Kamali Waistcoat | Grey Wool
£125.00
A V-neck waistcoat, lined, with a button front and front pockets. This waistcoat is unique, made from offcuts of fabric from another project. This is a small, and there are no other sizes available. It is in wool, a warm, natural fibre that insulates well and resists creasing.
Kamali has been our tailor for years, working out of his workshop in Bow. Every project leaves offcuts, and rather than throw them away, he kept them. Ten years’ worth, as it turned out. One day he turned them all into waistcoats: about a hundred of them, in whatever fabric happened to be left over. Some good tweeds, some odd prints from old dress fabric. Each one exists once. When it’s gone, that fabric is gone with it.
Wool is a natural insulator, warm without being heavy, and naturally resists odour and creasing better than most fabrics. It’s more delicate than cotton or linen, so it needs gentler handling.

Gardener Trousers | Dark Heavy Denim
Cotton, Mens Trousers, Roomi Apparel, Trousers
A loose, wide-leg trouser with a high, pleated waist. The front pleats double as belt loops, a small detail that took a lot of fitting to get right. Two side pockets and one back pocket. Made in heavy-weight denim, a durable and breathable cotton twill, woven tightly and densely for extra strength and structure, that's easy to care for and softens with wear.Redwan wanted one trouser the shop could remake over and over: comfortable, modest, roomy enough to move in. The first attempt was a drop-crotch shalwar. It didn't catch on.
The real design came later, after Redwan met a gardener at the local Mosque wearing a pair of trousers he'd owned for thirty years, bought at a car-boot sale and never replaced. Redwan asked if he could copy them. The gardener agreed, on the condition Redwan make him a couple of new pairs in return.
A neighbour, a pattern cutter, took six months to draft it. From there, our tailor Kamali took over in his workshop in Bow, and has been making it ever since. We've made close to a thousand pairs in this cut.Cotton is a durable, natural, breathable fibre that holds up well to everyday wear. It's low-maintenance, doesn't need special handling, and gets softer the more it's washed. This is a dense, heavy-weight denim, a cotton twill built for structure and durability, that fades and softens with wear in a way that's part of its character.Loose, wide-leg fit | High-waisted (women) or natural waist (men) | Pleated front, pleats double as belt loops | Two side pockets, one back pocket | Adjustable button side tabs

Etta Blouse | Yellow Handloom Cotton
Blouses, Roomi Apparel, womens
A mandarin-collar blouse with a half-button front and gathered cuffs on the sleeve in handloom cotton, a durable and breathable fabric woven by hand on a traditional loom, giving it small, natural irregularities, that softens with wear.Emily wanted a blouse that didn't need thinking about. Something simple enough to wear with anything, but with just enough detail, the collar, the gathered cuff, to not feel plain either.Cotton is a durable, natural, breathable fibre that holds up well to everyday wear. It's low-maintenance, doesn't need special handling, and gets softer the more it's washed. Handloom cotton is woven by hand rather than by machine, a slower process that leaves small, natural variations in the weave, so no two pieces are ever quite identical.Mandarin collar | Half-button front | Gathered cuffs
