Matching Mondays Bank Holiday Special

Posted by cyrus on August 31, 2009 None comments

Matching Mondays Bank Holiday Special Part 1You know the formula, Matching Mondays… 20% off select combos, so let’s get straight into it…

It’s crazy that this is our 6th drop and so far we haven’t hooked you up with an outfit in ‘Wood Orange’, so here it is.

First up is the Acrobat Polo (£50) from Lyle & Scott, sync that with a pair of ILL Air Max Safari’s (£85) from Nike and job done right?

Wrong, you know you need some crispy clean denim to go with a look like that, so let us introduce you to these 2RRB Tapered Regular Dry Jeans (£65) from Wrangler.

That slick combo would normally set you back £200, well as usual, this week it can be yours for £160!

Matching Mondays Bank Holiday Special Part 2Next up this week we have a summer filled Mishka x Reebok extravanganza!

Starting with the fitted (as is often the best thing to do when matching your outfit) we have the Ressurection New Era from Mishka (RRP £35), which also has the added bonus of going with pretty much anything you own already, look at all that colour!

However we have picked out another piece from Mishka to go with it, in the shape of the Watch Dog Polo (£49)… This is seriously the tealest of all the Teal pieces we have ever seen, so if Teal is your thing, get stuck in!

Finishing the whole thing off is the Sir Jam Emirates Air (£75) from Reebok.

£159 thus becomes £125 this week only!

Matching Mondays Part Five

Posted by cyrus on August 24, 2009 None comments

It’s Monday once again and that can only mean one thing… Matching Mondays!

Matching Mondays Week 5 Part OneFirst up this week we have a cheeky little combo for you, this one is for those of you who like to leave that button up shirt unbuttoned for that classic casual summer vibe… The shirt in question is this very fresh Townshend Plaid Check Shirt, from Mishka (£69)… We’re generally suckers here for anything in the overly streetwear ‘Seafoam’ colour-way and this time is no different, this is a beautiful shirt!

Underneath that bad boy we have picked out the Munko Tee from The Hundreds (£30), which works beautifully with the shirt above, working the seafoam and yellow perfectly…

Regularly this combo would come to £99, but this week it can be yours for £79… Matching Mondays baby!

Matching Mondays Week 5 Part TwoAlso this week we have a nice little combo with the added touch of a cheeky accessory thrown in the mix, check it out…

Starting with a Kiks Tyo Brushed Logo Trucker Cap (£35) which pretty much does what it says on the tin! Then moving down we have this DOPE Temple Effectives Protect Your Neck Tee (£30) which is a must for all Wu Tang fans and generally fans of ill printed tee’s!

To finish off we have picked out this handy Map Bag from Stussy (£35), ideal for all of your Wu Tang CD’s and Personal CD Player, maybe a marker pen, lighter, keys, money and mobile… OK maybe not the CD player but you get our drift!

Again, this would normally retail at £100 but this week you can pick it all up for £75… Bargain!

Comune Now In Store

Posted by cyrus on August 19, 2009 None comments

Comune At WoodOne of our first drops for AW09 is another new brand at Wood, in the shape of San Fransico’s COMUNE.

COMUNE was formed from the idea that there will always be people out there who not only embrace the rawness and imperfections of everyday life but to use it to creatively push the boundaries of what’s possible in skateboarding, fashion, art and music their own way, with complete disregard of the consequences.

COMUNE’s goal is to provide clothing that reflects this lifestyle of carefree idealism and to support the people that choose to live it.

Look out for COMUNE on our website very soon!

Exhibition: A Brooklyn Couplet

A Brooklyn CoupletExhibition Opening: Sat 22nd August – 5PM @ Contact Theatre

Bami Adedoyin and Yako 440 Prodis are a wife and husband team from Brooklyn New York, USA. Both artists believe in nurturing individuality while building commonality in their relationship, functioning much like a couplet does in poetry. The lines can stand on their own, or work together. The two bodies of photographic work on display at Contact visualise that philosophy.
