Made It Here — a Style Selection by Borough’s Graham McLoughlin
Style Selection #27 | Compiled by Graham McLoughlin.
Riding my bike dictates little what I wear on the bicycle. As I get older, I care less and less about fashion and more about timeless quality and simple style that’s practical for all seasons. Often the items are manufactured or made here in the UK, a reflection of my interest in local manufacturing and the stories and people behind each product.
Dear Susan Epiplectic Bicycle
These weird and wonderfully eccentric creations, are the great works of London based bicycle frame builder, Petor Georgallou
Drake's Oxford Shirt
Few shirts are more tasteful than a light blue shirt. Drakes make some lovely pieces, like this one. Hand crafted in Cornwall.
Borough Card Holder
Simplify your life by separating your card payments. Hand crafted in Manchester from natural saddle leather.
Walsh Trainers
Are the only 100% British sports shoe company. In recent years they have seen a resurgence, having collaborated with Universal Works and M&S to name but a few. Handcrafted in Bolton
Borough 'James' Backpack
Minimal design, maximum carry options: as a duffle-tote, by the vertical grab handles or as a backpack. Hand-crafted in the Lake District from sailing canvas and natural saddle leather.
Beaufort Glasses by Saville Row Eyewear
Makers of John Lennons glasses and one time manufacturers of the NHS glasses, these glasses are still handmade in London.

Classic London style, carefully adapted for city cycling. And made in Britain, too.
