The intention then was to supply accurate replicas of mens period shirts and collars for use in plays and costume dramas.Since then we have expanded our range to provide hats, socks, trousers, waistcoats, underwear and a huge variety of general accessories.

Congratulations to Jak Malone on winning the Olivier for best supporting actor on Operation Mincemeat. Nice shirt! (Sh190R)

27/03/2024

When we embark on producing a new garment there are often as not endless samples and prototypes which get rejected along the way. Our Regency coats (JA1815) have now proved to be very successful but these were the ones that didn’t make the grade.

We are having a clear out of our sample rail so these are quite a bargain but definitely not our usual standard!

This might look like a caption competition but it is actually our Gabriel trying on a new jacket sample, the 1920 moleskin. We are pleased to be very close to announcing their arrival so this is just a quick preview. They will be available in corduroy later in the year. We will let you know! jacket

“Oh Cillian. How much do we love thee, let us count the ways”
First , Peaky Blinders. The collarless shirt, accompanied by a single stud and of course, the eponymous cap.
Then once you’d become slightly more respectable, the Arundel collar (curved ends) or sometimes Albany with sharp points as the family firm moved its sights towards London
After that the Burlington as you went up in the world
And for evening the extra high wing
Now that you’ve left Birmingham for Hollywood it’s the 1950’s trousers and braces
Finally your award winning bow tie with high waisted evening trousers.
Thank you and many congratulations from all of us here at . collar
