S.E.H Kelly

[charybdis]

The tweed is very beautiful and the collar looks great, but looking at the fit on the model, I feel like the jacket is a tad paunchy.

That's a cool look, nice trousers on that guy.

They just released that I was planning to buy but medium is sold out instantly - guess most of it went in-store or by some sort of pre-ordering. I already spent my money elsewhere so couldn't have afforded them anyway but it's a shame because they turned out even nicer looking than I expected - great shape on the legs.

I love the tab collar on those oxfords. The collar roll is kind of weak, but I feel like if it had a strong roll, it would be out of place. I'm starting to appreciate S.E.H Kelly the more I look at the designs and the quality of the materials. Or maybe its just because of the exclusivity, but that's not a bad thing.

Got my in the post today - it's very nice but a quick try-on reveals that the sleeves are a bit too short. I'll probably keep it anyway (they're sold out so no exchanging for a medium) and can just roll the sleeves or layer or whatever. Fabric is nice but I've not had a good look yet. Will post photos later.

Very interesting recent release:













Details on this thing are crazy: beautifully hidden throat latch, concealed channels for the belt (see last image), one-piece sleeves, side-entry pockets, higher-than-usual collar stand, deeper back yoke than front, etc.

SEH Kelly have really good mannequin synergy

[starfox64]

where are their mannequins made?

[Syeknom]

I'll be sure to ask when I visit the workshop!

The last UK mannequin maker, deep in rural Dorset.

Shirt:





Sleeves and body are definitely a bit too short but I think I'll keep it. The next size up (sold out anyway) only has an extra half inch on the sleeves and is no longer in the body. Detachable collar is dead cool and it'll be really fun to layer with. Buttons are very pleasing.

Looks very nice.

They shouldn't have put that pocket on though

Went to the workshop yesterday and took shelter from a pisser of a storm. Had a lovely chat with Paul for an hour or two and tried on a bunch of stuff - that trenchcoat is something else, amazingly weighty cotton (that will apparently be used for trousers next season). Really dinky little workshop with a duplex design - loads of patterns hanging from the ceiling and jars of buttons and stuff to look through.

For those wondering the mannequin comes from a london-based company called . Apparently Paul has to spend a lot of time before shoots wrapping the mannequin's arms in thick hospital tape and stuffing socks to pad out the shoulders cause the poor doll's a bit weedy in those areas.

Did you mention this thread though?

[Syeknom]

I did but forgot to show him or give him the address sorry :(

- hood is very detachable indeed

Add another foot on the length and I'd robocop it. As it stands tho... looks a bit too M&S for my needs. (M&S rules though so don't mess)

[Syeknom]

I don't actually have the power to add a foot to it :(

Agree though. I'm sure they'll put out some long-coat ventile business later in the year.

[pirxthepilot]

these guys' knits are the best i've ever handled: softer, thicker and more striking than,say, my SNS Herning stark. I've also chatted to Paul, very friendly and has huge enthusiasm for what he does. strongly recommend a visit to anyone who can make it.
