SOCK IT TO 'EM...

























Hands off cocks, on socks, as they say in the Army.
A requirement for any feet unless you live in Barbados or somewhere equally silly hot. And why stick with plain white or black shit when you can add a bit of pizazz to your hoofs? 

This winter we've got some more offerings, nine different designs in total and three different gift box styles too. Lot's of socks of the happy variety from Swedish sock connoisseurs Happy Socks. So tart up your feet with some added flash. It's a random bunch as different as the next and not one but three different special limited edition gift boxes, for loved ones, parents or special friends, who also appreciate that what;s under the fancy footwear is as equally an important part of your attire.

They'll be online early Friday AM!
Please note these will be shipped on Monday 1st December. TC

NEVER FORGET...
































Anthem for Doomed Youth

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
      — Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
      Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells; 
      Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,—
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
      And bugles calling for them from sad shires.

What candles may be held to speed them all?
      Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes
Shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes.
      The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;
Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,
And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.

CONNOISSEUR X TUKTUK - ACES!


















































The ongoing collaboration with tuktuk sees a lovely pair of winter warmers.
We like to give everything a name and with the Fargo-alike theme to these we went with Minne and Sota. See what we did there? Winter wouldn't be winter without a proper Flannel shirt, we have two superb tartans on offer this year. 
The Red and Green combo 'Minne' and the Multi tartan check 'Sota' both come with a button down collar, top pocket with dual branded tab and two bottom utility pockets for keeping your hands warm, all topped off with Mother of Pearl buttons on the same shirt block as previous. Aces!


Rather limited numbers available from both tuktuk and ourselves. From Tuesday evening 7pm GMT TC
