These jackets have been one of the most difficult garments to get right. We were determined to design a garment for 1920's productions but in historic terms they can be worn by working class characters from late C19th to present day.

So many modern jackets have too much structure, shoulder pads, fused canvases and wadding. We have stripped out any inessentials in order to create the perfect relaxed "Geography Teacher" look. So far anyone who has tried it on has looked very much at home!

They are made in England from British 100% cotton with all cotton lining. The sleeve lining is a traditional stripe.

Two comfortable front jetted pockets with flaps and one breast pocket.

There is also an inside breast pocket.

Matching trousers and waistcoats are available.

**REDUCED** 

We are not sure how this garment will react in the wash. It may shrink more than our standard drill so please ignore the care label sewn in the garment and use a cool wash setting initially.

*Please note all reduced or sale items are non refundable. See terms and conditions for more.

Mistakes happen! We have just had a small batch of our Mess jackets made up in the wrong fabric.

Normally we use a cotton drill but these have been made in a heavier cotton duck. Not ideal but we are selling them off at a much reduced price so bargains are to be had.

They are otherwise exactly the same as our drill version.

Here is the description of the cloth:
"A tight-woven, bleached fabric called cotton duck. The creation of bags and jackets is a great use for this material. Duck cloth or duck canvas are further names for cotton duck. The weave distinguishes Cotton Canvas from Cotton Duck. Canvas has a more uniform weave than Cotton Duck, which has 2 threads down the warp for every yarn along the weft.

Mess jackets are the perfect versatile garment for everyone, from real life waiters to every random servant character who needs to look smart.

They were traditionally worn in the tropics by Military or Naval men in the Officer's Mess, hence the name.

Made to authentic early C20th patterns in 100% cotton duck with linked buttons.

Following on from all the huge success of recent Regency Dramas we are delighted to have finally completed our own Regency Man's coat. These early C19th cutaways became the established shape from 1805 onwards. Our modern formal evening coats are the direct successor.

The shape of this coat is highly authentic being cut to according to original patterns. It is made in England from pure wool lined in cotton.

There are two working pockets on the outside and one inside.

These coats are a tight fit so if in doubt order a size up. They can button across the chest for a double breasted fit but generally these coats were worn open to display the waistcoat.

The waistcoat seen here is a printed sample which will be available shortly.

These white Lab Coats have been associated with medical professionals since the late C19th when it was first discovered that cleanliness in hospitals could save lives.

We have had these made in a traditional manner so they can be used in period productions as well as the present day.

They feature an adjustable half belt on the back and openings above pockets in order that trouser pockets can be accessed.

The buttons are particularly authenic being fixed with rings on the back. This was a feature which meant the buttons could be removed so the coats could be hygenically boiled and starched.

This heavyweight cotton twill jacket is now established as a perennial favourite with everyone in search of a robust garment, which can take you from the allotment to the pub (and probably back again)

We use an excellent heavyweight pure cotton fabric, which is washed twice, once before making up and then a second time after the jacket is finished. This ensures that the garment is softened and gently aged. They will continue to fade slightly with wear.

The inside pocket makes a useful addition for these utility garments. They are relatively short, which was the conventional shape for workwear chore jackets.

These make excellent Summer jackets for everyday wear, and are particularly popular with gardeners.

Please be aware that our jackets are a generous fit so if in doubt, order a size smaller than usual.

Colour will fade over time, however, this will take a long time.
