The coat collection recalls the period of fine tailoring of the 1930s and 1940s before mass-production came to dominate clothing choice. The garments are constructed using a more traditional approach to tailoring and are made in the UK. This not only affects the look and feel of the coat but also the longevity of the coat.
The tweeds are woven by the Isle of Mull Weavers in the Hebridean Isles of Scotland at Ardalanish Organic Farm.
