Another item which originated as kit for our team. An ancient French work jacket in final disintegration which became the basic pattern. A Tin cloth, again, from British Millerain.
Because detail is everything to some people.
The buttons are by Courtney & Co. One of the very few remaining English manufacturers of buttons. A critical button needs an appropriate button hole.
The Reece 101 is an early 20th century machine which remains the finest facilitator of button holes. A maker in Eastbourne still uses these machines to execute the perfect button hole.
Indestructible outerwear that is cut sufficiently to layer over a heavy shirt or sweatshirt and base layer. But not excessively loose to become a hindrance whilst working (Carpentry has its dangers) Enough pockets to hold the necessary but not to become a walking rubbish tip.
A jacket to get through a demanding days work.
And then.
A piece of clothing that can be brushed off at the end of the task and be suitable to meet for an informal dinner or a drink with a friend. Or a date.
It’s your jacket, it’s your business.
Why FERGUS?
Long story.
