United Arrows - A dude!

Went to United Arrows the other day and was chatting to a guy who just looked mega! In the showroom today, flicking through a magazine and there he is!

Domingo Denim window

A little peek in our showroom!

Just been a few hours at the Maiden showroom. We sampled a big collection but for the purpose of editing down to a concise view of Albam. It is coming but it takes time!

On my way!

Bags are packed and checked in! Sitting with TM at the airport waiting to head over to Tokyo. There should be a hefty number of posts coming in when I land!

The English Sweatshirt

Getting ready for Japan is a busy process. They demand more from a brand than most which is the best way to raise the game but it takes a concerted effort. Our sweatshirt is currently in it's 4th or 5th evolution with about 4 more to go before we have got the best out of Englands finest!

The story is great and the product is quite exciting as it is the only machine to our knowledge in the UK. If all goes to plan we may have them in the store before Christmas, even we will have to wait and see!

Albam Workwear sharpens up.

Just another image of the Tie going up on the site as part of a mini revamp. Bow tie, and new fabrics coming.

The Queens English

Some of our factories has a picture of Steve McQueen on his wall which is a great choice in the style stakes. But another one of our Great British factories has a grand picture of HRH. We re proud to make in this country and we think Steve is great so we are in good company when we are greeted by these images to remind us that style is eternal and keeping our manufacturing here is a great thing!

The Albam Tie

I don't think many of us have worn ties for a long time but sometimes there is a need to be just the right side of smart without trying to hard. This could be it. David found a tie he has had passed down through his family for the last 50years. Today he brought down to London the Albam version of this tie made by Ray in his "atelier/studio". Making something quite specialist in this artisanal manner has given us something quite special.

Slightly asymetrical end and made to be an exact replica of the original, the first sample is in our Chambray and there will be more additions to the neckwear range. They will be up here first!

RaceLite bike in store

One of our customers popped by the store with his new bike today. A RaceLite compact geometry track bike just looked fantastic! He was asking about Black selvedge denim jeans aswell, more and more of our customers are asking for these and this is something we are working on, so if there are any others who would like a pair, let us know and we can get some made up.

Swiss Army backpack in the store

Just as I was walking out of the Beak Street store, one of our customers popped in to say hi and he had on the most fantastic Swiss Army backpack, this is taster of our backpack we are sampling. Based on the same bag, kind of good fortune if one of our customers is wearing this.

His Albam Classic Slim jeans were also looking pretty good.
