How many more paydays until Christmas? Three if you’re lucky. If you’re anything like us, you’ll remain relaxed until about 23rd December. After that you’ll run around the…

Bought a flat, got married, turned 30, joined the Campaign for Real Ale and became addicted to Countryfile – there is no escaping from the fact my life has gone all grown up. The times, “they are a changing” (see I’ve even started listening to Bob Dylan) the transition has also been reflected in my appearance. The wardrobe consists of more shoes not trainers, knitwear not sportswear, durable wax coats not sports jackets FFS I’ve even started wearing bobble hats.
Our new old mate Carl at The Original Store worded us up about this a good few weeks ago now. This was inbetween us collectively putting the world to rights and discussing “what comes next” in terms of clothing.

Heritage Research remain a firm favourite at Proper Towers. We thought we’d share a few of their standout items for Spring/Summer over the coming days, starting with this new/improved Longline Parka. It comes with a gilet, or a padded vest as we call it.
