We’ve all got our own style persuasions when it comes to menswear, of course, but, if like us at The Coolector, you’ve got a particular penchant for vintage inspired apparel, it can be difficult to find brands that match your sensibilities – particularly here in the UK. Well, fear not, because we’ve found an absolute cracker in the shape of &SONS and their first class line up of vintage style menswear which includes tees, tops, hats and outerwear.
The beauty of &SONS comes from the fact they are proud to support innovation while valuing the skills of artisans where hard-won expertise is passed on from one generation to the next. That’s why they take such pride in and care over the design and manufacture of their excellent apparel, using only the very best natural materials in unity with the greatest craftsmanship techniques out there.
A brainchild of Phil James and James Cowdale, &SONS came about because the pair believed the world needs pioneers: people willing to try something new, break new ground, set out on new paths. This fantastic apparel and lifestyle brand does exactly that and for any man looking to give their wardrobe a vintage vibe in the rest of 2019 and beyond, this is the place to be. Check out some of our favourite pieces from &SONS below:
