Triwa Watches now available

Triwa Watches are a Swedish brand who were established in 2006. They make watches that are cutting edge in both their look and their design, taking their initial inspiration from a trip to Naples where the high crime rate dictated that the locals preferred inexpensive plastic watches to heavy timepieces.

Fired with enthusiasm from that trip, Triwa was born. Matching that trend for well made plastic watches with the traditional look and feel of more substantial watches, and throwing in a healthy dollop of Scandinavian wackyness, they've created a collection of watches you really should find out more about.

We've got an extensive range here in Schindler so don't delay, time is running out. Have a closer look here.

Gloverall on it's way in..

There's a very definite chill in the air right now isn't there?

It's about time you put your pumps back in their box and sent them into hibernation for the winter. Likewise your windbreakers and lightweight jackets. The winter is coming and it takes no prisoners.

To help you combat the cold we will soon be taking delivery of some duffle coats made by the world reknowned Gloverall.

Keep a close eye on our website over the next week or so.

To read more about the duffel coat get yourself over to oneupmanship.

Clarks Weaver and Clarks Natalie both now available

We don't need to go into the history and heritage of a brand like Clarks do we? I mean, really. It's Clarks. An institution. Plus we've covered it before in these pages and we don't like to patronise you. Well, not too much anyway.

Having already offered you the traditional Clarks desert boots and the smarter than smart desert trek we have gone for a long awaited reissue of the Clarks Weaver. There's something brilliant about a crepe sole isn't there? They're great.

If they don't float your particularly picky boat though we've also got Clarks Natalie in.

As usual, if you're in a position to come in and see us feel free to plonk yourself down in the shop and demand assistance. Alternatively if you're a bit shy (or you live in Timbuktu) then head over to schindler-shop.com immediately.

Eastpak Clothing comes to Schindler

We've always been big fans of Eastpak here at Schindler Shop. We've stocked their bags for several seasons now and they've been a big hit. They tick the boxes we most like to tick. The brand itself has heritage. You know with Eastpak you're buying a long story not just a fashion trend.

That story wouldn't hold up though, if Eastpak didn't couple that heritage with good, well made stuff. Eastpak will reach it's half century next year having been set up in 1960 by Bradley John Harrison. Like many of the American brands with longevity, Eastpak once supplied the miltary although initially the brand was known as Eastern Canvas Products. After their success within the forces they decided to branch out into a more commercial market, with their bag quickly becoming the thing to have on campus during the 1970s.

Eastpak didn't get to it's 50th year without having a progressive outlook though, and it is this which propelled them into the millenium in the form of apparel and accessories to compliment their excellent bags. Having come under the wing of VF Corporation alongside brands like Wrangler and Jansport, Eastpak has come up with some excellent pieces of clothing, several of which we're pleased to offer you in store and online right now.

Boy done wrong now in stock

A new brand for us here at Schindler Shop is Boy Done Wrong. Inspired by the classic Italian menswear labels, Boy Done Wrong is UK based and sources all it's fabrics within the EU, which is also where their clothing is manufactured. This enables them to keep a strong grip on the whole process from design to production. The end product is exactly as it was meant.

We have a fair spread of their items from t-shirts and polo shirts and knitwear in the shape of cardigans and sweaters.

It's a relatively new brand so this is your chance to get onto it before your mates do.

The Real McKee - A Northern Soul

Occasionally we stop going on about the aceness of our clothing and switch your attention to other stuff we think is ace.

In this case we thought we'd bring your attention to a smashing Sheffield based artist, Pete McKee.

He's been around a while now and we thought it was good timing to feature him here on our blog because he's in the middle of exhibiting his work just down the road from us in Manchester.

The exhibition takes in three Manchester bars, Oddest, Odd and Odder. The artwork is on display until Thursday at Oddest on Wilbraham Road, but moves to a city centre location in the shape of Odd Bar on Thomas Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter. Then on 7th December Oxford Road's Odder bar (opposite the bbc, map fans) hosts the third installment, which continues until 14th January.

The choice of Manchester to exhibit his work is not a coincidence. McKee has recently put together a collection of Mancunian music inspired artwork, taking in the well documented tale of the famous 1976 Sex Pistols gig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall, Joy Division through to today's torch bearers Elbow and everything inbetween.

Aertex + Shirts = Well smart

Aertex is a brand which is in keeping with our appreciation of genuine heritage. The brand has existed for over 120 years in one way or another. Aertex was born out of Lancastrian mill owner Lewis Haslam's desire to create an innovative fabric which was versatile enough to keep the warmth in and the cold out, but also be breathable.

Like many brands which have stood the test of time, they played their part in the war effort, with the British Army sporting Aertex shirts and Jackets during World War 2.

With the war over and the country in recovery, the boom in youth fashion during the 1950's saw Aertex propelled to the forefront. Aertex featured in the Festival of Britain in 1951 and ended the decade making tentative steps into the UK sporting market with their support of the 'All New Netball Associations' coaching film.

That involvement in sports was a natural progression and was cemented during the 1960's with the advanced Aertex being utilised by various sports such as football, tennis and cricket. This naturally led to the brand becoming popular within school sports.

Aertex began the 1970's with their prestigious involvement with the England football team. With the World Cup taking place in the searing Mexican heat the likes of Bobby Moore sported Aertex made kits which allowed them to feel (and look) as cool as possible.

The use of Aertex fabrics in football continued throughout the 1980s with stars such as George Best wearing a shirt featuring Aertex technology when playing in the NASL for San Jose Earthquakes in 1981.

Today Aertex is firmly established as one of the UK's leading lights, with musicians and television personalities favouring Aertex clothing.

We have two styles of their excellent shirts in store online, in various different colours too. Pound for pound these have to be amongst the best shirts available this Autumn/Winter.
