About

As Lineage of Influence enters its fifth year of existence I thought it was probably about time I updated the ‘about’ section of the site to reflect where the blog and myself are now at.

I’m still a thirtysomething Northern monkey, live in London, think way too much about clothes and have a full-time job in advertising, but I’m also now a husband and a father too. I continue to write the blog purely as a hobby (which is why it can be a bit sporadic at times because life and work come first), but try to update it as often as possible, usually once a day if time allows.

The premise of the site is pretty simple, I only ever feature things I like, or find interesting and the blog is completely independent – I have no need or interest in making money from blogging and as such don’t allow any advertising on the site, nor do I partake in affiliate schemes or allow sponsored posts. This way the blog is beholden to nobody except me and my tastes and I don’t have to feature things I don’t like.

Hopefully you like what you see on the site and will continue to come back to it in the future. For those who have read it since the beginning, a huge thank you for your continued support.

Rob

    Hi mate,
    Just stumbled across you whilst searching for Hiut jeans, I am actually going to Pavillion in the morning to bag me a pair of the selvedge Hacka ones!!
    Looking at your list of stores, you gotta add Rapha to that surely!
    Nice blog though, I will be back.
    Simon.

      Good luck with the jeans Simon. I love mine and have been wearing them loads, great quality and fit. Good point about Rapha too, I’ll get them added!
