It's about your style and how you wear it.
Akeef's the menswear store at the forefront of Kreuzberg's growing fashion movement. The store has grown from humble beginnings to become the go-to place for the conscientious Berlin male. This growth is based upon a reputation for high quality, long lasting clothing and a warm, friendly nature towards customers. Unassuming from outside, the store's white walls and natural wooden interior provide a tranquil home to a range of premium denim, fine shirting and knitwear, sports jackets and a variety of footwear and accessories. The clothing is carefully selected season on season with an emphasis on functionality, durability and customer needs rather than short-term trends. There's also a basement space used for events and parties. Akeef's an independent store, proud to stock a range of great independent labels; a sentiment in keeping with its Kreuzberg home.

This collarless shirt with a shorterned placket was the traditional uniform of rowers based at Henley-on-Thames, England. Now popular worldwide, fit, comfort and feel are everything. There really is no better base-layer. Here's a few we have now available at Akeef and www.Akeef.net.
Here's the Lee 101 Henley in Black. We also have it in Heather Grey.
This is the Whyszeck Henley. Its lightweight, soft fabric make is a really comfortable wear.
Michael wears the Banuq Seraphina Shirt. Sourced and Produced in Africa, the Black is exclusive to Akeef. The buttoned chest pocket is a great detail.
Order yours now for the sunshine!

Goodbye to a Friend
Kazim's been with us a year and established the website. Today's his final day at Akeef where he'll always be remembered for his spelling, his eyes and tireless work rate.
When asked for last words Kazim said "It's been a pleasure, and I'm surprised I lasted this long!"
We wish Kazim all the best in his future wherever he may move onto next.

Cotton Club
A combination of growing cotton demand and a push by speculators in buying has led to fears of skyrocketing cotton prices worldwide. The Intercontinental Exchange Inc, is increasing scrutiny on speculators amid soaring demand that has nearly tripled cotton prices in the last 12 months, threatening the profits of mills, commodity suppliers and apparel producers.
The number of cotton contracts outstanding has grown by 21% in the last year, boosted by an influx of hedge funds and small speculators. The squeeze could come in the next few weeks as cotton mills are holding contracts to buy cotton under the March contract, which expires on March 9. Under normal circumstances, they would have already locked in a price for that cotton. But as prices kept soaring, many held off, hoping for lower prices that never came. Between now and March 9, market participants wanting to hold more than 300 contracts, the equivalent of 30,000 bales, must request approval and prove they have an economic need for the cotton, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. The fear is that speculators could put the squeeze on the mills by buying up cotton, driving prices even higher. In response, ICE on Thursday said it would start to require buyers taking big positions in the cotton markets to justify a need

"Cotton is a mess. It's moving so quickly, predominantly up. Every day you pass thinking you are going to see something better, you risk missing out on cotton all together. If you don't take cotton today, your costs are escalating and you are under water pretty quickly." Tracy Linton, vice president of Galey & Lord, a textile mill told The Journal.
Regulators take a dim view of excessive speculation in commodities markets, arguing that it can distort prices and make it harder for producers and users of commodities to manage their risk. They say it also may negate fundamental investment factors like supply and demand.

Though they are now a euro a dozen.
If I were Brian, I would have been a little bit sweeter and kept the bitch.
After reading a recent article in the Guardian, I was reminded of Keith's one liners though out Stanley Booths book, "The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones"
With his autobiography soon to be released, here is one of the most recent Keith Tee I have liked.

667 - One Step Ahead...
In a recent interview with HeadlessRooster, 667 talked about their ethos and their aim for the following collection...
"...the development of this winter collection started with a sentence which we couldn’t get out of our head:
“The bitter taste of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten”.
...We chose this claim to be our guideline for future seasons, because what is worse than buying a nice garment and after a short time you see and feel that the quality is bad..."
Here at akeef we couldn't agree more! And so do you, these coats have already been flying out!
Check 667's collection online; first up is the Duffle and the Traveller Jackets.
Knits coming online Friday.

We're LIVE !
Wow.
We've actually made it.
It's nearly too much. I think i might dry cry.
After what seems like an age and more, we have finally finished our online store and here it is, our proudest moment so far. Nearly, as proud as when we wore some denim for 367 days, daily, and then spun them on a hot wash.
Some things are worth the wait, the said pair of jeans were most definitely worth wearing for all that time just to get to that stage, post wash when I owned the most beautifully organic stone-washed denim. And the site too is worth the wait, in all its glory we present to you akeef.net ; after months of blood, sweat and selvage denim.
WE ARE ALIVE !!

Stuff We Like : Spectrals
We love the Spectrals.
They make the kind of music that sounds like what would happen if Phil Specter produced the The Coral and only let them listen to old copies of the Ronettes for the entire time whilst they recorded their album.
Basically, its amazing. Its been a while since we've been so excited about a new band.
Completely addictive.
