Hooooooooooooooooooowl

As of this weekend, our wolf shirts are now in stock! Head to SquareThursday to get your hands on them. To celebrate, I thought I would seek out some other lupine items that might tickle your fancy and complement your new shirt, should you choose to buy one.

Pretend you're a more stylish version of Bernard by carrying this vintage pocket watch:



Avoid stuffing landfill sites with disposable cups and scare your fellow commuters with this travel coffee mug:



Impress/unnerve your friends by affixing a recycled wolf's head sculpture to your living room wall:


Prevent your trousers from falling down using this gorgeous vintage belt:



Or just sit back, relax and let David Bowie's enchanting voice tell you the tale of Peter and the Wolf:

Paper Folding Fun

SquareThursday has two - TWO! - designs inspired by origami.


So far this year I have folded over 300 paper aeroplanes and one crane. Try it, it's splendid fun. This site has lots of origami projects for beginners and the instructions can be seen as an animation so it is real easy.

Here are links to a fox and a crane, so you can fold one to match your T shirt:



Enjoy!

Hott

Summer's back!
And by that I mean that in south London (where SquareThursday mostly hangs out) we have had a few hot days this week. As well as a massive thunder storm. And rain.
But yeah, summer!
Of course the best thing to wear to echo the bright weather and show off your guns is a super T shirt from SquareThursday, but here are some other things you might need:

1. Sunglasses

These are not only the internationally recognised symbol of cool but they protect your lovely retinas from evil UV rays. Why not try these from Capital? They are made of wood - yes, wood! Wood from renewable sources in the USA, where the sunnies are all handmade. Lovely.



2. Swimming

A refreshing dip in some sort of outdoor body of water is absolutely marvelous on a hot day. We are lucky in London to have a wealth of lidos to sample and my local one is in Brockwell Park. Get your money's worth by spending all day there - lay in the sun, do a sudoku, maybe have a cheeky glass of champagne. For extra summer joy, why not cycle to the pool and work up a bit of a sweat in order to best appreciate the often murderously cold water?
If you don't have an outdoor pool where you live, find your nearest wild and wonderful swimming location on this map from the Outdoor Swimming Society.



3. Picnics

Enjoy some al fresco dining but say NO to disposable plastic rubbish. Pick yourself up a delightful vintage picnic basket like this one:


or this one:

and if it doesn't come fully equipped get some compostable palm leaf plates.

Have fun, and don't forget to wear (organic) sun cream!

Graduate Fashion Week

So being part of the fashion world elite I got given some tickets to go and peruse what the latest crop of fashion graduates had to offer. These are some of the collections from Birmingham City University:

Above: Katie Urban
Above: Sean Denham


Above: Rachel Cogley, below Paris Hawkins-Carr (such an appropriate name!)




In a crufts style fashion my best in show has to be Isla Skelton, because her stuff is just plain awesome. Plus there's clouds and shiny things and the best use of a bathroom toy as a hat I think I've ever seen. you can see more of her here.




HOT.

The times they are a-changin

Hello loyal fans

From the end of this month onwards SquareThursday garms will be all shiny and organically screenprinted. This is exciting news indeed. We will of course bombard you with notifications in all forms as soon as they are available to buy from the site.
In the meantime, the very last of our hand-stencilled T shirts and sweatshirts are being listed on Etsy. Keep checking back, I'll be adding them over the next week. It's your LAST CHANCE to get get something hand painted by Jasper and myself. Also you can see these juicy shots of us modelling them:

Union chic

Both Jasper and I attended the TUC-organised March for the Alternative in London last Saturday. It was amazing how many people came together to challenge what the coalition government are planning to do to this country.
But what to wear to such an event? Luckily, a clothing label you might have heard of - SquareThursday - make the perfect T shirt. Here I am about to set off:


Thanks to my Dad for the kind of acceptable photography skillz. Also to my head for looking crap.

Celebrity travels

Fun news guys: We sent Lily Cole to India to make a video at the factory where our shirts are made.



Well, we didn't exactly have anything to do with it but it is still interesting to see footage of our garms being born.

Have a look here.
