The chase shirt has arrived!

As the days fly away and the opening of the popup shop looms ever nearer, the chase shirt comes screaming in... just in time.

(It's reversible!)

Video of Shu Making

Acapmedia have finished editing film which Alex Robertson and I took in Chitral, N.W. Pakistan. It shows the process of shu making. It will make you want to go to Chitral, which you should!

 Silk Crepe de Chine Scarf

I have just got back a silk crepe de chine scarf from the printers. It is super-thin and a bit like raw silk to the touch. Very classy.

The Lady's Jacket

Yesterday a friend very kindly modeled the lady's jacket for me. See the results below!

The white shu is not bleached, just the natural colour of the wool. The collar is of soft Donegal tweed and the buttons are lined in the same. The collar buttons are brown horn and the lining is a heavy weight synthetic satin. The cut loosely follows that of a hacking jacket.

The Double Whammy

This handsome man is my dad. He is sporting the jacket over the waistcoat. It feels surprisingly comfortable wearing both, the jacket's cut is loose enough for the wearer not to feel constricted, even when the jacket is done up. It is of course, very warm... especially in Summer.
