Original Penguin | Casual Active Collection

GarçonJon has been at it again - this time delivering some great shots for Original Penguin's new Casual Active Collection.

For anyone who doesn't know GarçonJon, stop reading this and go and take a look at his site.

For anyone who does, marvel at these pics and then check out the Casual Active Collection - a neat looking set of tees and polos, that are going to be a great option if you need to stock-up in time for the sun's reappearance.

Keeping Fit | Original Penguin: Vintage Gym Collection

I do love me some gym gear. Even my first post for Buckets and Spades, all those twelve months ago, was on a selection of clothes for the gym.

Original Penguin have just launched their own gym range, with a 1950s feel about it. There's exactly what you'd expect in here, t-shirts, hoodies, sweat pants, and gym bags - all great looking stuff.

What's most interesting though, is rather than the typical press release with images attached, Original Penguin have done something...well...original.

Working with the incredible photographer Jonathan D Pryce (otherwise known as Garçon Jon) - and I don't say that to encourage a RT from him, check out his images here! - Original Penguin have spoken to four guys who like their fashion as much as they like their fitness.

Basketball, callisthenics (look it up!), tennis, and dancing. It's quite a range and hopefully it will inspire folks to try something new or help them push on with whatever exercise they love.
