The Making Of 'The Isle Of Wight Parka'

As Beady Eye made their debut UK festival appearance in the Isle of Wight, we knew we had to create something special to mark the occasion…

We decided to provide some Great British swagger by reworking one of our trademark parka’s and giving it a traditional twist.

This is the making of the ‘Union Jack Parka’ by our design team and it’s grand unveiling to the IOW crowd.

Erm. Didn't Alexander McQueen already do this for David Bowie? Nothing original here...does look good though. I think only a rock star can pull it off..

this shop has seriously annoyed me today. I think that adding delivery to these overpriced gaments is a joke and if you want another size you have to pay the postage again when sending it back. Sorry Pretty Green I walked away from a £90 t shirt today and won't be coming back!!!

Nice parka, but it`s got nothing on the Fake London parka he wore at Finsbury park.

Epic! Good soundtrack too

The initial line of clothing was spot on, then they changed manufacturers and the sizing changed, Paul Weller was a childhood hero until I saw his input! What the f**k is that all about? Ted Baker all the way!

Bolongaro Trevor! Nuff said!

i agree with gary, the paul weller line is truly awful. and drab in colour too. i bought a red t-shirt a couple of years ago. there really hasnt been anything else i wanted to buy sicne because its so overpriced, and there are much better clothing lines out there.
