Fabric
On 400gsm, and the weight of a good sweatshirt
Why we settled on a heavy brushed cotton, what it costs in drape, and the forty washes it takes before a lot is allowed near a cutting table.
Journal
The Journal
Notes from the workroom — on cloth, on process, on the places our garments are made. Written slowly, published rarely.
Process & Place
Process
Rarely, and on purpose — the discipline of saying no
Most of what we sketch never gets sewn. A short account of the pieces we cut from the first collection, and why the range is stronger for what it leaves out.
Places
A morning at the mill
Where our cloth is knitted and dyed within sight of the river. On the people at the machines, and what it means to keep the whole chain in one valley.
Notes
Notes
How to let down a hem, and why we leave the cloth
A short guide to a repair anyone can make at home.
Fabric
Garment dye, and the mineral colours we keep
On dyeing finished pieces, and a palette drawn from stone.
Process
Nine patterns for one tee
Every revision that moved the shoulder, and the four millimetres that ended it.
More is being written.
The journal is new. Leave an address and we will send a note when the first pieces are ready to read.
