If you want to see the Trench from S.E.H. Kelly in a video.


It is in French, but you get to see different look with it !


That's great.

The closest we I'll ever get to dressing Alain Delon / featuring in a remake of Le Samourai.

My experience is that the sleeves overall on my S.E.H. Kelly pieces (work jacket and peacoat) are on the shorter side compared to other makers. But I do agree that the mannequin has weird proportions with very sloping shoulder. It can be my square shoulders that pull in the sleeves a bit?

He actually has NO shoulders.

You try running a fashion enterprise on such meagre resources!

Ah, a raglan mannequin!

Now Paul, you must be sick of answering similar questions (you've most likely already answered this one) by now but it would really help to know.
What releases do you have planned from now and until the end of next month?

Do you want the man to burn out?

They say that great art comes from great suffering, perhaps my lot in life is to provide that suffering.

I'm glad you asked ...

The trench, tielocken, and Chesterfield are all nearing completion. Two colours of each. I am pleased in particular with the tielocken: we have made in bigger, and revised the way in which the belt works, hopefully to make it more intuitive.

There's also the SB3 (heavy hopsack woollen) and cooks jacket (reversible, double-breasted, with one side a worsted canvas and the other moleskin).

Trousers very much galore, in cottons and woollens and heavy worsteds.

And then more knitwear -- cashmere-cotton polo shirt and cardigan and scarf; and geelong lambswool watch cap, another colour of v-neck, and the apple of my eye, the balaclava.

That might be it.

But that's quite a lot!

Thank you, Paul. That is quite a lot, maybe even too much. You've added a layer of difficulty in my decision-making process I didn't have previously...

Now I feel like you are just tempting me with silly decisions.

Processing completed. If not too much trouble I'd like to please be notified when the Chesterfields, watch caps and scarves are available.

I don't think I could stand to look at myself in the mirror unless I gave everyone else a fair shot at the balaclava first.

You know what could help alleviate the shame of having to look in the mirror, right? Your new balaclava. Complete anonymity.

Anyway, finally had a chance to pick up my new cedar cord shirt and navy cord trousers from the post office today. They're impeccable. This is just to say that I'm currently wearing more cord than any one person should ever wear. And it feels great. Thanks again, Paul!

That's great to hear. Cheers all round.

I am firmly of the belief that one or two units of corduroy on the person is the "sweet spot". A deviation of one unit either way from this "sweet spot" is at best a mistake.
