As it was Doctor Who's 60th Birthday yesterday, we had to reshare this photo from a few years of Jon Mott (thejonmott on Instagram) wearing our 18th Century double breasted waistcoat as part of his Doctor Who cosplay. Fit for many flights in the TARDIS!

As the weather gets colder, layers are great for storing body heat. Our navy wool 18th century style waistcoat is a warm and comfortable choice as it's a military weight wool, but smooth to the touch.

Our vintage moleskin shirts are a bargain for just £25 each. These are great for layering up on a cold day, soft and warm. The moleskin is like velvet to the touch and washes well. Please check the sizing as these are an old fashioned, narrower cut.

We have all sizes available for this long Irish linen robe in a big blue and white check. This is a definitely one for the linen lovers! The linen is comfortable to wear and it creases but not too badly as this is a good quality fabric.
