Clarks x 6876 Desert Boot

Late last year we featured the incredible collaboration between Clarks and 6876 and looked in detail at these crepe sole masterpieces(http://aficionadomagazine.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/clarks-x-6876.html). The reason why we've done this post just for the Desert Boot is because the price has been revised on them over at the 6876 webstore, which means you can purchase a pair for £75 - superb value, and at the time of writing almost a full size range left - so quick, go and treat yourself to a pair!

SALE PICKS #2: Universal Works

As we're long term admirers of Nottingham's Universal Works we felt it only right to feature our favourite sale items from the brand. It was tough narrowing it down to three but after much tea drinking and scratching of heads we made the following choices:

Dundee Jacket - Navy Matt Nylon

It could be the collar, the cuffs or the buttons - but we just think this an ace jacket. Versatile - you could layer it or wear it is a standalone jacket, it ticks all the boxes and of course you can't go wrong with quality of the Universal Works outerwear range so you know you're onto a winner.

Fatigue Pant - Navy Twill

Fatigue pants seem to be the trouser of the moment - if there is such a thing. It's easy to see why they are so popular, though. Comfort - they won't suffocate your waist or your legs, and these sit really well with boots, or trainers. Oh, and they're made using UW's special Twill.

Workshop Denim Worker Shirt - Indigo Chambray

Proper bit of shirtage for't lads, or lasses, here. From the top quality Workshop Denim range - the worker shirt is right up our street - couple of sizeable yet neat front pockets and a nice deep shade of chambray. And we haven't even mentioned that it was manufactured in London using some pretty special machinery.

Arpenteur Ligne Claire Walker Print Tee

One of the coolest tees we've seen, Arpenteur got these particulary tees spot on - in our opinion. And you can't go wrong with a grey tee especially not with that print.
