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.
Other fabrics will follow!

As a variation on our normal cotton herringbone stock we are very pleased to be able to offer a limited line of 100% wool trousers. This is a beautiful soft, supple weave and not at all itchy.
These traditional trousers are cut using authentic patterns and are made from a heavyweight cotton herringbone which has a lightly brushed finish. They are finished with a strap and buckle at the back along with braces buttons. The fly is fully buttoned and there are deep side pockets.
They are best worn with our button braces as they should sit higher on the body than the modern position which is lower towards the hips.
The fit is generous so if in doubt buy a size smaller. As a guide, we recommend taking a measurement around your navel (high waist). Take up to 4in off this measurement and buy accordingly. With the smaller sizes (28in-34in) we advise reducing by only 2in.
Made in England
Measurements: Inside leg measurements unfinished at 37in to allow for turn-ups.

At last, by popular demand we have finally produced a waistcoat to match our blue drill workwear.
These come in the Rever Collar style only and are made to the same pattern as our other waistcoats. They are finished with black self stripe cotton back, working jigger for adjustment and four working pockets.
Features additional vertical buttonhole for use with traditional watch chains.
The fitting is relatively snug as waistcoats at this period were not worn loose. These waistcoats are shorter than many fashion items as they are designed to be worn with our high waisted trousers.

Sometimes we come across original ties which are completely remarkable and this is one of those gems. There is clearly a bit of Chrysler Building influence in the design but we can't be certain of the date so Art Deco is a loose term .
Whatever the origin of this piece, we are delighted to have been able to replicate it in woven silk.

We are delighted to be able to stock Victorian style ladies boots. These are a staple requirement for any late C19th to early C20th productions, and always difficult to find without modern embellishments.
This is the same boot as the SP1910, but here we have had them made with a side zip. Not very authentic but sometimes just essential for stage use.
The 2in high heel has been specially carved to a proper period shape, usually known as a Louis heel. Made in fine black leather.
These boots are made on a modern last and have memory foam insoles, so are fantastically comfortable. The soles are non slip. All leather uppers.
Available in European sizes 36 - 42.

To address these familiar anxieties we have comissioned ladies period shoes specially from Portugal. They are the result of much debate and endless rounds of sampling but finally we are delighted to have them in stock.

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.
Sizes 34in chest to 48in
Standard fit for an average height man between 5'9 to 6'.
Please be aware that these are a very close fit.

We are delighted to be able to offer these men's C18th shoes in stone coloured leather which can dye.
They are the classic shape of the era with tongue and buckle which can be worn in any production from around 1700 to 1820. The buckles can be changed but not easily, as we couldn't devise a simple way of allowing for this. There is however elastic under the buckle, which allows for ease over the instep.
These are leather shoes with leather covered heels. The footbed or insole is not glued down, so it can be easily removed for cleaning.
Non slip soles.
Made in Europe.

These brown bowler hats are a great quality as they are hard finished unlike some of our softer stage quality hats. They are lined in scarlet and bound in durable petersham.

The linen is a really good heavy weight, as nothing is worse than flimsy, see through fabric.
The jacket can either be worn on its own or to complete the suit.
Made in England from very high quality Ivory Herringbone Linen and fully lined in 100% cotton.
Please be aware that our jackets are a generous fit so if in doubt, order a size smaller than usual.
