i love howies. whenever a new catalogue arrives it's a spiritual experience. their ethos/outlook on life and business is inspirational with their passion for treading lightly on the earth. yes their clothes are expensive but their sales are pretty regular. this summer's catalogue is no exception themed on hope. all the reflection pieces are in the think section of their web site. one of my favourites was a piece about business suits by jon matthews...

While we don't condone shoplifting, terrorising old ladies or generally making other people's lives a misery, the tabloids seem to be picking on the wrong people. Casual research suggests serious fraud, insider trading or acts of corporate manslaughter are unlikely to be carried out by people wearing hooded sweatshirts. Photographs of senior executives of British manufacturers of land mines, anti-personnel grenades and cluster bombs have shown no evidence of hoodie-wearers. Businessmen offering large amounts of cash in return for peerages, and the politicians who accept the cash, tend towards less casual items of clothing. When the decision was made to invade Iraq, no-one wore a hoodie. And the men who think Guantanamo Bay is still a good idea do not wear hoods themselves, though they have been known to offer them to guests. Sure, there's the odd villain who wants to conceal his face. But there's bigger villains around who have no such shame.

there's a great bunch of links to follow here and some more here. tell us if you find any gems in there...
