The Donegalistan
I have been silent for some time. Please accept my apologies.
I have been dealing with things like bank loans and logistics, which do not a scintillating blog post make.
Briefly though, Looptex, the factory I am working with in Lahore, are about to start production, so at last I will have some stock! Their workmanship is looking excellent.
Back in Londonabad I have started work on a new jacket, The Donegalistan. It is quilted and combines super-soft Donegal tweed with pale shu. I think the two together work really well. It's going to be the best yet.
A sample jacket should be ready early next month and I will post it here as soon as I have it in my hands. But in the meantime, to tickle your interest, here is the original drawing and a photo showing a section of Donegal tweed piping against shu. The dark areas in the drawing - the inside of the collar and piping on the collar edge, down the front edges of the jacket and at the cuff - indicate Donegal tweed. The quilted lining is a sandy coloured heavy-weight twill.
