Everybody you know will want to steal these from you…

There’s an undeniable chill in the air now so it’s time to rug up boys. At Alfie’s Friend Rolfe we’re all about premium fleece, and here is a selection of our favourites from cult UK brands YMC and LUKE, and Japan’s EDWIN JEANS proves there’s more to it than just the perfect jeans.

Once upon a time sweatshirts were just for the gym, maybe the park if it was a nice-ish one. But now the options available are amazing, and they’re too good to relegate to the gym pile. With a undeviated focus on fit and fabric, all of our sweatshirts and zip-ups look the business, fit like a glove and feel like a dream.

There is something that I must warn you about though: There is a huge likelihood that should you own one of these yummy sweatshirts it will be stolen. Your mates, significant other, your brother, in fact your whole family (yep even grandma)…they will all come and visit, claim to be “cold”, go to your cupboard and grab your new favourite wintery goodness and you shall never see your sweats again. You’ve been warned. Keep your eye on granny.

Shoe Heaven At Alfie’s Friend Rolfe

 photo wsIMG_0245_zpsa38a6ab5.jpg

This time of year it feels like we turn into a shoe shop here instore…and I will say, that is the favourite time of the season for me! Gracing the shelves of our shop at the moment are the new Winter offerings from Melbourne brand ZOLA.

Over the years we’ve had Zola in our store, the brand has gained quite a lot of devotees, in no small part due to unbelieavable comfort they provide (yes, even the heels). The great styles and the excellent prices definitely help too…but that comfort…man, you have to try them.

We LOVE The Academy Brand because…

 photo Academy050413_zpseaffaa08.jpg

We’re trying to think what it is we love the most about The Academy Brand and it’s quite difficult to come up with just one…sometimes we think it’s the effortless “everyday man” looks they come up with; and then we agree that it’s definitely the affordability; and then we’re adamant it’s the perfect comfort + style combo…and then we realise that OOPS we’ve sold out of it completely so there’s nothing left to ponder.

Hurry up boys and get some excellent pieces from The Academy Brand in your wardrobe for this Autumn Winter period!

All styles shown plus much more available now at Alfie’s Friend Rolfe.

Patterns and Prints from Something Else

 photo frametastic_zps5f419a54.jpg

People often ask “So…what’s in fashion this coming season?”. Sometimes the answer is long winded and confusing. This time the answer is tres simple…patterns. Like, LOTS of patterns. Top and bottom. Even your shoes, bag and belt can be patterned if you like.

With the 90′s making a comeback in the fashion world (true story if you haven’t heard), its time to get your ecclectic head-to-toe prints happening. The 90′s version of me was not afraid to team plaid with statement florals (albeit, in an awkward teenage manner!) so it may be time to right the awkward wrongs of my youth and bust out some bold combinations…sans brown lipstick of course!

The current looks from SOMETHING ELSE are the perfect pieces to update your Autumn looks…check those beautiful prints! A nice selection of both subtle and bold patterns, the team at SOMETHING ELSE are old hats at designing signature prints so it makes sense they’ve nailed it.

No need to be drab this Autumn…

 photo wsIMG_2322_zps611e284d.jpg

Scottish cult label LYLE & SCOTT is the newest addition to our label repertoire, and boy the timing is just perfect! With the imminent Autumn/Fall weather, lush cotton knits and spray jackets are just what you need.

Whenever I think of Scotland I think of dewy green fields, rainy days, Braveheart and tartan…I never imagined that such amazing colours would come from the land of kilts! I was most pleasantly surprised with the colours from the Lyle & Scott range…perfect for brightening up a dreary day.
