Oi Polloi are firing blanks at us, this time from U.S stalwarts Champion. When I say blanks, I’m not talking about shit bullets or some sort of procreation-based…
How long is it since Engineered Garments appeared on the scene? Feels like it could be 4 years or 15 years. I can’t quite place it. Well, not…
I’m wearing a red Battenwear sweat today and IMVVHO it’s made me look around 14 months younger. With that in mind, I should probably embrace my inner Little…
Where would we be without brown suede shoes? I dread to think, I really do. Thank God that we live in a world where we have shops like…
I once spent a prolonged period of time in France in my early 20’s. Not at the pleasure of the French Gendarmerie nor as part of some Nouveau-Georgian Grand Tour…
I put in a disappointingly brief appearance at the launch of this last night. Apparently there was free beer and French space rock, which sounds right up my…
If you google the word ‘Hikerdelia’ you’ll get loads of link to propermag so unless you’re new to our site/magazine then you’ll already know that we have a profound…

It’s not everyday you see a rainbow is it? Despite living in one of the wettest/gayest cities in the Western hemisphere they’re still a rarity round these parts.…
What you up to next Thursday night? Are you local to Manchester like what we are? If not, I feel bad for you, son. Because we’re all off…
Not very likely, as you dump the car in the snowbound streets to trudge home on foot ’cause the tight arsed council haven’t gritted the roads properly, that…
Like that girl in the 5th year at Secondary school, Barbour’s been gaining a bit of a name for itself lately for cosying up closely to just about anyone…
In a change from the current norm (*winks knowingly*), ‘cause we all need a break from the old routine, I’ve done some sale picking, so’s you don’t have…
Coming from the same part of the world as the chaps behind Oi Polloi, it’s fair to say we’re on the same page as them on a lot…
