This coat is from a limited collection of wearable pieces, with surface decoration inspired by research of the history of the Scottish textile industry and exploring parallels with the textiles industry of today. Fuelled by my ethos of the need for sustainability, it is only with traceability and transparency that we are able to make an informed decision of what we wear on our bodies, just as we do for the food we eat.
Garment sizing – compare it to a coat you have to get a better idea of fit… I am a size 12, 5foot7inches tall.
Top sleeve neck to cuff 74cm, c/b length 109cm, flat measure across front chest 56cm (slightly smaller girth than the black Jute options)
