Brussels Express

Brussels is the most congested city in Europe and only 4% cycling traffic. Compared to some of Europe’s famously cycle friendly cities Brussels is on the other side of that spectrum. This great new documentry follows a group of bike messengers to discover what life on the busy, uncompromising streets are like for two-wheel travellers. At 20 minutes it’s a nice in-depth film, beautifully shot and feels like an important story worth highlighting.

La Laboureur Wool Jacket

After a weekend of sunshine it’s back to bluster and rain, and we’re turning our attentions to some Fall/Winter wear to keep an eye out for, inparticular this stunner of a jacket from La Laboureur. Here they take wool from the Ouessant variety of sheep in France - giving a dense, roughly textured take on workwear with nothing unnatural involved at all. Check out some close-up snaps HERE.
