Our VE Interview

Firstly, who has the best New Year’s Eve scandal between the three of you and what is it?

'Maybe Felix, he got chased off a roof top by people who had mistaken him for an ex lover.'

A new year brings new opportunity.

What are your aspirations and resolutions for 2012, both personally and as a label?

'Wow so profound, personally and this is some what of a generalization and trying to group three guys together but it would be to make the most out of what we’ve build and enjoy what we do more – actually this applies both ways…'

Angus Black is receiving a lot of Vanishing Elephant in the next few months, what can we tell our customers was the inspiration behind the autumn collection?

'The coming collection ‘one and one’ is about us exploring our classic pieces and trying to perfect them beyond their already classic nature. We’ve used subtle detailing, paid a lot of attention to the fabrications and how they’re treated and used colours that are as timeless as they are current on top of this we have some pieces that are really new to us and that have pushed us harder at the design table then ever before hence one classic and one new piece.'

What movie character would you say is the greatest personification of your latest season?

'Jekyll and Hyde.'

If you weren’t an internationally successful clothing trinity, what would you guys being doing?

Felix; Yogi.   

Arran; Food Critic.    

Huw; Skin diver.

The Eagle has landed..

Iconic luxury brand Lyle and Scott was founded in 1874 in Hawick in the Scottish Borders with a loan of 800 pounds..and in 1960 the eagle was born. Instantly recognisable the brand today has become a sartorial necessity.The classic Polo design is tailored close to the body for a slim silhouette and the trademark eagle is emblazoned on the left chest.

This week we welcomed the arrival of this 130 year old brand at Angus Black.

Lyle and Scott's clean cut classic in cotton pique is available in black, navy, and grey marl.

Our Motto

Khaki Slim Sanded

New in store at Angus Black is the light worn wash Khaki Slim.

Italian stretch fabric feels as good as it sounds.

The fabric is light weight and has a slight rustling hand feel to it....

98% cotton and 2% elastine

A secret coin pocket sits just below the waistband- nice.

This style has a slant side pocket and zip fly with orange bar tack. 

At the back welt pockets and a lowered yoke...

Narrow two needle seams along the 

yoke and the front and back rise.

The waistband is lined - of course. 

The fit is based on our favourite, the Thin Finn.

All the way from The Bronx

Friday night Brisbane was graced for the first time with one of the greatest living hip hop producers of the genre’s brief history, Pete Rock. His two hour set at Alhambra was a virtual voyage of some of the most influential artists and groups of the last 20 years. With samplings from a Tribe Called Quest, Q-tip, Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Gang Starr, Slum Village and J dilla, it was an unparalleled playlist. If you weren’t there you’ll just have to imagine the hype and hysteria in the front row when T.R.O.Y came on.

That sax sample will always make me shiver...

Mr Simple

  Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity – Plato

Mr Simple creates garments that we want to wear everyday.

For the beach, the boat or on the beat our clothes reflect our lifestyle and surroundings.

Mr Simple stands the tides of fashion and sweeping trends with quality pieces that won’t lose their shape after a few washes.

Sometimes being simple is not so simple and requires a u-turn from the elaborate and the artificial.

Within these pages you won’t find thousand dollar sweat pants or limited edition prints that cost more than your weeks wage.

You will find timeless classics with a modern fit that look better the more you wear them.

Garments made especially for you by Mr Simple.

After all, fashions fade but style is eternal.

Mr Simple is available in store and online http://angusblack.cart.net.au/store/shop-by-label/mr-simple/

Happy New Year

We'd like to say thank you for the ongoing support everyone has given us throughout this year of change and growth for our store...

                                                  

And to take this opportunity to wish you a lively New Years!
