It all started 25 years ago. Paul finished a degree in obscure eastern religions, and was surprised to find he couldn't get a job. Not a problem, a friend had a sewing machine,

Poor Righteous Students Clothing (“PRS”) is rooted in the concepts of humility, wisdom, and culture expressed through artistic designs and styles. Why the name Poor Righteous Students?
The word Poor symbolizes the concept of humility and the need to stay grounded in a materialistic world. We feel that a person’s worth is not based on how much money they have, but what they do during their lifetime. The word Righteous symbolizes the idea of leading a life focused on doing good and increasing the good in the world. The word Students symbolizes the concept that a person never really ceases to be a student even when they become a teacher. If knowledge is infinite then the learning process never stops.
The idea for Poor Righteous Students was born in February 2009 by Ben Jones and Kyle Mosley. Already friends from their college days at the University of Illinois, Ben and Kyle partnered up to merge their talents and create the PRS brand. Kyle had experience designing shirts for his own brand KMos, as well as for businesses and organizations within Chicago. Ben had aspired to create his own clothing and sneaker line in college, but never developed a concept that he could put his heart behind.
After college they went in different professional directions, with Ben going to law school and practicing law for a firm in Chicago, and Kyle focusing on marketing and sales. In the early months of 2009 Kyle and Ben met and brainstormed ways in which they could merge their talents to create a new and unique brand. They realized that if they put their passions together, they could develop a culture through clothing that would encourage the minds of the masses.
The UK Bungee Club (UKBC) was established in 1992 and is the market leader for Bungee Jumping in the UK. As the pioneer of commercial Bungee Jumping in Britain, the UKBC now facilitates all jumps sold by Britain’s leading retailers and gift experience companies such as Boots, WHSmith, Buy a Gift, ExElement and Red Letter Days.
With permanent venues nationwide the UKBC operates bungee jumps from both fixed structures and cranes. With the UK’s only bridge bungee jump, the UK’s only indoor venue and regular jump heights from 160ft to 400ft, the UK Bungee Club has unparalleled experience in bungee jumping activities.
The professionalism and excellent safety record of the company has led to the UKBC being first choice for television production companies and channels worldwide including Endemol, Tiger Aspect and Outline Productions to name a few, producing shows for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky, NBC and ESPN. Working with over 200 charities both large and small the UKBC has facilitated and organised charity events raising in excess of £3 million for good causes.
During its existence and due to the nature of the work the UKBC has become involved with other activities acting as advisors as well as organising and running events such as abseils, zip wires, drop slides and adventure trips around the world.
In the 1990’s The UK Bungee Club was responsible for running one of the most famous permanent jump facilities in the world, Adrenalin Village, located at Chelsea Bridge in Battersea, London. A permanent feature on the London skyline UKBC’s 300ft tower crane dispatched 11,000 bungee jumpers every year over the Thames. Alongside this a floating hostel housed thrill seekers from all over the globe with a total of 100,000 people visiting the site in its final year of operation. This was also the venue for the qualifying rounds of The World Extreme Games in association with the television company ESPN, which the UKBC facilitated in 1995.
In October 2006 The UK Bungee Club secured the rights to jump from the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge. A milestone for Bungee Jumping in the UK – it was the first time that members of the public had been allowed to jump from a UK Bridge since members of Oxford University performed the first ever bungee jump in its modern form from the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol in 1979. On December 17, 2007, the UK Bungee Club bungee jumped American news anchor Anne Curry off the world famous Transporter Bridge to raise money for charity. Her jump was shown on the NBC news Today show at about 8:13 am Eastern time and went out live to 8 million people.
The UK Bungee Club also runs The Abyss @ Magna, the world’s only indoor bungee jump. Located and housed in the 150ft Face of Steel Building at the award winning Magna Science Adventure Centre in Rotherham, a £46million Millennium project which opened in 2001. An extensive build project, The Abyss @ Magna opened in 2005 and has received national and international press coverage as well as being a venue for numerous TV and film projects. As a result The Abyss @ Magna was awarded the Best Tourism Experience 2006 by the Yorkshire Tourist board. Working with the board and management of Magna, The Abyss has continued to progress with the installation of a new 250ft zip wire and a 150ft PowerFan descender, these activities were built alongside a new £2.7 million corporate development project at the centre.

Designed by Hannah Morrison, in a departure from the usual band merchandise, bamboo fabric T-s were printed using soft water based inks to create a retail look for Deadmau5. The garments were then re-labelled and presented in organic canvas bags, also printed with water based inks. In a music download culture, it looks like artists are not just recognising the increased importance of merchandise, but also wanting to present a high street quality product.

Think Polo think elitist sport? Not anymore. Official figures show that since 2001 the number of registered players in the UK and Ireland has almost doubled.
Polo has had to evolve in the face of the economic climate to survive and the businesses connected to the world of polo are finding themselves having to change rapidly. One such business launching this month is Stickhedz.
Stickhedz aims to change polo fashion to reflect the actual needs of these new players, grooms, trainers and fans: affordable fashion they will want to wear on and off the pitch.
The last twenty years has seen polo expanding at such a rate as never seen since pre WWI amassing some 3250 registered players. Sam Morris-Warburton, long-term polo-addict and director of Stickhedz said, “All walks of life have been flocking to take up the challenge of this modern extreme sport as it has become more and more affordable. I want Stickhedz Polo Apparel to reflect the fresh new approach this influx of people brings to polo fashion and the way polo sees itself.”

The Story
Samurai warriors follow strict codes known as the “The way of the warrior” or Bushido, and are bound to their lord and community by duty and honour. A Samurai Master counted on absolute loyalty from his vassals in order to implement military and economic statibility for his community and to prevent chaos. The loyalty of the Samurai to their lord was so strong that warriors would fight to their death in order to protect their master’s castle or commit seppuku (an honurable death rather than surrender to the enemy) should they have felt they disgraced their lord.
Upon the loss of their lord, a samurai becomes masterless and known as a drifting person or Ronin. The famous tale of the 47 ronin occured during the start of the 18th century, when a group of samurai became leaderless after their lord was forced to commit seppuku by another lord. The Ronin avenged their masters honour by secretly assassinating the opposing lord. Knowingly as a result these Ronin were forced to commit Seppuku themselves. This depicts the strength of the Samurai ways of sacrifice, loyalty, skills of combat (yocu) and honour until death.
Zen and Fuka embodies the extremes of great and evil in the samurai’s way of life and the celebrates the code of sacrifice, loyalty and honour to their lord.
The Brand
Each Zen & Fuka garment is designed using premium quality fabrics meticulously sourced and put together with the greatest attention to detail, perfect for the modern day Samurai of the streets. Zen & Fuka is the new code in streetwear.
It’s always a pleasure to print t-shirts associated with a sporting success, but the experience is all the sweeter when it concerns a contender from Nottingham.October screen printed Carl Froch’s t-shirts for his recent WBC Super Middleweight fight with Jean Pascal.
The distressed design led us to the decision that discharge inks should be used, along with an enzyme washed garment — this created a vintage look to match what turned out to be a vintage performance, reminiscent of the great Benn v Eubank encounters of the past.
Carl will no doubt now get the opportunities he deserves — Madison Square Garden next summer? Watch this space.
