002 - Oi Polloi....
Whenever I have the opportunity to travel the trans pennine express I will always find myself perched inside a wonderful menswear attire shop, hidden just on the outskirts of Manchester's Northern Quarter. Lads and well Lads I say with great esteem I give you Oi Polloi.
I first discovered this shop in 2004 when i used to spend hours down Oldam st record digging and was blown away by this shop with a slogan - Talent Borrows, Genius steals, says it all.
Started in 2002 in an adverse reaction to mens fashion, Oi Polloi set out to be a cut above. and now has resounding success in been the leading independant contemporary labels, fronting their own range too.
Upon visiting this shop you are in awe of the designers they stock, some not even heard of, These fine gents are the leaders in sourcing the next big following in casual clothing. They start trends and strive to be at the top of the game. Stocking unknowns or undercover brands like Finn Comfort for shoes, Woolen Mill and Our Legacy for some stunning garments, through to the usual suspects currently been rinsed in our casual revival by all and sundrie, Fjall Raven and Barbour.
Even now the guys have seen sense and began to stock the cream of the crop with Stone Island and Cp Company, giving them credibility once again.
This shop will always hold a place in my heart and i will continue to be a loyal customer like so many of us who know. and for those that dont well TUFF............................
