Tom from Chemical in Bristol turns us onto an article on Vice written by Douglas Hart of Jesus & The Mary Chain on one of the last remaining “Old Boy” shoe shops in London – Men’s Traditional Shoes. “I can remember the day I was taken to get my first pair of proper brogues. I was 13, and I was so excited I couldn’t sleep the entire night before. My mum took me to the local shoe shop, where I got a pair of dark brown full brogues. I can still remember the overwhelming smell of new leather and the rows of dark wood shelves crammed with shoeboxes. It was like heaven. Most of all I remember how amazing they felt on my feet and how amazing they made me feel. Thankfully, I still get that feeling when wearing a new pair of brogues.”

Gearing up for summer Lodger Footwear looks to the genteel past of the grass courts. Their “Tennis Shoe,” comes in off-white nubuck with all the true features of the original court shoes.

Tattoo magazines usually feature a lot of tattoos – as you’d expect. But where do you go from there? Tare Lugnt, a swedish magazine, have gone beyond the call of duty by making their third issue a tattoo. It’s a little extreme, to say the least, but it is an eye catching way of making a magazine. No word yet on what they’ll do for issue four.

Watch the making of Issue three after the jump.

Aside from being a great magazine, Men’s Non-No also have an online store (although ordering from it is still tricky for anyone in the western hemisphere). Among the pieces in the store is this Voyage by Wastetwice for The Superior Labour canvas tote bag. The canvas used is pretty thick and the handles and straps are leather so this piece is built to last. Get on your proxy or get it from Men’s Non-No.

N.D.C continue down a visvim-esque path with these ankle boots. The boat shoe style is one that’s seen many attempted remixes and it’s one that can easily go wrong. Thankfully, this takes the best part of the boat shoe and don’t over-complicate it by trying to add too much. Get these from the Corner.

Tres Bien styles up one of their locals with the latest in Spring gear from Our Legacy. As we previewed recently, there is a generous selection of out jackets for the season in the collection. One of our favorites is this Fittied “parka.” “UK-made fabric on British Millerain mills. Since the fabric is wax treated it will look better and better the more you use it, so wear it well. Lots of pockets on the front, a big hood and buttoning closing. Slim fit with narrow arms. Water repellent” Well done.

What we love about this lo-top Cotu sneaker from Superga is the blue contrasting white on the vulcanized sole. This canvas shoe is made from heavy duty indigo panels and should break in well during the spring and summer months. Rock it on the shores or the city. Available now from Oki-ni.
