As part of an article about the use of colour in your summer wardrobe, Lee Holmes at the Independent picked out our Armstrong in Dust Blue.  Quick word of warning these are not to be worn with the yellow top man suit that is on the front of the article.

Now if ever there was an appropriate band to be wearing some our clothes then it would be these lads.  New age Folk band Mumford and Sons did a nice photo shoot in last Sunday’s Observer and our AZ cardi makes a little appearance on the left here.   It was nicely entitled “Folk Tales”.

Ethan Hawke popped into the shop a couple of months ago with director Pawel Pawlikowski to pick up some clothes for his new film, “Woman in the fifth” that he’s filming in Paris at the moment.   It was nice to see he was head to toe in Folk in these pics (apart from the jacket).  Our Slim trouser, Finlay shoe, Band Belt, elbow patch shirt and waffle knit crew and mr hawke on big screens next year.

Our friend Ben was there to take a few photies.

If you hadn’t heard already we’ve just opened a shop in shop in Amsterdam in Cowboys 2 Catwalk.    The store is one of the best menswear stores in Holland with a rich mix of brands so we were delighted when they asked us to take over a floor in the store.   The space is small but we’ve made it our own with little touches such as old wear boards from a pottery factory in North England, a few pieces of furniture that we designed in-house and one of the best selections of Folk outside of our own stores.

 So if your in Antwerp (which is well worth a couple of days of pottering about), have a look….
