Forgotten Fashion Brands....
I forget what triggered the conversation in the office the other day but we somehow got on to the conversation of retro brands that you just don't see anymore.....
Whether you were after some new jeans, the latest trainers or some new cool t-shirts these brands were what I wanted. Unfortunately with these brands vanished before the digital age of social media or the internet there really isn't very much information about them so I'm not sure how widespread the appeal was. Hopefully the brands I've focused on mean something to you guys around the country. But here's some of my favourites anyway....
The Sweater Shop - Sometimes parents made/needed their offspring to look 'smart' and there was only one garment to do this, a Sweater Shop sweater! A good quality, heavyweight, knitted jumper was always a parent pleaser and luckily highly fashionable at the time. They came in a multitude of (generally hidious) colours and designs to suit most tastes and occasions. A wardrobe must-have that earned you 'cool points' down the youth club.
Look Of The Month - Rocker Chic
It's a classic alright, the Rocker look never goes out of fashion. Slip on a retro tee and some worn denim and you are ready to go! Perfect for every day, pounding the pavements and also looking great over the festival season, you can really show off your rock credentials!
For the ladies, our stunning new body-suits offer an up to the minute twist on the classic rock chick look. Try teaming this awesome Amplified Vintage ZZ Top Body Suit with some denim cut off shorts, along with a pair of uber cool studded high tops and you really will be ready to rock!

What do Chunk Clothing eat for Breakfast?
The new tee collection of Chunk T-Shirts has landed at TruffleShuffle. With their humorous take on iconic retro characters and movies, it does make us wonder what the designers there eat for breakfast!! With that in mind, here's some questions only Chunk Clothing would ask themselves:
- What would the cast of Star Wars look like in their 1977 School Yearbook?
- If you double parked your AT-AT would a parking attendant still clamp it?
- Does Darth Vader do a little DJing 'on-the-side'?
- What would Mr.T be like if he were a dog?!?!
