Punk Rock Magazines

Morning,

As the festive season approaches, those in the vicinity of the shop can come in a make their Christmas list! We'll give you a copy, keep a copy, and that way everyone knows exactly what you want, and we can do our best to ensure you don't get any doubles. Alternatively, just ask for an Unorthodox gift certificate.

We have a couple of preview pieces in from Monsalina Chic. One is a red tunic, the other a black and white dress, so pop in and let us know what you think. We can always order your size in if we don't have it.

Oh, and remember, today is your last chance to get your hands on our WAM Apparel t-shirts and hoodies before we finish stocking the range, so get in quick!


Pick Of The Day is this Worn Free Punk Magazine T-Shirt as worn by Joey Ramone. Pre-washed so it fits, this is a licensed replica of the t-shirt Joey wore in New York in 1975, and comes with the distinctive Worn Free swingtag/sticker showing him in the original. Modelled here by both Steve and Matt, it's a classic.

Happy Bonfire Night!

Purrfect

Morning,

Trying to work out when the best time to put the Xmas decorations up at the shop is. Don't want to get in too early, but don't want to be all Scrooge-like. Any ideas?

Tomorrow is your last chance to get your hands on our WAM Apparel t-shirts and hoodies before we finish stocking the collection, so if you've been eyeing any of them up, either pop in or order them quickly! We've loved having the screen-printed range in, but we're scaling down our menswear (unless you blokes out there have a sudden shopping surge, in which case we'll reconsider!). We will still have our Worn Free t-shirts, Rubertine Art t-shirts, and Spiral Direct shorts in stock for the time being.

Pick Of The Day is this purrfect stocking filler from hand-assembled jewellery starlet Temporary:Secretary. These Hello Kitty earrings are kitsch, cute, and a bargain. Great as a gift, or even better to keep for yourself! We also have a Temporary:Secretary Hello Kitty ring, if you want to coordinate. For more information, pop in store or check them out on our online shop.

Hungry Like The Wolf

Morning,

Having one of those days where everything takes much longer than you anticipate. I blame Steve for hanging around and distracting me, and Tahnee for force feeding me junk. :) Also, been spending too much time giggle over the @CatBinLady Twitter. Really good, if you've not checked it out!

Pick Of The Day today is a limited edition WAM Apparel Snarling Dog t-shirt. Screen-printed locally, this is a bit of a classic from the little label, and these are the last so when they're gone, they're gone! The Snarling Dog designs is also available on a hoody. The t-shirts are available in Small, Medium and Large, and are £20 each.

Be Someone

Morning,

Just a quick post today since I'm supposed to be doing the books!

Our pick of the day today is this WAM Apparel 'Be Someone' t-shirt. It's men's slim fit, and we have them in Small, Medium and Large. I've written about WAM Apparel before, but to recap, they're a local label and WAM stands for We Are Mook (see previous blog posts for an explanation!). They have a great ethos that ties in really nicely with the Unorthodox one and we are very pleased to be stocking them. This t-shirt, as with all the WAM Apparel tees and hoodies we have in, is screen printed and limited edition.

Right, back to much less fun things!

And another week begins

Morning,

Hope everyone had a good weekend. From the visitors we had to the shop, it seems the Max C pieces are proving really popular for summer for the ladies, while the Worn Free t-shirts seem to be the pick for the boys.

Just a quick note to draw your attention to our local produce. We strongly believe in supporting the local community, especially it's artists, which is why alongside our big name labels, we also stock brand from within Northamptonshire. These currently include WAM Apparel t-shirts and hoodies, Maddie bags and accessories, JP Jewellery, Louise Berrill artwork, CDs by The Hounds, and perhaps the ultimate local label, Dr Martens. With all of these, we try to strike a fair deal for the producer in order to support and encourage them, and to offer you something that's different and in many cases, limited edition or one-offs. So next time you pop in, take a peek at some of the local bits and pieces, you may find a gem and lots of good karma!

Pick of the day today is this Temporary:Secretary Plate Of Biscuits ring. Cute as anything, the porcelain plate is about 3cm and covered in little tiny biscuits. As they are handmade, they can vary from the picture shown, but they are all very very cute. The ring is adjustable and 'one size fits all' so should suit most people. Guaranteed to make yourself or someone else smile.

Have a good week!

Our very first special offer

Morning,

Thought I'd give you a heads up on our very first special offer. Details are over on our Facebook page so head on over there, click 'Like' and have a look. But be quick, it only runs for today and tomorrow.

Pick of the day today is this WAM Apparel 'Yes Sir' t-shirt. I've talked about WAM Apparel before on here, but they are a local Northamptonshire label, the t-shirts are screen printed, and all limited edition. I love the talking hats on this one. If you want something a bit kooky, this is it. The sizing is men's but I'm sure the ladies would love it too.

World Cup starts today! Very excited!

I love the smell of tar in the morning

Morning,

Pick of the day today is this WAM Apparel 'Snarling Dog' t-shirt. I showcased the hoodie version a few weeks ago (and we still have a couple of those in stock if you liked it). WAM Apparel are a local label, as I explained in an earlier blog posting. The t-shirt is screen printed, and limited edition. We also have a couple of other WAM Apparel t-shirt designs in at the moment, so have a look. This one seems to get the most attention though.

Have you had a look at our Dr Martens catalogue yet? We don't have the Autumn/Winter collection in stock yet, but we can take orders. Pop in and have a look.

Kawaii!

Morning

Well, mannequins have been changed again. Kurt is wearing Spiral Direct shorts with a WAM Apparel Snarling Dog t-shirt, Courtney is in the navy blue Max C dress, and Frances is wearing the Death Kitty red pinstripe drainpipe jeans with a Spiral Direct diamante skull bandeau top. Going to add the Temporary Secretary Alice charm necklace to Courtney and then they'll be all set for the week.

Pick of the day is this Temporary Secretary Hello Kitty ring (photo courtesy of Temporary Secretary). It's not going to put a strain on your wallet, and it's perfect to treat yourself or make someone smile. The ring is silver plated, and adjustable. We also have Temporary Secretary Hello Kitty earrings too.

Anyway, not feeling too great today so I'll cut this short and go sit in a corner until I feel better!
