Attention hipsters: Hebden Bridge Trouser Co is the place.

[Globalti]

Brant Richards, creator of On One mountain bikes and Ed Oxley, bearded Lancashire mountain bike guide, have pooled their resources and created the most hipster of hipster brands for us chaps: http://hebtro.co/

Have a look at the short film on their "About" page and yearn to live up here in the True North!

Ha ha - the next time that I have £110 to spend on a pair of moleskin trousers, I will treat myself to a pair!

When I first moved to the town, Hebden Cord was still open.

Moleskin, scientifically perfected to attract all pet hairs within a 100m radius

I remember Brant, as a skinny, sarcastic, kid, when he worked in 'Two Wheels Good' in Leeds
(before he was writing for MBuk)
John Stevenson also worked in the shop

Hebden Bridge is a long way south of the True North.

It was 1989, when I bought my Marin Pine Mountain from there, & then a Bear Valley, for the girlfriend of the time (wife since 1998)
Then an Orbit America, in 1990

£100 for a pair of quality trousers isn't too much.

I don't buy clothes very often but when i do i like them to last. And i like them to fit. I find it difficult to find a pair of keks that are cut properly these days. I have the body of a grown man, not a 16 year-old.

Do they come pre-soiled these days?

Went into M&S for the first time in ages. Someone had given me a £20 gift voucher and I thought I would buy myself some pyjamas (I am spending Christmas away with rellies and my usual night attire might frighten the horses)
I couldn't find anything smaller than a size 20!
Still have the voucher.

The Prime Minister paid nearly ten times that for hers.
