udeshi sky shopper bag

With the environmental impact of plastic bags finally being recognised, we thought it would be nice to have a reusable shopping bag that can also be carried over the shoulder - quite difficult to do that with a supermarket shopping bag. We wanted it big enough to carry what a gentleman might purchase during the course of a Saturday morning; visiting his favourite shops in town - picking up a nice bottle of wine, some cheese, a small box of cigars, the weekend newspapers... and possibly double as a bag to carry the laptop and documents to the office or cafe. Realistically, it can also be used as a diaper bag should that need arise. It features two internal pockets and a key holder - so one doesn't have to go fishing for one's keys.

The dead stock vintage English cavalry twill fabric (originally woven for riding breeches) has been pre washed in an industrial washing machine, to remove fabric shrinkage, so that when this bag is washed when it is soiled, it won't shrink or change shape. All the internal seams have been taped so there will be no fraying of cloth that could ultimately lead to a seam failing.

A pet project of ours and something we have had in the drawer for a few years, our version of what we think is the ideal quilted jacket.

Crafted from specially treated water repellent Brisbane Moss Cotton, this quilted coat can be used as a rain coat and won't smell of wet dog like wax jackets frequently do. As it is quilted, it provides warmth in a very light weight package. It features our signature curved barchetta pockets and a patch ticket pocket. The edges are trimmed in Brisbane Moss fine wale corduroy. It is shaped and waisted and cut from a jacket block as opposed to most quilted jackets that are flat and shapeless.

The fit is body conscious but not restrictive. The coat length makes it ideal for running errands and one doesn’t sit on the coat when seated, but is long enough to protect one’s bottom from the cold. This garment is a sized as a coat and is designed to be worn over a jacket, blazer or chunky knitwear. If you would like to wear it as just a jacket, please order a size down from your normal size.
