MAKE HASTE SLOWLY
2026 marks 140 years of Fred Aldous, and the start of a decade-long programme of collaboration running through to our 150th year.
We'll work with 150 people, institutions and businesses that we love, celebrating creativity and making great things together.
First up is Daren Newman; an illustrator, typographer and designer who has spent the best part of two decades creating things by hand in Manchester.
We asked Daren to brand the 140-150 programme. His logomark is designed to evolve year by year over the next decade, changing subtly with each new chapter.
For the first release, we've put Daren's mark on one of our favourite pieces: the Uskees 3001 Overshirt.
The Overshirt is the first piece, not the last. We'll be making more with Daren as the project develops.
Overshirts are available online and in our Manchester shop now, and to read more about the 140-150 programme and about Daren and his work, this can be found on our website.
