Just Peachy
We had a remarkably civilised soiree to launch our delightful new installation by the lovely Katy & Nina aka Peach, following which everyone regrouped Under the Stairs for more fun. Sunday evenings are the new Thursday nights!

L is for Pageant
Disc jockey, scientist and all around awesome greek bon viveur, L was spotted in some of our wares recently (Cheap Monday jeans, shirt and CTRL tee in case you were wondering). Looking good in a good look homie! Buy some fresh Pageant goodies too and you might just end up with a smidgeon of his encyclopedic musical knowledge...
We're on the List, actually…
Our good friends at the List Magazine asked us to keep a little Pageant diary in the hectic run up to our opening night - read it here:
Thanks to Jannica for the lovely pics too! We lookin' good...
Writin' my name...
Recoat, our fam through West (who have helped us out immensely, not least with an awesome Keirin-influenced piece they pulled out of the bag days before we opened - THANKS AGAIN AMY AND ALI WE OWE YOU!) are hosting an incredible exhibition which opens on 16th August.
Participating artists include Futura, Stash, Crash, Daze, Insa, Sheone and Fatsarazzi and literally tons of others. I cannot stress how excited we are about this one! See you there…
Wooooo is coming through.
Pageant just took delivery of Wooooo, a truly radical little publication from NYC comprising the funniest and most enjoyable interviews you'll ever see. Buy one for holiday reading, marvel at the delightful layout and then laugh a lot. In that order. (Yo thanks for the tee Jason and Chris! Cats and tacos finally united as one...)
Another yellow brick in the wall.
Come with us over the rainbow (refracted through an awesome prism combining indigo and violet into a single, vibrant purple stripe. Woah...)
This Friday (27 June) Team Pageant are staging the screeing/sonic experiment often referred to as the Dark Side of the Rainbow - based on the popular theory that there is synchronicity between Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album and the 1939 MGM classic Wizard of Oz.
Come down with an open mind, enjoy some (legal) post work refreshments and see for yourself if there really is a Dark Side!
From 7pm…
Wee Rogue represents Team Pageant
Hugely talented Fife/Glasgow songcraftsman the wee rogue was spotted in a tasty Pageant vintage number at a recent Wee Red Bar fundraiser for the fantastically monikered Dolphinstock festival. Yo Jamie - sorry for the head crop but my phone camera skills leave a lot to be desired. Plus the Red Stripe matches the red stripe, get me?
We're Here!
Hello world, Pageant is open for business! We are a mansized menswear boutique in sunny Edinburgh, Scotland, stocking such labels as Cheap Monday, Rockers NYC, CTRL, Isomorph, Fjallraven and many more, not to mention an ever-expanding assortment of awesome vintage gear. We'll have a webstore up and at 'em before you can say "I never leave the house", but until then, feel free to pop past the shop and say howdy!
First Knight
Thanks to everybody who came down a few weeks back to help us celebrate the shop launch. At one point it was about 8 bodies deep out front… I honestly never thought I'd see the day when someone blended Red Wine with Red Bull. Delicious AND renowned for its health-giving properties, much like Berocca. Anyway, we'll be hosting events throughout the summer (and if the weather stays this nice it could become an everyday occurrence), so sign up to our mailing list or myspace page for info and invites.
The stuff cabinet.
Never mind all those incredible vintage tees and must-have flannel shirts, this is where the good stuff lives. A combination of Victorian museum cabinet and boy's bedroom from about 1992. I think it might take on a life of its own soon…
We do like Mondays.
Primarily because we are closed then and so can get a lie in, but really we be talkin' bout Swedish denim supremos Cheap Monday. We are honoured to be the Edinburgh stockist for these fine Scandinavian fellas, as their jeans are pretty much perfect. Lovely checked shirts too, gotta have em for the hardcore fans!
Kate Moross is busier than you.
At the ripe old age of 22 creative wunderkind Kate Moross has worked with just about every groovy band from the nowadays era, including lovable Weegie mentalists Gay Against You (Have you seen them live? On-stage costume changes, serious!) She also just toured as part of HeartsRevolution. Plus she designs and draws for all kinds of non-music clients and yet still finds the time to run her own arty record label, Isomorph. Super limited green vinyl and lovely foily tees available at Pageant you know…
How we see it.
What nice neighbours we have here! We thought we'd share the view from our front window… How many other independent shops can you think of that have an actual castle across the street?
Team Pageant wants you.
We'd like to to teach the world to sing, or at least make some new special friends. Visit our MySpace Page to join the family, then we'll message ya with news on events, new products, gigs, parties, trips to the beach - that sort of thing.
