Hats are more in style than they have been since the 1950s. But that doesn’t mean that you can find an awesome looking hat at the mall shop. As any Hollywood costume designer knows, a hat is the ultimate way of expressing character. A sharp clean hat makes for an uptight impression. Sculpt the hat […]

Waistcoats (or "vests" in good American English) haven't been this in style for decades. Perhaps the recession made us all a bit more serious, and many of the guys out there who hoped to be boys forever decided to grow up. Or perhaps we all just decided to think a bit more about history and a bit less about what was new, when future prospects seemed to dim.

The Victorian era was an age of excitement, experimentation, science, and progress. Everything seemed possible and imminent.   The material world was like a door about to be unlocked.  The mind was a mystery that science could pry into.

A leather jacket is always an investment. You want skins that will wear beautifully for years, aging, weathering, and gaining in character. This means using full grain whole skins as a starting point. Many cheaper jackets are made from split and bonded leathers or leather with the grain stamped onto it.

We make all sorts of suits. Wedding suits, business suits, sportswear. A windowpane is a simple plaid pattern that is less sporty than many plaids. Some plaids only work as a sports jacket or stand alone piece.  Make a whole suit from the plaid and it quickly becomes too much. But many windowpanes look incredible […]
