my good friend; Huw Watkins

The other day Mr watkins looked so good I had to take a photo!

He's wearing a vintage Crombie suit, a brown pinstripe, with vintage braces (he bought from me!). You can't see them but his brown brogues look superb and the Prince of Wales check shirt looks terrific.

All topped off with a pocket square and a nice vintage tie.

A true dapper Dan.

A semi round-up of the year.

Well. We did 8 Fairs this year, two each in Bristol, Cardiff, Cheltenham and Exeter.

Bristol is always good, so's Cardiff. Cheltenham and Exeter are improving every time. I guess that's the difference between a large city and a smaller one. We've a new venue for Exeter this year, we're off to the University campus to try Devonshire Hall. Should be cool.

We trialled a prize draw in the autumn season, giving away £150 of vouchers to spend on vintage anything from the fair. there have been some very pleased people.

Imagine - paying £4.50 to get in the Fair and then winning £150 in vouchers! A whole new wardrobe for the price of entry. No wonder we're continuing this in 2009.

Footfall at the Fairs ranged from 400 in Exeter to 960 in Cardiff, it's pleasing to see we're kinda holding our own in these times of credit crunch. Vintage clothing being of course superlative value for money in so many ways. So thanks for coming along.

We've a new development for 2009, an amazon book store dedicated to all books vintage. Clothing I mean, not dusty tomes leather-bound.

For this check out this link HERE - up to 30% off for you and a much wider selection than I can manage in my website shop.

Here's to good fairs in 2009!
