Quiksilver Ole Oxford shirt

Having never worn Quiksilver clothing before, this came as a complete surprise. Usually when I think Quiksilver, surfing comes to mind but their new core skate range is impressing by each garment that is being pulled out of the box here.

The Ole Oxford shirt is so soft that you will be going back a few years and remiscing on when your dinner was made for you and carried to bed. It comes with a single pocket on the left of your chest, a very small collar that can be buttoned down and zero branding making this a total winner. No big surf logos, no crazy red and whiteness, just plain, and beautiful and extremely soft to the touch.

I can safely say that once ironed and out of the wash, this will be one of your favourite shirts this winter.

Volcom Cuff Beanie

This week, Autumn finally kicked in and it looks likely that from here onwards Winter is going to become a reality. This morning more than any other day this year, I felt the cold on the way to our office but thankfully Volcom had sent a bunch of their Fall collection to help battle the elements.

The Volcom Cuff Beanie is straight up, seafaring standard headwear. Available in black, navy, olive (pictured) and bright orange, Volcom’s latest beanies are simple, warm and efficient when dealing with the freezing cold fog that we are destined to experience soon. The Cuff is branded on both sides, so if you don’t fancy the long, worded logo on one side of it, then you will be more than happy to rock the small Stone on the flipside. If you like your branding then you will love this for the choice.

This double fold, knit rib beanie comes in one size, so if your head is like Chunk from the Goonies or even if you are rocking a giant potato like Sloth’s from the same movie, you know it will fit fine. For around £20, one of these is well worth thinking about owning this winter. Available right now in your local skate shop.
