A few updates

Firstly, we received one of our most anticipated arrivals of the year in the form of two beautiful jackets from SEH. Kelly [whom we featured in a recent interview]. There are brands who produce beautiful products, and then brands whose product reflect their entire approach and SEH. Kelly definitely fall into the latter. Its extremely refreshing to find two people who are fully engaged with their relationships with users and fellow suppliers and who have a brand which encompasses a great story (one of visceral, ergonomic design and collaborative effort with existing industries) that you really believe in. We're extremely excited to be working with them, and I look forward to our relationship with them growing closer. The second part of the interview is coming very soon.

This is only the first part of our delivery for this season, but it comes in the form of two jackets. The first, featured here is a Wool Cashmere Charcoal Work Jacket. It is produced from a soft but robust wool-cashmere blend that is constructed in the English Cotswolds before being finished with English tortoiseshell horn buttons. The proportions are just exquisite, and its construction is beautifully detailed. £310



The second piece is a French Navy Work Jacket constructed from a compact cotton twill weave produced by a family run mill in Lancashire, England which really lends itself to a durable and robust quality. Again, the detail is incredible and its finished with black Coroza buttons. £230



These pieces will be online by the end of the week, but if you're interested in either, please call the store on (0114) 2723482 for details. We are very limited on stock.

We also received an email yesterday notifying us that our Common Projects delivery is on its way. We are going to be stocking the Desert Boot again in two colourways, now an iconic part of any CP collection, as well as the Achilles in both low and mid cut. We believe that the superior material and attention to detail given to these classic silhouettes are what make Common Projects so exciting, so we are keeping it simple.

Finally, another quick mention of one of our favourite brands at the moment, still producing beautiful hand-made products down in sunny Florida. We are down to our last few MAKR pieces, and can't wait to get some of the new products they've been working hard on. Another brand who are producing beautiful products using artisan crafts now lost in an era of mass production.
