Enduring garments a speciality since 2009.

And just like that, happily ignorant of the time of year, the trucker came back. https://t.co/Svv2XH2WMj.

And then there's green. It too has been treated to a post-weaving baptism of washing and laundering and more washing and probably some kind-but-firm agitation and then some more washing in a southern corner of Ireland. https://t.co/F6rAkbQ8XE.

This popover is in linen from Ireland that's so soft, so lived-in looking, and in some ways so world-weary, it seems almost pre-worn (but please note is not). https://t.co/38AtiAlXO3.

The SB jacket, here, made with a tropical worsted cloth from West Yorkshire which is probably best described as wholegrain. https://t.co/LgAVpHZcFy.

What's funny — and not funny-ha-ha so much as funny-huh — about the t-shirt, and honestly at times frustrating, is that it isn't really a t-shirt at all. https://t.co/frSgGiggEe.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

It's the old family-run mill that makes it over in Ireland that does it and it makes the cloth feel like it's been laundered not twice but thrice.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

The popover is back again for the spring — this time in linen most notable maybe for having had the proverbial once-over in a specialised, ritualised, and possibly sanctified washing and tumbling process. https://t.co/F6rAkbQGNc.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

It's in moleskin this time, for one, and for two, it now has an almighty gusset at the underarms to facilitate those "arms to the heavens" moments so required by modern life these days. https://t.co/o8ti09J29v.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

The good old, trusty old, dear old work jacket is back — but it's not just the same old same old. https://t.co/6NUt6EDGC8.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

@Soma_x54 Thanks. It can be ordered directly there on the product page.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

New today is the Harrington jacket: https://t.co/Cj2S1fdj3B.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

It is both a short and casual jacket in weatherproof cotton from Scotland, and the latest entry in long-running and ever-expanding "find the hidden pocket" lore here at the workshop — a peculiar intersection of design, confusion, and low-key mysticism.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

The new safari jacket is like every safari jacket in what it has — but quite unlike every safari jacket in how it does it. https://t.co/ArYCJTN9PG.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

There's the inside-out Bedford cord, the reverse Magyar sleeve construction, the pockets spanning the entire width of the front and side body, and, in all honesty, more besides. https://t.co/D3WTWVwSZD.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

Topsy-turvy and no mistake, the new engineer jacket. https://t.co/RIch0eHlqP.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

@RIPcemonde No plans to make it again, sorry.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

It is sober by colour, impressive by weight, but way, way, way off the scales by texture. https://t.co/nefv85rj1f.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

@damnautocorekt No restocks, sorry, but plenty of other jackets upcoming in the new year — albeit not really woollen. The heavy and the woollen won't come back around until after next summer. In the meantime, all that is available is at https://t.co/uG8YHh7tEi.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

The British warm will tell you one thing and that's that it didn't get where it is today by hawking itself about on social media. https://t.co/vSt9ObazNA.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

Even now, the yarn is spun in much the same way, making every watch cap a eweniquely textured token of the old Donegal way.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

Legend goes that dye in that part of Ireland was once very hard to come by — squeezed in sparse amounts from gorse and lichen and so on — so rather than being able to colour your sheep-colour yarn any colour of the rainbow, you seasoned in some flavour with just a few flecks.

[S.E.H Kelly @sehkelly]

The watch cap this year is made with lambswool spun in County Donegal, and is therefore speckled liberally with nepps and burrs — i.e. the local terms for the pops of colour scattered throughout the yarn. https://t.co/QYRPCL1moU.
