Meet The Family!

We love our little family here at B! We love it so much that we can’t help ourselves from parading the various members of the clan over the internet! We’d be nowhere if it wasn’t for these hardworking and hard playing players.

First up is Mr Kirk Beattie a familiar face at BStore. Pie enthusiast, receipt collector, co-founder and designer of the brand, we managed to pin him down long enough to answer a few questions…

NAME: Kirk Beattie

HOMETOWN: Bow, London E3

WHAT ARE YOU WEARING? B Store Loves Liberty Bert Blazer, with a B Store Baracuda Shirt, B Store straight navy Basil trousers and B Store Eton 6 Norwegian derby shoe.

WHAT ARE YOU EATING? I’m finding it hard to beat The Windmills shepherds pie, it’s sublime! (6-8 Mill St. Mayfair, W1S 2AZ)

WHAT ARE YOU READING? ‘Spitalifields Life’ by The Gentle Author. Its a whole bunch of short interviews with people from all walks of life living and working in London’s East End.

WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO? I can’t get enough of former Books frontman Rick Zammuto’s new solo project under the name of Zammuto, the album is cleverly titled Zammuto.

WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING? I’m a bit of a documentary addict and I just watched a great film by Thomas Balmes called Babies, it takes a year in the life of  4 babies from around the world and the different rules that are applied to their lives… Sounds a bit crap now I say it but it’s great.

WHAT’S IN YOUR POCKETS? Keys, Paracetamol (always a must) Scraps of useless receipt papers, coins of silver and brown, and my overflowing wallet (not with cash but with more useless receipt papers)

WHAT ARE YOUR MUST HAVES THIS SEASON? 1. B Store green linen suit, I’ve worn it a few times but I can’t wait to wear it in the burning sun… 2. Berthold’s short sleeve sweatshirt, it’s just perfect for the days you can’t be bothered, effortlessly cool. 3. B Store Loves Liberty Base Bomber jacket… At first glance, slightly lary, but get it on and it’s easy peasy, goes with everything…

Mr Murphy on B on Mr P!

Mr P. loves B.

B Loves P back.

Sounds like a terribly dull formula for some dreadful sort of equation doesnt it? How Many Pineapples would P get back for Bs love? None, thats how many. Pineapples are acidic and will only end up giving B (or P for that matter, we’re a bit lost now…) a jippy tummy. No one wants a jippy tummy.

Everyone however,  wants to take a peek at Mr P’s interview with our very own Mr Murphy!

Jacket Potato!

Kirk just couldn’t wait for his Taytos, tunes n’ “top o’ the mornin’s”

Oh bless, he’s got himself in a bit of a fiddle (sorry) and turned up to St. Pat’s a few days early, doing his bit for the emerald isle in his green linen Brentwood and Basil pleated trousers, topped off with a CA4LA Crow hat.

(Glov)es and ov(erall)s

 

 

In 1950 Mr.Harold Morris and his wife set up Gloverall (gloves and overalls) supplying the industry with  bolier suits, rainwear for the builders and bibs and braces.They swiftly moved on to produce the now iconic duffle coat which became a sartorial symbol for the beatnicks before being picked up by the likes of Bing Crosby and John Wayne who made the once military uniform coat a stylish status piece.

Roll on 70 years and b store have taken the horn and loop fastening from the fore mentioned duffle and added it to their classic brentwood blazer to great effect and you will be happy to know it has just dropped in store…..
