New Arrivals: Tiger of Sweden Men's Spring/Summer 2010
The Tiger of Sweden Spring/Summer 2010 collection takes off where our concept of reality ends. We enter a landscape of dreams, built from our subconscious mind. Historically, the artistic direction has been dubbed surrealism. It formed during the 1920's as a reaction against the established and conform ideas of the time. Instead, surrealism built on ideas of how to release the mind from the body.

We've got our first delivery from Tiger of Sweden.

New Arrivals: Barbour
The Classic Beaufort jacket.
(Pictured with Tannis Hegan recycled fur earmuffs, a fantastic city catch for your game pocket)
The Classic Beaufort Looks great on women too.
The international Jacket
The debate about who it was that first invented the motorcycle jacket rages on eighty years after it's inception. The only thing that anyone can agree on is that it is a British invention.
The Barbour story takes us back to the 1930's when:
Duncan Barbour (John Barbour's grandson), a keen motorcyclist himself, introduced a motorcycling range in the 1930’s which quickly took off, and Barbour suits were worn by virtually every British International team from 1936 to 1977 when Barbour made the decision to pull out of the motorcycle clothing market. In 1957, 97% of all competitors who took part in the Scottish 6 Day Event rode in Barbour International Oiled Cotton suits.
The history of the Barbour International is connected to a one piece know as the "Ursula Suit" named for the Ursula, one of the first U-Class submarines. Captain George Phillips (captain of the Ursula) had Barbour cut the suit into two, add elastic to the pants and create a jacket from the top half. He paid out of his own pocket to have the prototypes made for himself and his (bridge) watchmen. "Ursula Suits" became standard issue in the submarine service.
All that we have to say about it is: Steven McQueen.
Although we love the Beaufort and the Bedale on women as much as we love it for men we made sure to bring in styles just for women.
The Hampshire
The Antique Union Jack
...and the antique coastal durham jacket are all fit for a woman. All three are flattering on every size and shape.
Barbour is one of those brands that keeps moving forward steady and strong. With three royal warrants and more then one hundred years of history it has proven to be relevant regardless of world events or generation gaps. If you are interested in reading about the entire history of Barbour you can do so here. Once you wear a Barbour you will wonder how you've ever lived without one.

Carl Haessner IIX Olympia: Zeha Berlin Story (Sneak Peak Part 3)
When Germany won the World Cup in 1954 Zeha football boots were on their feet. Renowned for their research, innovation and improvisation (leather was scarce in East Germany), Zeha was ‘acquired’ by the state in 1972, when it became a nationally-owned company.
Zeha is an East German success story which ground to a halt when the Wall fell in 1989. After ceasing production in 1993, Zeha fell into oblivion until 2003, when two Berliners realized their dream of giving the sport shoes of their youth a new lease on life. Building on the legendary models, a new chapter in Zeha's history will now be written with cutting-edge technology and the finest Italian leather - the era of Zeha Berlin.

Vancouver Olympics Journal (pt 1)
As 2009 drew closer to 2010 we at Lark spent a lot of time trolling the internet for sites, blogs, anything that would give us an idea of how this massive event would affect us. Since we came up empty we decided that for those in London, and Olympics beyond, we would write about our experiences.
Lark is located at edge of the Olympic village. On Main Street (where we are located) street parking will be prohibited from February 4th to March 21st. There are two good sized parking lots about a block away from the store. The Olympic village is between our location and downtown Vancouver, which is almost entirely surrounded by water.
Today is February 3rd and so far it feels like any other February. The news tells us that there are about 2 million more people in the city, mostly media and I believe the athletes themselves are starting to arrive as well. We've also heard that pick pockets and thieves have also already arrived and that we should be wary. No sign of this Olympic element yet either.
We are looking forward to the excitement.
Carl Haessner IIX Olympia: Sneak Peak (Part 2)
Just a little more sneak peak from a Zeha-Berlin's special archive edition collaborated with Lark. It'll be unveiled this Sunday...
