All Blues Co. (Leeds)
Another must-visit boutique to spring up in Leeds’ Corn Exchange building in recent years, All Blues Co. is a purveyor of all things heritage and Americana.
The guys behind the store aim to create a community of like-minded people who keep coming back again and again, even if it’s just for a chat.
If the conversation isn’t enough to get you hooked, the selection of the best globally-sourced heritage brands certainly will. All Blues Co. stocks lesser known brands such as Gung-Ho, Le Labourer, and Boozehound, which have roots in places like France and Korea, as well as more established and well-known brands, such as Champion, Sperry and Lee.

Xile Clothing (Edinburgh/Glasgow)
Arguably Edinburgh’s most exciting clothier, Xile burst onto the Scottish capital’s streets in 1984. Since then, it has expanded into a small retail empire that spans stores in Edinburgh, Livingston and Glasgow, as well as an online store that epitomises clean and considered design.
What sets Xile apart from its competitors is its assemblage of British brands with a contemporary edge, including 140-year-old Scottish label Lyle & Scott, the more street- and sportswear-led Blood Brother and Boy London, as well as coveted international brands such as Yohji Yamamoto, Saucony and Canada Goose.
A refreshing alternative to many retailers’ overly commercialised editorial, Xile’s blog revolves more around satellite areas of interest from marketing campaigns the team considers captivating, to whatever tracks are currently on the store’s playlist.
