Here's a veritable armada of boats waiting to dock at Port Carter. The fact that some are out of the water, & some in, give the print a charming surreal touch. Its a ship spotters dream. This rich design is printed onto 100% recycled polyester. Apart from doing good by the planet, it has a lovely soft feel & those clever fabric boffins have designed it to be super quick drying. There's a handy inner mesh to protect your assets & the tech even extends to allowing the swim shorts to breathe so there's no unsightly ballooning if you know what I mean. Our swim shorts are just that; perfect for both poolside & bar side. There are two pockets at the font & a nifty Velcro pocket at the back to keep your other assets safe, too. ...

As worn by Paul Merton. This design looks at wild animals as seen through Victorian eyes. It's interesting, they are naturalistically enough drawn but have, let's say
- a certain naivety, as though the ferocity & power of tigers, leopards, lions has been under-emphasised. In this age I think we would slightly err to the other side
- we would unconsciously accentuate those qualities. The colours are beautiful, having a kind of burnished, aged feel
- our leopard glows, the jaguar is lit as though in the setting sun. Again we are looking at the world of illustration through the ages, & loving its modesty, devotion & unconscious charm. Single button cuff, finest cotton, intelligent tailored regular fit & classic collar

Tucking nicely into the new season's focus on the theme of 'circus' this shirt features vintage trapeze artistes doing their thing amongst long, skinny wires. It's nice how a certain delight & freedom has been taken in drawing the apparatus to form an elegant quasi-striped ground on which the small, intensely coloured gymnasts arch & dive. The colours are very saturated, recalling those in Victorian circus posters which this design celebrates
- looking closely we can see that the costumes are indeed from that vivid age. A single button cuff shirt which is fresh & practical with a good dose of close-up fascination.
