Albam has been one of the biggest supporters and sellers of our magazine and it's been great to work with the company over the last year. While they've helped spread our product, they have also grown at a tremendous rate themselves over the last 12 months. Since I met James and the crew last summer, they've added two more shops and a number of new products. On my recent visit to London I was able to see the Spitalfields shop and quite liked the new space. I would have to say it's my favorite Albam shop of the three locations and it was nice to see the increasingly nice selection of print alongside the increasingly good offering of soft goods.

Not too many lines but well thought out ones.
What they do they do really well, which is why they've been able to expand at such a rapid rate. They also benefit from having great people who work in all of the shops - I pop in for a chat with them as much as I do to buy stuff. Also they are starting to push forward again - the amazing Ventile jacket they did recently for instance, plus things in the pipeline that should be great.
All in all they're a real credit to the UK's menswear scene in my opinion.
i think their pricing is really on the mark,
every albam item i buy fits as it should
having oipolloi sell your clothing,the 1 and only outlet other than themselves shows they must be doing it something right
Take EG, they try to be more creative than before, using funky fabrics and slimming down the silhouettes. They seem to catch up really well with the fashion crowd (looking at where they are stocked) but I would not define them now as a somewhat classic brand like I used to in the past.
