We really don’t understand what’s going on anymore. It was dead sunny a few weeks ago, a glimmer of hope for Spring, we kept banging on about it, and then towards the back end of last week we woke up in Siberia. On the bright side, it’s not…
Yeah yeah, we know, we were raving on about Universal Works the other week. Well more’s arrived, and it’s even better. Joining the surplus of Spring party shirts from the Nottingham-based brand, we have some perhaps more appropriate layers for this weird time of the year. Lightweight Chore…
Paving the way for their Purple Mountain Observatory collection, the first two seasons from British outerwear label Carrier Goods were filled with absolute winners, from ice-dyed puffer jackets to some pretty heavy graphicwear, and the CG train isn’t slowing down. Purple Mountain Observatory brings with it some carryover…
Capsule number three of our Artist Series, where we work with local and northern creatives to release limited runs of graphic tees, is the closest to home for us. One of WCH’s in-house photographers and designers, Naomi Shepherd joined the team a little under two years ago, bringing…
It’s not sunny. It’s also not warm. It’s not even close, but Universal Works have come out with an exquisite run of short sleeve shirting, so we may as well pretend that spring is in full swing. Alongside the shirts, which come in an assortment of seersucker, oxford…
Still grey in the skies, and there’s apparently one more cold snap to go, but the arrival of some bright, flamboyant trail runners from HOKA ONE ONE has everyone at WCH a little optimistic for spring. The Mafate Speed 2 has landed in colourways reminiscent of a sweet…
Another week, another paragraph of us complaining about Lake District weather. We just about pip Denmark to the post when it comes to average rainfall, but the need for a decent, understated waterproof is still high in their home of Aarhus. The latest drop brings in some more…
We’re over the moon to announce that our Christmas bloat is finally beginning to recede, and we’re starting to get active again. Maybe not enough to construct a montage around Olivia Newton-John’s Physical, but we are planning some team climbs in the coming weeks, which means we were…
One perk about January, when it isn’t spilling down hailstones, is the low winter sun. Another perk is that the Langdale Pikes are always snowy, so if you don’t have the time or energy to traverse them, at the very least they’re satisfying to look at. If you’re…
January usually means one thing for us – warm weather gear tipping up at our warehouse door and us carrying it in under the sideways beating of rain. Thankfully we can always trust Dickies to wheel and deal us some heavyweight sweats, overshirts and workpants to keep the elements somewhat…
With the temperatures finally floating above freezing, it may be time to hang up the boots. However, with the weather still being all rainy and poury, American boot specialists Danner still have a trick up their sleeve with the Trail 2650 GTX silhouette. With a lightweight mesh upper,…
It’s been a little while, but it’s time for another update on our work with 1% For The Planet. We’ve spent the last few years donating 1% of all our Patagonia revenue towards restoring some of Cumbria’s ancient woodlands. Previously we’ve bashed bracken as it puts other flora…
