A Jacket Finished... at last!

This is about to go off to the factory in Pakistan, so I really hope that I have my first complete product! All my models are off building a parallel universe or something like that in Glastonbury, so I am afraid that you have to see me wearing the jacket. I thought that I might call it "Hill Jacket", does that sound pants?

Screen Captures for the website

My friend David Midgely is starting work on the Hindu Kush website. Here are some screen captures of how it will look. Each image represents a different window and the last image is of the navbar. I think I might also have some GIFFs on the home page- I made one from film taken on my last trip to Pakistan, to see it click here.

Waistcoat Nearly Finished

I have nearly finished tweaking a waistcoat for the first collection. The lining is the 'exploded' Khyber Pass design I posted about earlier, the buttons are horn and the cut is close to the traditional Pakistani 'waskit'. Here it is modeled by the devastatingly handsome Alex Robertson during our trip to the Hindu Kush last month. He is flanked by a jeep driver of immense skill and Zar Wali Shah our guard, who was a very nice guy and also a great dancer...

A New Leopard Chasing a Markhor

The leopard chasing a markhor design has been weighing on my mind.... I have re worked it, which, depending on taste has either made the scene much clearer, or made the whole thing even naffer. I also think I will present it as a picture sewn onto the lining with a caption, as below.
