Glad tidings of great joy! We have pyjamas! The old traditional Somax pyjamas makers ceased production this year so we set about creating our own. This takes time, starting with sourcing original colourway as inspiration, having it woven, creating patterns, sampling , rejecting, sampling again, finding a cord supplier, manufacturing then finally they all arrive! It only took 8 months to get here but we think it’s well worth it. Just in time to hunker down in the teeth of Storm Stormy or whatever’s about to hit us. pyjamas nightwear # pyjamas.

We don’t usually promote our association with productions in such a blatant way but we just had to make an exception for this snake belt. Here it is worn by the fabulous new Dr Who, Ncutie Gatwa. This colourway was discontinued so we decided to have it re-woven for all the Dr Who fans who want to own a very affordable item of memorabilia . Now available exclusively from us at Darcy Clothing.

Here at Darcy Clothing we take great care in sourcing original garments to copy for our authentic replicas. This is our latest offering, the Gumby hat! Lovingly recreated from a stash of giant handkerchiefs we found at the back of a stockroom shelf. Can also be used for blowing noses. Please be aware that this post was unintelligible to our younger staff.

We had a great photoshoot with the lovely yesterday. It was all going very seriously until he spotted the prop dog!
We are thrilled to have finally completed our long awaited lined cord and moleskin jackets. Made in England from our latest pattern. We don’t have the full range just yet but these are just the start of what we know will be a very popular suit.

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

We usually only make our fishtail back trousers in variations of cotton but as a one off we’ve used this fabulous soft wool herringbone cloth. There are not many in stock as this is just an experiment so buy now to keep the chilly March winds at bay.
