Measure your favourite garments, don't measure your body.
We have created many thousands of custom made pieces for our clients over the past few decades. Our experience has told us that the best way for us to get this right the first time is to take your garment measurements.
The measurements below refer to your jacket. Measure your favourite jacket and compare to find your best size. Alternatively, order custom made and send us your favourite jacket's measurements, we will make you a personalised fitted piece.
Please see here for a measurement guide.

BLUE SHALE – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Layered. Refined. Naturally Distinctive.
Formed over millennia of pressure and transformation, shale is a rock of quiet complexity—layered, structured, and rich in natural beauty. The Blue Shale Raw Silk Jacket mirrors this intricate composition, weaving sporadically spaced vertical silk lines into a refined fabric that echoes the parallel striations of sedimentary rock.
Much like shale itself, this jacket is defined by subtle depth—an interplay of texture and tone that evolves with the light and movement of the wearer. Elegant yet bold, structured yet fluid, this piece is for those who appreciate nuanced design and timeless sophistication.
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this is a jacket as rare as the layers of earth that inspired it.
Handwoven raw silk – textured, structured, and endlessly refined.
Inspired by the natural layering of shale – woven with precision and depth.
Vertical silk detailing – creating a striking yet understated aesthetic.
Like shale shaped by time, the BLUE SHALE jacket is a statement of natural elegance, quiet strength, and distinguished style. Extremely limited—secure yours before it settles into history.
