The Sergio Tacchini summer collection.....

Although a little late, the high street has now tapped into the current "casuals" resurgence. Styles that were made iconic in the 80's and 90's are back on the shelves of Britain and I have to say, they do look well. New instore this week is the latest offering from Sergio Tacchini, and also good to see they are offering the independent retailers like ourselves a different collection to the main line.

Here's a little taste of what's on offer..........

Sir Track Master jacket Italian blue

Sir Track Master jacket Optical white/purple

Many athletes have joined the Sergio Tacchini brand over the years. Most of them are well-known tennis players from the 1970s and 1980s such as Jimmy Connors, Vitas Gerulaitis, Ilie Nastase, Mats Wilander, John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Sergi Bruguera, Pat Cash, Gabriela Sabatini, Pete Sampras, Martina Hingis and Goran Ivanišević when he won the Wimbledon title. A little less known is that they also worked with sporting super stars like Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna and the golfer Ian Woosnam.

Slow day in Bolton for some of us

Well yesterday was the much publicized EDL march in the town centre, as a result the shopping was slow to say the least. With the huge police presence and many of the roads around the main shopping areas blocked off, many retailers in the town closed for the day and boarded over windows in anticipation of trouble. I have to say we didn't see any trouble, but having said that we didn't see much of anything, the vans, horses and helicopter saw to that.






All was not lost though as the small number of customers that did come were only too happy to make a purchase, happy days. The 1st thing to go Supremebeing Dixi jacket (seen here) and Scotch & soda t shirt, bring on the summer.

Obey spring/summer T's arrive

The "Lead By Example" ADOPT image is a powerful one and it is my hope that this new print will give people a way to advocate for these animals and show their support for pet adoption." -Shepard Fairey

Look who's back in town.............Slazenger Heritage Gold

Slazenger, favoured by such golfing luminaries as Sean Connery in Goldfinger, Bing Crosby and the incomparable Severiano Ballesteros, the Spaniard who switched a whole generation of youngsters onto the game in his swashbuckling prime, was one such brand.

Those of you more our age will remember the classic track top worn in the Parklife video by Damon Albarn.

To start the ball rolling we have a selection of polo's and old school bags (with internal laptop pouch) http://www.solefoodshop.com/Slazenger_Heritage_Gold_s/230.htm

For the Open Championship at St Andrews, Slazenger will reissue the iconic dark blue lambswool V-neck worn by Ballesteros in his pomp, and YES we will be getting them in,along with the Goldfinger V-neck and Bings blue cardigan.
