WEIR 4.

This year's installment of our cult Weir ski hat is almost upon us, we've been asked and asked about the colours, the release date etc, and can now announce the first three colours will be released on Dec 5.
Now into the fourth year and already passing ten colour variations it's fair to say trying to pick this years colour scheme was a harder task than you may think. We feel we've done pretty well again with three colourways which really go together, with a great vibrant mix of old school cool, the great outdoors and classic colours that just work as a team.
As always these are deliberately limited numbers and there's another three colours due for a later release, plus as per last year - another special edition pattern version. Watch this space. CD

THIS IS ENGLAND 88.

A look at the next installment of Shane Meadows' This Is England series, as you can probably tell by the pictures it's shifted to nearly a couple of years from where it left off in 1988, I believe this is to be shown on telly and on the big screen though I may be wrong there, then concluding with a 90's version sometime later.

NÆSS HAT OUT NOW.

The Connoisseur x Our Culture Næss bucket hat is now available, a heavy cotton twill hat which we think defies the usual seasons, coming Navy and Sand with four exclusive button badges, custom manufactured and limited to less than one hundred pieces each, priced at £34 you'll struggle to get a better hat in our most humble opinion.
With air ventilation, pockets for your Snus and duel embroidered branding. Whether it's the sun, the rain, festivals, fishing or just being cool as fuck, we think this is the perfect shape and fit. The Næss hat takes it's name from the late Norwegian mountaineer, philosopher and ecologist Arne Næss. CD

CONNOISSEUR CREATIVE COMPETITION.

Late September we set an interesting competition for any budding artists or illustrators out there to design us a new tee, the brief was the honest New York cop and all round cool cat Frank 'Paco' Serpico, one of our fave silver screen icons, or at least the character portrayed by big Al himself.
We had a great response, with some excellent artwork coming through from as near as Glossop and Leigh to as far as Stockholm and Melbourne. We now have to decide between ourselves and pick the winner which we will release as a brand new tee, early next year. In the meantime here's a look at the entries...
