OAKS OLD BOYS RUGBY

" Big thank you to all @clubblazer for our fantastic new blazers great quality and fit, and bang on the money"

 

 

Introducing the new Oaks Old Boys official rugby blazer.

Perry Club take great pride in both the clubs we work with and our Blazers. The Oaks Old Boys blazer reflects the heritage of the club and their unique style. The tasteful emerald green, white and navy stripe compliments the clubs crest beautifully, and adds an edge to a classically tailored jacket. It has been a pleasure working with the club to create a club blazer they can wear with pride. We wish the team all the best for their future endeavours and hope to work with them again in the future!

Eve of the Ashes

 

Twas the night before the Ashes, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The bats were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that England's victory soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of wickets danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘polo-shirt, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long Ashes nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

 

Image from BBC sport cricket

The moon on the breast of the newly mowed pitch
Gave the lustre of mid-day to the batsman's, gloves stitch .
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But England's top bowler, followed by eight "cricketeers".

With an over arm bowl, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Andersons flick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Baistow! now, Bell! now, Carberyy and Jordan!
On, Cook! On, Wright! on, on Tredwell and Morgan!
To the top of the Wicket! to the top of the Wall!
Now Swing away! Swing away! Swing away all!"

 



PREP IT UP : SUMMER STYLE

Perry Club Blazer

With summer fast approaching, trade in your suit and embrace a lighter look.

 Summer the sparkling, Prosecco infused season. The aroma of sweet strawberries and sun oil fills the senses and provokes inner, child like spirits. Lets strip away our stuffy suits and jump head first into luxurious pastels and bold prints. 

Whether the rustic backstreets of Venice are your favored destination or the mosaic mazes of Barcelona, Perry Club has the blazer to ignite any summer wardrobe. Pack your bag light and let Perry take you from a casual stroll in the city, to a candle lit dinner in the country.   

GET THE LOOK

Add a crisp white shirt and slim fit jeans to desert boots for a "casually tailored" approach.

 Accessorize with a vintage holdall.

Tour de Yorkshire

...Welcome to Yorkshire...

This year is the start of a new cycling tradition. The Tour de Yorkshire has a new challenging route and aims to extend last year’s Grand Depart and use two entirely new routes. With the vast Yorkshire landscape and with a bustling busy crowd it is sure to be an amazing event! 

Bridlington will host the first stage of the race; the riders will pass through the stunning coastal scenery and the iconic North Yorkshire terrain. The cyclists will sprint to the finish line on the waterfront at Scarborough.  

The second day will see the competitors begin their journey in the charming town of Selby before a route through the wolds of East Yorkshire. The race will end with an intense circuit around York city centre, great viewing for the spectators. 

The finale of the Tour revisits last year’s Grand Depart of the Tour de France. The race begins in Wakefield at noon and embraces challenging climbs including the infamous Cow and Calf. The Tour de Yorkshire will end in Roundhay Park Leeds where  there is expected to be a flurry of spectators to cheer the riders over the finish line for a thrilling climax to the three day event.

Make sure you’re in Yorkshire this weekend to enjoy the spectacle

and drama of this fast paced sporting event!

Celebrate your club with a beautifully tailored blazer from Yorkshire!

With large crowds expected on the river tow path the Thames will be the place to be this Saturday ..... and to think it all started as a challenge between old school friends!

Masters 2015

The illustrious Green jacket- Made in England

With the Masters teeing off today, Perry Club thought it would gain an insight into the manufacturing journey of the famous jacket.

The first jackets were made by the Brooks Uniform Company in New York. However they proved not to be popular with members of the Augusta National Golf Club due to the thick material that was used.

The modern Green jacket cloth is now woven, dyed and finished in West Yorkshire – close to our factory!  Just like our own blazers all aspects of the green jacket are today Made in England.

If your club would like to start a great tradition to promote the heritage of your club we can design and develop your own Club Champion’s jacket to the same beautiful quality...

Call Perry Club today on 0113 2389520

The ‘Masters green’ is the official colour of the Augusta National Golf Club.
