s spring 2012 lookbook contained some nice pictures. Now, through the magic of film, Herschel have created a moving picture version of said lookbook, and here it is! Don’t forget that the whole range is available in store and online, but only while stocks last. Get ready, we’re about to go adventuring!
