S.E.H Kelly

Love the styling, especially the lapels.

Thanks!

The factory calls the stitching that holds together the collar and lapel "duck stitch" (which you can see in some of the close-up photographs above) because of the ... well, they say it is because it is how duck's feet cross over each other when they waddle. I'm not so sure. I do take etymology quite seriously, though, so I do have a habit of sucking the fun out of these conversations!

@sehkelly (Paul), is the brown available? It is shown on the Hadal Blue page, but further down.

Yessir -- it is, but not in XS, sorry to say.

I mean the darker brown version not the natural. I can't find it on the website. Do I have brown blindness?

No, no — I think *I* have brown blindness.

What brown version!?

Please scroll down on this page until you see "AS WORN". There are 4 photos of "the gentleman" wearing a dark brown version of the SB. I am referring to that version.

That's not brown!

That's SHEEP.

Ah. I should have known (SHEEP vs brown). My loss.

Paul, I was going to ask via email, but thought that others might benefit from my question.

The SB jacket in XL for a 44 chest has a chest measurement of 23" p-p. The corresponding p-p in the pyjama top is L for a 42 chest. I would expect the SB jacket to be cut looser to account for an undershirt and a dress shirt underneath.

Could you explain the differences in sizing of these two pieces. Also, 18" seems narrow for the shoulders on the SB size XL. I typically see 19" shoulders for a 44 chest size.

Thanks!

Hi there. Thanks for asking the question (and making them public — much better!)

The pyjama has an easy and relaxed fit, without much shape in the body. It's devised as a louche, comfortable style. The SB jacket, in comparison, has more shape in the body and is intended to cast a slimmer profile.

I've never found the SB jacket particularly slim in the shoulder, and we haven't changed the block for quite a few years. Everyone's mileage will vary, of course, especially with a tailored style where the expectation of a precise fit is higher.

Here anyway are some recent shots of the current iteration, which is a size M (a 40) on a man who has a chest of 38. Yes, I know — there's a discrepancy there, much to my chagrin, but the larger size is all I had to hand at the time. This look is arguably too large for a smart, tailored look, but seems to work (a) in linen, and (b) with just a t-shirt underneath.

A couple more, hot off the press.

I know this sz 40 is to your chagrin but I really like the relaxed look it gives!

Thanks!

I do have a hyperactive chagrin.

 

[scottcw]

I have a double chagrin, but it's not hyperactive.
