One of the best things about social media is the friends we make, and the relationships that come out of it. I met the gang from Harry Stedman just over a year ago - does anyone remember when they visited us up in Blackpool?
- and since then we've kept in touch, and become pretty decent buddies.
What started as a working relationship has turned into pints down the
local pub, working on small
projects, and visiting one of the original cities that the brand takes its main
inspiration from. Liverpool.
The Harry Stedman brand is based on, and inspired by a working class hero; a traveller, military hand, labourer and true inspiration - and was created by his son + grandson, Phil + Rick. We visited Harry's hometown of Liverpool (Harry now happily retired in my hometown of Blackpool, Lancashire), to explore some of the places where Harry may have visited as a kid. The AW15 collection takes inspiration from Harry's time spend at the dockyards of the UK, and his time spent working in New York; with Ivy League-influenced varsity jackets + sweats, hard-wearing harrington, deck jackets + smocks, work shirts, and heavy jersey layers.
The current Harry Stedman collection is available here. Also see our Independent Guide to Liverpool.

Liverpool is a beautiful place, and really varied in architecture styles. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteIt's all just so good, and even though I was just borrowing the gear it felt like it was nice. You ever get up to Liverpool?
ReplyDeleteThey're a really interesting brand, based in Hackey Downs. The quality is off the hook, with traditional fits and thought behind the designs. Cheers Aaron.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots - especially love that green / camel bomber!
