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.

BALLARAT GOLD – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
🏆 Gold Rush Glory. Woven in Defiance. 🏆
Gold isn’t just a metal in Australia—it’s part of our history, our rebellion, and our identity. Nowhere is that more true than Ballarat, the heart of the 1850s Gold Rush and the site of the Eureka Stockade, where defiant miners rose against colonial authority and forged the path to Australian democracy.
The Ballarat Gold Raw Silk Jacket pays tribute to this pioneering spirit with a luxurious bouclé weave rich in earthy tones, flecks of gold, and soft lavender hues, reflecting the landscapes where fortunes were made and revolutions were sparked. Much like the prospectors panning for gold in Ballarat’s rivers, this jacket shimmers with depth and character, catching the light in every movement.
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is a rare find—crafted for those who appreciate history, resilience, and striking individuality.
✔ Handwoven raw silk – textured, layered, and full of depth.
✔ Bouclé weave with gold, lavender & earth tones – a rich tribute to Australia’s Gold Rush.
✔ Inspired by the spirit of rebellion – bold, defiant, and impossible to ignore.
Like the miners who changed history, those who wear BALLARAT GOLD know that fortune favours the bold. Extremely limited—secure yours before it’s history.
