Fuzz Dandy: Online groovy threads

A lot of people are flummoxed when trying to hunt down cool retro threads. It’s often hard to find sixties and seventies originals that are reasonably priced and/or in a good condition. It’s easy to find the stuff you like, but not necessarily in your size.

Well thankfully, Fuzz Dandy are on hand to help. Reproducing vintage cuts and styles, Fuzz Dandy offer a great range of well fitted flares, Mod cardigans, striped Tees straight off the back of the beatnicks of Haight & Ashbury and more.

The prices range from a very reasonable £30 for a pair of cords to £22 for a slim-fit cardigan. As they’re new, you can be certain that they’ll have your size and that they won’t be full of moth holes.

Obey Summer of Love T-Shirt

A lot of retro designs don’t quite cut it do they? They often go for a pastiche as opposed to a design that genuinely reflects the clothing of the time. This is when you end up with silly loons and tie-dye things with tacky peace signs on. Worse still, you could end up with a big ganja leaf. 

Well, for those of you wanted to show off a tasteful nod toward the late sixties, you can celebrate the summer of love with this vintage-washed soft heathered cotton T Shirt with a swirling psychedelic print of lovers loving, Kilmt style.

It’s going for $32.00 from Urban Outfitters, which means you’ll be paying around £17.00 if you’re a UK reader.
