Dylan & Kelsea are a British company that make ’strictly’ limited edition surfwear, now I’m sure most of you are wondering just how successful a surfwear company can be when it’s based on my rainy little island. Well, us Brits are made of strong stuff and surfing is actually pretty big, and in the same way that the Brits buy more convertible cars than our hotter European neighbours, we all seem to love surf-inspired clothing regardless of whether we intend to stand on a board.

This has to be good for D&K, and in turn its good for us because it means that hopefully they’ll be turning out quality designs for a long time to come. There’s a real emphasis upon quality, whether it’s the short runs (up to 100 pieces), or the by-hand distressing and dying process which makes every tee unique. The small size of the current collection (5 designs) also ensures that there’s no filler pieces. The designs are bold and bright, which is surprising considering they have a vintage look, although if you’re a hater of companies that put their name on their designs then you probably won’t be a fan of D&K, but there is still a lot of style to the use of the name, so it isn’t as much of a crime as with most companies. In terms of price, you pay for what you get with a small-run British company, coming in at £25.
