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.

LIGHT SHALE – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
🪨 Layered by Nature. Refined by Design. 🪨
Formed over millennia, shale is a testament to the quiet power of time—where fine-grained clay, quartz, and calcite compress into layered sedimentary rock, creating an intricate, natural structure. Much like its geological namesake, the Light Shale Raw Silk Jacket embodies refined strength and subtle complexity.
Crafted in a classic herringbone weave, this jacket echoes the parallel lines and structured layering of shale formations, creating a textured, elegant statement piece. The result is a distinguished yet versatile jacket, balancing depth, sophistication, and timeless appeal.
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare and naturally inspired as the rock that inspired it—designed for those who appreciate quiet confidence and effortless style.
✔ Handwoven raw silk – rich, textured, and full of dimension.
✔ Herringbone weave reflecting shale’s natural layers – subtle, structured elegance.
✔ Timeless and versatile – an understated classic for any wardrobe.
Like shale formed under the forces of time, the Light Shale Jacket is a masterpiece of patience, craftsmanship, and refined resilience. Extremely limited—secure yours before it settles into history.
