Posted on March 16, 2012 in Menswear The good folk at S.E.H Kelly have done it again, this time producing a masterpiece of a jacket, The Tour Jacket MKII. It’s a stunning piece of outerwear for the spring and summer months that is made out of a dusty green-coloured 11-way corduroy, slightly lighter than most corduroys to cater for the warmer weather. This specific fabric was made at a mill in Lancashire, England which they co-operate with on a regular …
Posted on February 24, 2012 in Menswear Sometimes I find it hard to get inspired by clothing on a 24/7 basis, most of the stuff I come across either isn’t functional or it lacks substance in some form or other. I guess that’s why I look to different areas of design when trying to get inspired, such as photography, architecture, furniture, ceramics and things like that.

Posted on January 30, 2012 in Menswear I’m not inspired by vintage clothing all that often, I guess when it has context, such as product with lots of heritage and background, I am but when it’s quite random in it’s form I can’t relate too much. What’s interesting in my opinion is the various stories that gather as clothes gain age, knitwear being one particular sector where this sort of thing crops up on a regular basis.

Posted on January 26, 2012 in Menswear I may be a bit late on this one but luckily when you have timeless clothes to play with it’s pretty easy to discuss and make it relevant. Such as this collaboration between two lesser recognised brands, in my opinion, which took place late last year between Inverallan and Allevol.
