Sometimes you don't need clothesWords and Photos by Ed Oxley

Just a pair of shorts, our Action Shorts from a couple of years ago of course, is all that’s needed today here on the beach in Brighton. The simple and free pleasure of a swim in the sea achieves a balance, with the exuberance of Pride weekend. What a great weekend, in such a great city. The triangle of Brighton, Bristol and Hebden Bridge was mentioned a few times in conversations out and about.

Getting dressed after my dip I noticed the detail of the chain stitched hem on my Echo Vest, looking fine in the sunshine. It’s the little things sometimes that only you see when you wear great clothes with neat details.

Warming in the breeze, the vest is such a great thing to have when you’re travelling. Plenty of pockets too so you can carry all your bits and bobs without the need for a bag.
