Popped into Trunk Clothiers yesterday whilst in London.
Fantastic little shop with a large stock - they are opening up an accessory store next door in a couple of weeks time.
Had a great chat to the very pleasant, helpful and incredibly knowledgable staff who couldn't do enough for me. Offered to take photos of any items etc.
Their heros are Japanese brands - Beams plus, Needles etc so Cabourn fits in really well with their offering and tastes.
It was very busy
Anyway had fun trying on lots of Cabourn pieces and checking fit and quality
Really bowled over by the cricket jacket in the cotton pique material - really tight fitting with plenty of stretch
Very minimalist and fabulous material.
The Japanese jersey Mallorys were again unstructured with a bit of stretch but weren't as figure hugging - shorter boxier look because of the wider shoulders and body
Straight off the hanger, the shoulders didn't sit right but with some wear and stretch these would look great - manufacturing quality was exemplary for both.
My advice on the Cricket jackets is - if you fall in-between sizes - size up
On the jersey Mallorys if in-between sizes - size down
