Penfield Womens Jackets

Outdoor specialists Penfield have made their name from their goose down layered jackets, and have a heritage stretching back many years. The good news is although the main part of their range is filled with mens jackets, they also have a few of their key pieces retweaked into womens jackets.

These include the Jupa Vest a version of the classic Penfield down filled vest with an adjustable hood, and the Millis Jacket which is in the classic shape of their down filled jacket. These are both constructed to the high level of quaility you would expect from any Penfield garment, and are fully insulated to protect you against whatever the weather throws at you!

Wight Trash Online

We have finally had some stock from Wight Trash uploaded to our site - conveniently coinciding with the relaunch of their own website (www.wight-trash.com.) We have worked with Wight Trash since we started, and to date they are still one of our most successful brands. Founder John Cattle has taken them from producing a few basic t-shirts, to releasing an expansive range of clothing, accessories and hardware, and they are now one of the most recognised local brands.

Wight Trash has a well established skate team, and regularly work with the local skate community to help out and improve facilities. Their recent 'Transitions' cd series was a major success - a compilation of local artists music including songs provided by The Bees, Jackson Analogue, Mark King and The Operators - all in aid of raising money for the Ventnor Skate Park regeneration.

The "Wight Trash Logo T-shirt" is consistently one of our best sellers, along with a t-shirt design from graphic artist Nathan Holt - "Wight Trash Nathan T-shirt". You can view our full range here.

Obey Glow in the Dark Series

Obey are always ahead of the game when it comes to tee designs and this latest collection is no exception. The Glow in the Dark series features a range of fresh new designs, all printed in a special kind of glow ink. Unlike other glow in the dark inks, this charges off just a few minutes of artificial or natural light, and can last for hours. Obey have done a range in both blue and green inks, and all are equally effective!

We have so far received two designs into stock - 'Party with the Posse' which uses the Green glow ink, and 'Outline' which features Shepard Fairey's classic 'Andre the Giant' face in a Blue glow ink design. As with all Obey t-shirts, these are strictly limited in number - you can check out a video of one of them in action on Youtube - Obey Glow in the Dark Demo.

Gentle Fawn AW 09

We've just had our Autumn/Winter stock from Gentle Fawn uploaded to the site, and its looking mighty fine this season! The Canadian label may only have been around for 6 years, but they have already established themselves as one of the leading women's brands to crossover into the streetwear market with their subtle mix of urban and nature in their designs.

Stand out pieces this season for the ladies include -

The Hepburn Jacket - Perfect vintage look, wool mix zip-up jacket, with great flattering cut, and multiple contrast button and lining features.

Polish Dress - Great way to turn heads this autumn with this fantastic looking dress, with custom printed chiffon lower.

Flaunt Top - Great little top that can be either dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. Gingham print around the neckline really sets this piece off.

You can view our whole Gentle Fawn collection online right now by following this link - http://www.switch-clothing.co.uk/gentle-fawn-60-c.asp
