New Brunswick International Gingham Fest in Fredericton

2nd June, 2014 (Fredericton) We sent our new photographer to Fredericton in New Brunswick to document the International Gingham Festival underway along the St Johns River Valley. As you can see by these pics taken by Lisa Sproull, Gingham suits the countryside-lemonade flavour of the province while at the same provides the more urbane dweller a reason to feel folksy.

More PICS FROM THE NBGF:

Sausage fest? No, wrong party dood. This is a Gingham Fest.

Meanwhile, back in Montreal, Gingham fans gave a blanket response to their brethren in Fredericton.

Sean Michaels Celebrates First Novel in Classic Tailored Gingham



90% of being cool is looking cool. But if you're a book, what counts is what's on the inside. Right?

16th May, 2014 (Montreal) Summer readers, music lovers and all-round culture vultures are in for a treat with the recent launch of Sean Michaels' latest novel "Us Conductors" published by Random House. Serious publicity surrounding this ground-breaking work has not only catapulted this Montreal writer to the top of the Most-Read list, it has put the author in the front running for top of the Best-Dressed list. Just take a look at this springtime green fine square Rooster Wringer Sean wore at a recent symposium--trying to lie low from sales of his book [please see here]  flying off the shelves. Not that we would judge a book by the cover, but at Got Gingham we most certainly judge authors by what they wear and as far as we are concerned this is the page-turner we've all been waiting for.

Chelsea FC in European Champions League Exit

It's terrible luck to lift one leg up during a corner kick: the reason why Chelsea lost.
Chelsea bounced out of the Champions League at the semi-final stage to a crafty team from Atletico Madrid. No amount of Gingham could prevent the Spanish League leaders from ruining Chelsea's dream of meeting Real Madrid in the Final.

Montreal Band "Heat" Kick Summer Off with GINGHAM Fan Club


If you can't stand the "Heat" get out of the Gingham. (photo: Lisa Sproull)


9th May, 2014 (Montreal) Just a quick warning that Summer approaches and we have Gingham coming out of our ears.

Watch this space for more to follow as we update this post over the next few weeks as photographer Lisa Sproull releases Gingham pics from her recent PHOTOGRAPHER IN RESIDENCE stint here at Got Gingham.

In the meantime here is a fan of the Montreal band "Heat" who took out the ceiling at TRH Bar on Blvd. St-Laurent last night.  She was not the only Gingham Getter in the house, but we thought to start with somebody who's got a firm grip on the proceeding.

Gregory Mansfield has more Gingham Wiggle Room



23rd February, 2014 (Montreal) Meet Gregory Mansfield. Standing outside the Wiggle Room [see here] on a Saturday night ready to perform in some burlesque show of sorts. Claiming that he purchased this Classic Indigo Blue Ripper from Village des Valeurs several years ago... we are certainly not asking Gregory to take it off. Nor the moustache... Nor the Argyle vest... Nor the tikitiboo Bow-tie...
Ah. the old days. Burlesque and Gingham have always made great play dates.

East 2 East Style has Got Gingham

"You had me at "...  "
Here is Julia from East 2 East Style. If you are into fashion then this site might be for you [see here]. And if you're a mad Gingham Getter then it's a pretty decent source for Gingham.




 

Justin plays the Gingham Card

 
News just in: Gingham Gets and glory.


Meet Justin. He's a musician. All musicians own some Gingham. If they don't they are not really musicians. See what we're talking about at the Single Malt's website [here].

LONDON CALLING SWEET MOTHER LOGIC IN GINGHAM


The cup is ALWAYS more than half full and logically sweet when you've Got Gingham.


3rd January, 2014 (Montreal) London is often where things end up. It is also where lots of things start. Take a look at our Got Gingham fan Steve Tredgett showing the most stylish way to drink coffee in the morning. He's a massively important mover-and-shaker in the City of London. We're honoured he would submit this rare groove London-Twill Special. Who knows how his day will end up? No reason to ponder--look how it starts. Tredge's Got Gingham!
