We have started to distribute Ben's clothes, starting with his shoes and socks!! Shoris and Lyla have taken most of the socks and the odd pair of trainers (there are 3 pairs of socks and three pairs of trainers left - size 9) and there is also a pair of brown Italian leather Russell and Bromley shoes, and brown Berghaus walking boots - also 9's.
Please let me know if you are interested in anything: I will keep everything until after Wake 5 (13th June 2026) and then I plan to take the remaining clothes to the St Just Age Concern charity shop - there is a good chance we will see Ben's clothes being worn locally!!
The t-shirts and tops are here [update - the manana/Fruit of the Loom t-shirt is taken]:
And here are some hats etc, a Next wool suit (40S 34R) and some trousers and shorts:
(...also a navy Burton suit and two pairs of black work trousers.)
The coats and hoodies are a bit more difficult: no doubt many will remember the Smoking Skills hoodies (see this BenWeb post): there is a well worn one, and a relatively new one. I think I will keep the worn one as a piece of Ben's art (it occurs to me that some of the t-shirts come into that category) but the newish Smoking Skills hoodie is available to the first bidder!
Regarding the coats, Ben's signature look involved the green SantaCruz Jeff Kendall coat, and the blue and red Berghaus anarak...we have both. There are also a navy North Face waterproof, a
black Fat Moose double pu coated coat, and a taupe Westbeach coat. Again, please let me know of you would like any of these.
