Maketh the Man

If you've managed to find your way onto our blog, then hopefully you know what Sir Plus does and how it came about. If you don't, here's a little article that sums it up quite well.

Thanks Maketh the Man!

Olympic Opinion

Whilst doing business at Spitalfields a couple of weeks ago, I was approached by an artist called Oleg Tolstoy. He was doing a piece called Olympic Opinion - asking people to write their view of the Olympics onto a Polaroid of themselves.
I went to the preview last week and was really impressed. You can read about it in the Standard, or go to the exhibition at the Bermondsey Project yourself.

Just to clarify - I was hoping it would be good for business, but I'm sure it's great for the busses as well.
Fortunately Portobello and Spitalfields over the weekend were buzzing with Olympic visitors gagging for fresh boxers and smart waistcoats. Looks like I got what I hoped for!

Behind the Scenes - Paradise Photo Shoot

Sir Plus and friends had a splendid time recording this video 

We hope it gets across a bit what we're all about - great clothes and big smiles.

Enjoy..

Tweed Run 2012

Team Tweed gather before the whistle goes.

You could be forgiven for thinking you were imagining things, if over the weekend you saw traffic come to a halt, to allow for hundreds of tweed clad cyclists tipping their hats and cheering “Tally Ho!”

What you were in-fact experiencing was the third London Tweed Run, which describes itself as ‘a metropolitan bike ride with a bit of style’.

Participants apply online for one of 400 extremely coveted tickets. Successful applicants are sent the location of the meet, where everyone convenes at 10:30 am, before setting off.

As the name suggests, tweed is the cloth of choice. Passers by were bemused by what looked like a scene from Downton Abbey meets the Circus! There was a selection of Penny-Farthings, Bromptons, fixed wheels and glammed up Borris Bikes – their owners standing alongside them beaming, like proud parents on sports day.

Sunday’s route took cyclists on a leisurely twelve-mile tour across Central London. Tea was served at the Imperial War Museum, where cupcakes were handed out freely and Murdocks were available to shape moustaches.

Then it was off for the second leg, which wove around East London, before the finale at a pub called the Blacksmith and the Toffeemaker. Graham Coxon awarded prizes to the most “dashing dame” and “dapper chap”, before a band took stage and revellers danced the night away.

In the bustle of London life, it was most refreshing and enjoyable to share this experience with such friendly people, all enthusiastic and willing to have a good time.

Sir Plus recommends applying for next year!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

For Sir Plus, May is a very good month.
With the Tweed Run taking place this Sunday, there is already cause for celebration.
Add to that the arrival of our boxers in Murdock of London and a special birthday, you can probably understand why we're excited!

Some of Sir Plus' range will be on sale at Spirit of Summer, under the Herringwood stand (E28). If you would like tickets let us know, as we've got a few spare.
As always, we will be at Spitalfields market  on Sunday. Our stall moves around, so check our facebook to find out where we'll be.

Help Wanted

Lords, Lades and Gentleman,

As Sir Plus nears its first year of trading, its time to get an extra pair of hands on board.
If you know someone who's flexible and keen to get some work experience, tell them to make themselves known. They can either send a pigeon, or contact us using the email address below.

Said intern will be given generous responsibility and will get a real feel for what it's like to work for a small (growing) start up brand.

That's all for today.

Regards,

Sir Plus

Sir Plus and Cad and The Dandy

This week Sir Plus received a call from our good friends at Cad & the Dandy, asking us to deliver some of our acclaimed undies.

Sir Plus jumped on the tube with a trunk containing 50 pairs in a variety of styles.
When you pass their shop in Bank, do go in and introduce yourself. Say your a friend of Sir Plus' and they might even give you a deal on a suit!

Best,

Sir Plus
