“I know I’m onto a good story when I’m talking to someone, and I find myself leaning in to catch everything that they’re saying,” says Patrick Radden Keefe, leaning in a bit for dramatic effect. “The fact that I can feel my own pulse quickening. That’s the best proxy I can come up with for when something grabs me.”
“I feel like at its best, a good story is when you want to bottle your own excitement and serve it up to the reader.”
We handcraft our shirts at our own dedicated factory using the finest cloths and finishings.
Each shirt is handcrafted in Chard, Somerset with single-needle stitching, floating interlinings and mother of pearl buttons. It’s a sound investment, because if they’re still in style after a century, chances are they’ll weather another.
Outerwear pieces inspired by militaria and workwear, our selection of offers enduring style and the utmost quality, all with the ethos of relaxed elegance.
Dinard looks a bit like Margate… if Margate was really nice (sorry Margate, we still love you). From the garden of our little house, shaded by apple trees, you can see all the way down to Plage de l’Écluse, a gentle curve of white(ish) sand and teal blue water, choppy at the start of spring, framed by gothic houses and Le Grand Hôtel Dinard, impressive and slightly battered by time and the salt air that whips off the English Channel.
Cut from a sturdy Italian cotton, this jacket has a short, slightly boxy shape which creates a masculine silhouette. With a generous, expressive collar, and two outer pockets, it makes subtle nods to workwear, as well as flight jackets from the early 20th century.
Few items of clothing are as enduringly stylish as the classic two-piece suit. Ours are made in Italy using the most meticulous construction methods, to create an elegantly soft silhouette.
The chore jacket has been the preserve of the hard-working for over two centuries, and while nowadays the most likely points to see any serious wear are the elbows from leaning on the bar, the chore jacket has endured and transformed from its utilitarian past as workwear to a staple icon of menswear.
Alongside our range of relaxed tailoring, prized Oxford shirts and exquisitely printed silk accessories, one of the first things we wanted to put our design principles to was the humble chore jacket.
