I’m delighted to say that our first hard copy of Permanent Style – containing the best of the site from the previous year – will be out at the end of next month.
The magazine-sized publication has been designed by London agency Egelnick & Webb, and gives particular emphasis to the wonderful photos Luke has taken over the past year. So often these shots are reduced in size and resolution on the site; this blows many of them up to full pages, enabling the reader to see all the detail of a denim cloth, a leather patina or a gas furnace.
Permanent Style 2015 is divided into five sections, representing the best of factory visits, style, bespoke projects, reader questions and ready-to-wear brands. Each contains a smattering of photos that never appeared on the website, along with explanatory captions.
It will be available to buy online, from outlets of the various brands, and from a handful of other shops around the world. If any other shops are interested in carrying copies, please email me at the usual address.
It’s going to be a busy year for publishing, with the Thames & Hudson book out later in the year, and our British brands work soon after. It feels particularly nice, however, to be able to offer this more personal, more tactile edition of Permanent Style.
I hope you like it.
Update on outlets and pre-orders next month
This is really cool. I love hard copies, especially now when people tend to prefer digital.
Great idea Simon, looks really nice. Pray tell how much will this fine publication cost?
It will be £29 in the UK – pricing in the US and elsewhere yet to be confirmed. Distribution in the UK and US though.
Congratulations Simon, this sounds exciting! I shall definitely get a copy, despite the risk of being slightly redundant, I still look forward to the general print project and great photography.

Well done Simon – like Matt says hard copies are the best so I cannot wait to get a copy. Nothing beats turning pages and studying images and of course, reading the print!

Another lovely book for my growing menswear libraryâĤ
It will sit well alongside my wife’s books on the fashion and design.
Actually I would prefer digital, is that going to be an option?
There won’t be an e-book, no Hilary

Hi Simon,
Your book will joint my collection.
Where can I pre-order your book ?
Where can I buy your book on line ?
Best,
Guy
Thanks Guy, details to come
Simon I would appreciate specifics as to where I might purchase the PS 2015 book. I’m in the states and just searched Amazon, no luck.
Thanks for the site, it adds a lot to my daily and weekly reading.
Regards,
Ray
I’ll publish details here next month as to where it can be bought…
Hi Simon,
I see the 2015 Books are about ready per your post. Any news on US availability?
Thanks,
Ray
Hi Ray,
The official launch is next week, in Milan. They will then be available to buy online, as well as at a few shops (only NY in the US). They are being distributed from the US and UK too, so you won’t pay shipping from the UK
Cheers
This is great Simon! Will it be available through your site? Any information on outlets for the U.S.?
There will be online sales and distribution in the US, yes, and a few stores
Congratulations! and thank you for doing all this
Nice idea Simon, this will be something to collect long term if published each year. As such if the print runs are not too large could I suggest numbering and signing them to make an even more collectable and special publishing item. I know that you have a lot of projects on but, when appropriate, a similar retrospective product, pre-dating this, perhaps `The Permanent Style Archive to 2014′ would also be great to see.
Thanks Stephen, good idea
Looking forward to publication!
Congrats on book, Simon! I’m looking forward to the books release, as well as your other publishing projects.
Hi Simon,
I know that you are releasing your book on the 29th of april, i would like to put my hand on a copy, can you tell me where and when i can order your book….
Kind regards,
Guy
I’ll publish details next week. It’ll be available to buy online via the Hanger Project, and in a bunch of shops worldwide
