MKI Miyuki Zoku (Leeds)
Housed in the iconic Corn Exchange building in central Leeds, MKI has been kitting out the north’s most stylish men for the best part of a decade.
Founded by Vik Tailor, a former head of tailoring for Paul Smith, the store takes its name from the Miyuki Zoku, a Tokyo fashion tribe during the 1960s who brought US Ivy League styles to Japan for the first time.
MKI Miyuki Zoku is a multi-brand retail space, stocking an ever-changing selection of guest brands. However, the main focus is the eponymous in-house label, which offers stylish, superior quality contemporary menswear, at affordable prices.

End Clothing (Newcastle)
One of the UK’s foremost menswear providers, End started out in 2005 in Newcastle but recently spilt over into Glasgow with a new 3,500-square-foot flagship.
Online, End’s now a different beast; offering the slickest of streetwear, exclusive trainer drops and homespun British clothing. Appreciating that today’s man needs more than high quality clobber to impress, End also stocks an array of grooming labels from Murdock, Aesop, Imperial and Baxter of California along with fragrances from Comme Des Garçons.
With a roster full of world-renowned brands, you may need a word of advice on where to spend your money first. Luckily, the store’s blog is updated daily with posts focusing specifically on noteworthy products, collections and labels, all featuring rich, illustrative photography shot by the team at End themselves.
