Any tips for putting the balaclava on so a) a) you're sure the vent lines up properly and doesn't squinch (a word I made up) one eye or the other; and b) that it covers your hair properly without messing it up? I tried mine out in the wild for the first time, and, while it was very successful at keeping me warm (all while my friends were complaining about how cold it was), it really made a mess of my hair; I went from having a side part to having a middle part - I'm not a skateboarder, so I don't think I can pull off that look.

As a balding shaved head, I am incredibly curious as to how this will go

I don't think it's possible for it not to mess up your hair. The knit is going to come in contact with hair and it is snug fit, it is not a loose fitting balaclava that just can hover over your head and minimally mess it up.

It will certainly loosen and soften with time, especially around the front, but it's always going to be a snug fit on the head, that one.

I mean, I expected some mussiness, but I guess I was hoping there was a secret technique to find to prevent a surprise redrawing of boundaries every time I took the thing off. ah well. Part of it is definitely the fault of my hair, which is fine and straight and has absolutely no character of its own.

And speaking of hair-rufflers, here's a couple of new photographs of the duffle coat in Herdwick tweed being worn in public in broad daylight.

Ugh that coat looks so GOOD
I told everyone that reached out to me about the duffle herdwick a few months back when they asked what coats I like and such from the line up. This fabric lived in my head ever since I saw it on the trench last year. Texture is insane, and it is just soooo unique. It is something you would probably seeing no one has in the wild. I think the brown is ruggish and fit workwear/country style really well, while the silver has a more modern urban look to it.

And Paul's camera made me really want to buy both after seeing the pictures lol. Great job on this one!

That is really heartening to hear. Thank you.

The lengths we went to for the cloth, for the toggles, and (to a lesser extent) the rope means that no one would really want to follow in our footsteps, to be honest! — so hopefully you won't see many other coats quite like it.
