overcoat....
[A lovely overcoat, all ready to go]
You may remember earlier I told you of a rather special overcoat I was making. Several months back, Michael Alden, of the London Lounge and I got our heads together over lunch in Paris, and came up with the design.
The original was meant for me, but remember the saying, "The cobbler's children have no shoes"? Well, the tailor never gets his clothes, either. My coat is still in bits, under my cutting board.
The coat in the photo belongs to a super customer called Jason, who wanted a very similar coat, which he ordered just before my last US trip. He's had his fitting and I'm about to ship it to New York- I thought I'd let you see it before it goes.
Perhaps one day I'll get my own =)
