Sunday, September 6th, 2009

The Hill-Side take a tough, working man’s approach to neckwear, Their ties & handkerchiefs are not fancy or fragile, they are not merely decorative, nor are they status symbols, but are meant to be worn hard, every day, and thus gain character with each use. Using materials that are not commonly associated with neckwear : selvedge chambray, left hand twill & waxed cotton.

We have an array of both ties & handkerchiefs on the website

News – September 4th 2009 – Borsalino

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Established in 1857, Borsalino is synonymous with style and elegance, & are considered by many as the finest hats in the world. They produce their own felt from the finest Belgian lapin fur at their factory in Alessandria, Italy. Their felt hats are still produced today just as they were a hundred years ago.
From them we have some ‘Legionnaire’ hats in 3 colorways, Camel, Charcoal & Navy, all with fold down ear flaps & a short bill, made from a wool, alpaca & mohair mix fabric which makes these hats warm light & very luxurious.

Quaker Marine Supply Co.

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Came across this company when a close freind returned from an estate sale wearing one on his head & we decided on the spot that we had to get them for C’H'C’M’. Nice & simple with some real working details. There are 3 styles, firstly the ‘Classic sailing & Tennis hat‘ in a soft cotton twill – this will look better with use as you adjust & shape it to suit your personal style, can be crushed up, thrown into the bottom of your bag & pulled out in times of need, has a nice navy underbrim that helps absorb reflected light. The ‘Swordfish Cap’ is in a heavy canvas with a real long bill  that can be worked & shaped to your preference. The extra long bill as well as the green underbrim really help keep you in the shade. Lastly, the ‘Casco Bay’ hat, in a rigid 11oz natural canvas. Underside of the brim is in green & can be turned up either side & snap fastened to stay put. All the hardware is in brass which creates a great contrast on the canvas.

Look out for some ‘made in Japan’ workshirts coming in over the next couple of weeks.

Utility Canvas ‘Bucket Tote’

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Deep tote bag from Utility Canvas in a really substantial 21 ounce Natural Canvas.  A couple of us have been using these bags for a year or so & they are just so useful & understated – 6 large pockets, 3 inside & 3 outside, really sturdy carrying handles & an adjustable shoulder strap. The canvas starts off pretty rough but softens with use…………Perfect as an everyday bag. This style is now discontinued so we have the last few left anywhere, although we should be getting some different styles in soon.
