I suppose when you think about it, most of the clothing out in the market place aimed at anglers is all quite samey. Be it colours, styles, cuts or whatever, it's all pretty standard. Most of this is obviously to do with the fact that it's designed for purpose and by its very nature needs to keep the angler in comfort whilst also keeping the elements out. As such, there's never much out there to inspire, and it's usually a case of urban, mundane, or downright chavvy!
One north west company hoping to buck that trend is Cheshire based Phat Fish Clothing. They've created quite a stir with a new range of bankside clothing aimed at the über-chilled angler. With laid back designs focusing on quality and humour, their garments are just as well suited to the pub as they are to the carp lake.
We'd like to think we know a thing or two about clothing at Northwestcarp.co.uk, we do runs of our own top quality branded garments on a regular basis for the site and we get sent lots to look at from those thinking of going into business, and to be honest, we have to say that most of the stuff we see is gash... poor quality prints and embroidery on poor quality garments... first time through the wash and it's anybody's guess what will come out the other end!
With regard to Phat Fish, it's great to see they've come at it from the opposite end of the spectrum offering top notch garments that are built to last with high quality prints and embroidery. Phat Fish sent me a few bits from their range to review a while ago and on opening up the package my wife commented that they looked good quality and were very different - and that sums it up really; top quality gear that's very different from the norm.
It's always nice to ‘big up' a local company, especially when the gear they are doing is right up there. What's also nice is that the prices are realistic - maybe another northern influence! There's loads of designs, styles and colours to choose from, with headwear starting at under a tenner, T Shirts under fifteen pounds and hoodies at under thirty pounds. Quality.
If you're in need of some new attire for a night out on the bank or a night out on the town, then look no further. You can view the full range and buy online at: http://www.phatfishclothing.co.uk
Highly recommended!
