So as you can see, we just got a box load of Huxley samples through. We now have all the colours in all the sizes and I think you will agree they look great! We would love to hear from people as to which colours are their favourites, which colours they would avoid, and generally any feedback on the jumpers at all. Now that we have the full selection of samples, we wil be making catalogues and getting the Huxley online store ready for everyone to pile in when we launch in Spetember. We will. of course, keep you updated with our progress as we go, there will be behind the scenes sneak previews from the catalogue shoots, and much much more. Keep in touch!

I have always felt that there is a gap in the market for well made, great quality and fairly priced men's clothing brand that eschews the temptation for men to stay safe with their colour palette, never veering far from blue, grey or brown clothing. I figured that in the midst of a recession is the perfect time to throw in my stable job and attempt to build a brand on the premise of using British producers, manufacturers and materials in order to offer the British consumer interesting and different brands to get their teeth into.

I have an image of a world where men are not afraid to rock a purple jumper, a yellow belt, a well fitting set of royal blue shorts, or a pair of electric green suede brogues. It is certainly true to say that there are factions out there of men who are willing to express themselves thus...however i want to bring these men out of the shadows and encourage everyone from creatives to accountants, 18 year olds to 50 year olds, lanky gents to chubby dudes to express themselves through Huxley.

The plan is to start by designing and selling some classic men's jumpers. We will start with a round neck and a v-neck in a range of eight vibrant, risky, yet very tasteful colours. The plan is to move on to the full regalia of men's clothing and accessories with socks, scarves, trousers, shorts, belts, wallets etc all following in good time.

If you stumble across this little blog and are interested by what you see please sign up as a follower and stay tuned to what is going on. We will be launching our web site in the new year and hope to have our online store up and running very soon after that. I will be updating the blog as regularly as I can with updates on the brand's progress as well as throwing up photos and links to things/people/events etc that we believe embody Huxley as a brand. As we are a young brand we encourage any comments and suggestions for the direction of the brand.

I hope you enjoy what you find here and I hope that this is the beginning of something pretty bloody special
