Cup: Tara Ireland.  Beans: Sumatra Mandheling.  Great start to an exciting Friday! I hope you all have a good one too!  

Found this image today while having a tidy up.  Good memories of a childhood spent outdoors playing cricket and football in the backyard.  Also a part of the development of the Backyard Denim logo that I really enjoyed.  The original photograph features on my website too.

Brilliant coverage for Backyard Denim on The Milltown.  

"The Milltown is the project of Dave & Joe; two friends obsessed with menswear. We don’t believe in following trends, we believe in brands with a strong heritage and clothing that was originally made for a purpose. We are passionate about fabrics, craftsmanship, and all the little details that are often overlooked and undervalued."

Is it really the first day of winter?!  The recently landscaped Lloyd Park & William Morris Gallery E17

Thanks to those of you who have taken the time to let us know about the issues with some photos on our website.  Unfortunately, the problem can't be resolved until the release of our shiny new site in about 2 weeks.  Please watch this space, and thanks for your patience, it'll be sorted soon!

After a long wait, these beautiful Japanese Yujiro thread cutters have arrived.  They're razor sharp and a very welcome addition to our tool-kit!  It's these small details that make working in the Backyard Denim studio such a pleasure.

This beautifully finished anvil has just arrived in the Backyard Denim studio.  If you're thinking it's a full size blacksmiths anvil, check out photo #2!  Perfect for hand-finishing our solid copper rivets.
