We’re slowly getting there. Sun’s out more, bluebells are popping up across the Lakes, and Shepard Fairey’s OBEY has provided us with a woven Floral polo. I’d say that’s enough Spring vibes to officially call it. The world-famous artist’s clothing label has been an intrinsic part of the…

Continuing the momentum we seem to have at the moment regarding the waterproof jacket and shorts combo, we’d like to welcome Montane to the WCH family. A heritage outerwear label, Montane have been about since the 1990s, innovating techy gear for those who need the best, such as…

Last week saw a massive drop of spring-ready good stuff from Arc’teryx. We’re talking British spring, by the way, so gigantic heaps of GORE-TEX, complimented by shorts, caps and tees. It’s still cold out but we’re verging on Easter, dammit, so if like us you feel the urge…

Don’t ask us why, but one week ago we were wearing shorts and tees and this week it’s been snowing for some reason. A good bit of luck that we’ve just received some layers from Japanese outdoor company Snow Peak, lightweight, just the right amount of coverage for…

If you follow Friday Vibes, or any of WCH’s personal Instagrams, or simply live in Ulverston, you may have noticed that we spend 80% of our free time in a wonderful spot called Beerwolf. Well, a big evil giant who’s name rhymes with Swineken has decided to steal…

For the past three years we’ve been donating 1% of all Patagonia revenue towards Yvon Chouinard’s 1% For The Planet, putting the money to good use in our local area through working with Cumbria Woodlands to restore and maintain the Lake District’s natural forests. So far we’ve bashed…

When you think of a beach day you imagine the temperatures hitting the mid 20°s, shorts and all that. The sunshine would lead you to believe it’s ice cream weather but in fact we were battling some pretty hefty northern winds coming over the Irish Sea. We came…

We’ve been decking ourselves out in Norse Projects’ Danish finery for years now, and our favourite capsule by far is their ongoing work with GORE-TEX. Waterproof silhouettes are a must in the Lakes, so their Nunk GTX was a welcome arrival, along with their new Ursand Windbreaker which uses…

Unfortunately, the days at the moment are a bit too grim to put the Levi’s Skate Cordura blend to the test, falling off pavements and sliding down half-pipes, but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate the heritage silhouettes they’re serving. Our collection from the iconic denim company features…

And when we say Spring what we actually mean is a massive fleece, a canvas overshirt and weatherproof cargo pants. Still, if you’re forward planning your Spring fits then the first drop of the year also includes some shorts and a lovely collection of graphic tees, with…

It causes panic and upset in the W.C.H. Camp every single February when floral short-sleeves numbers begin to arrive. We want to wear them, we want to talk about them, but it’s still dead cold. Even in the North, we aren’t quite ready to get the forearms out.…

Let’s just ignore the fact that it’s still 5° and possibly the windiest it’s been all Winter. The sun is out and we might as well make the most of it. Timing itself well with the sunshine is the first part of Carhartt WIP’s Spring collection, which features…
