Update on the new shop, BT are installing our phone lines next week, which means we could be moving the following week, we won't count our chickens just yet. More London trips again this week, but not too many more. The deliveries are coming in thick & fast, 'what's in the box?' is our new favourite game, sounds shit, but it's not when you know what's in them. We've managed to open a few & it's time to let you know 'What's in the box?' Enough nonsense...we'll get on with it.

First out of the box this week is Our Legacy, for such a young label, they do everything so well. We can see they have a fondness for Ralph & APC they've managed to blend the two together and come up with something of their own. It's quite preppy but pared down, simplified neat shapes, fitted but not tight (or too fashion). We like their sweats, they're not super heavyweight (you probably don't want that for summer anyway) & the colours are great. With the chinos the same rules apply, well made, good colours & the fits are ace. Finally the shirts are mainly button downs, but they've got their own take on it, the collar shapes are great. We've gone for check, chambrays & oxfords. If you're looking for some simple understated additions to your wardrobe, you can do a lot worse than Our Legacy.

The cat got out of the box (bag) a little early on the Woolen Mills by Woolrich front (sorry if we've already sold out of the item you're after). We're trying to get some more as we speak...what can we say? Actions speak louder than words, so do pictures, check this lot out in the Woolen Mills by Woolrich section, we're guessing some of you have already had a right good butchers.

Penfield is back & it's looking better now than we ever remember it looking. Does that make any sense? We know what we mean. We noticed massive leaps forward over the past couple of seasons in the design & the quality of the clobber they're now making, it's up there with some of the best. They have even re-introduced one of the, all time Brit Pop classic jackets, as worn by none other than one of Burnage's finest sons Noel Gallagher (and if you don't know who he is, ask your dad). It's the Red & White Pac Jac. Then there's the two tone Vassan jacket. This is not that dissimilar to one of our Woolrich jackets we've had in this season. Penfield are producing some amazing jackets that sell for the same price as some of the shirts we stock. You need to get on this sharpish, before they realise & start to jack up the prices. Take a look in the Penfield section.

The flood gates got well and truly kicked in this week, you'd better make yourself comfortable, its going to be a big one, we've got loads more to go. Ding ding round two... Norse Projects second delivery, the Classic Blazer in French Mustard, Dark Green & Universal Blue, the zip up Bomber in Dusty Green, Dark Navy, jackets, jacket, jackets, you know it's most important part of any mans wardrobe. Talks cheap & so are these jackets, we'll shut up now & you can look. After the jacket, shirts are quite important & striped T-shirts, we've got them all covered. Got to hand it to them, these Danes are pretty good.

Bonjour, here come the French, with the best selection of eco friendly footwear available on the planet, Veja. There's a new kid on the block & his name is Indigenos (with a name like that he might get bullied, but not when he looks this good). This is one of the best shaped mid cut suede shoes we've ever seen. We have been thinking, the French & Oi Polloi both seem to have an almost unhealthy interest in brown suede shoes, we both must have been subjected to a leather shoe trauma when we were very young (we blame K's scuff proof shoes for kids). Maybe in France parents were subjecting their kids to a similar trauma, just a thought, maybe we need to stop thinking & get on with it, (too much coffee consumed whilst writing this). We've just had new deliveries of the all Black & all White leather Taua & the canvas in Navy & Ocean Blue.

Bringing up the rear in the new stock race, it's Ray-Ban. We've just had another delivery of the classic Wayfarer in Tortoise/brown, the Folding Wayfarer & the small sized Caravan. Suns out, quick get a pair on so you can cool & stuff.

We've had a little bit of a re-stock from Universal works, its the Work Jacket & the Chambray shirt. The Clarks Desert Khan is back in both colours, these are the last few pairs (be quick) we can't get anymore.

Calm yourself, because next week we've got our Yuketen delivery going live, a mega new jacket from Mr Nigel Cabourn & it's only £259 (maybe that is a mistake), new season stock from YMC... sunglasses from Han & hats from Grevi.

See you next week
Oi Polloi


Our Legacy is one of the most exciting brands we've come across in the last few years. Swedish designers and co-founders Cristopher Nying and Jockum Hallin "redefine the classic men´s wardrobe in a light and comfortable manner, a well dressed contemporary look made to appear thrown together in a perfectly natural and confident way. The use of Italian, British and Portugese fabrics adds a heritage feeling, like a classic garment from your grandfathers wardrobe, slightly remodeled to fit our life and our time."

Our Legacy is classic preppy with a subtle contemporary twist. Sitting comfortably alongside brands like APC, Ralph, MHL and Nom De Guerre...
