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…

Kit, like decent clobber. That took all day to come up with. Every now and then you just need a bit of a silly adventure and rock-hopping our way up steam was a good way to kill an afternoon. It was made better by the fact that Dickies…

Following our beanie-jacket collaboration back in October, we’ve spent this winter season in awe at the waterproof greatness which Rab delivers. Sometimes, however (and granted, in the Lakes they’re rare) you get a day when it isn’t hammering down blistering rain – it’s just really, really cold. That’s…

Founded way back when in 1976, Vision Street Wear were at the forefront of skate culture, one of the first brands to specifically cater to riders and the community during the Z Boys era, and later sponsoring the legendary Mark Gonzales. After a quiet couple decades, their big,…

On an average day in the W.C.H. office, if you layered up all of our tees back to back the result would be ballistic protection more effective than kevlar. We love a thick, heavyweight jersey – so much so that we’ve decided to weave together a few of…
