The Bronze Trade.

I've always been a fan of homegrown talent and brands and this debut collection from The Bronze Trade is no different Strong, bold tees and graphics and a decent first foray into the game, I can see this brand flourishing and growing to be a big time player in the Streetwear community. Their first wave of products went online today, check out the lookbook video below: The Bronze Trade | Lookbook from Thomas Welsh on Vimeo . Fraser

All That Remains

I am going along to see one of my favourite metal bands tonight in the Garage , All That Remains  and I am fairly excited. It got me thinking about music and how every one of the Fat Buddha staff has such a different taste in music. Between us all I think it's safe to say we like every kind there is!

So I had a little wander round the store to see if we sell any music related products and found more than I thought I would! We have the cool KISS t-shirt from Popularity Bear and the MTV styled Carhartt t-shirt too. I also found a few music books and gadgets ...  Lastly, we have our quality range of Urbanears and Zumreed headphones , essential wear for everyone these days... Here is my favourite All That Remains song to warm you up and also a wee video I love from local Glasgow band, Bleed From Within , who are providing support for them tonight... Good

Some of Fat Buddhas premier brands got in on the action and had some crazy sales (50% off at The Hundreds , 30% off at Rebel 8 and 30% off Benny Gold etc etc) After all the comotion of 'Black Friday' - it was a suprise to wake up to what i'm calling 'White Saturday' Baffled by this weather I thought I'd be a good sport and stick up my favourite coat from the Carhartt Winter collection, to tackle these conditions, the Hickman
