Shop: 2 Column

We found this fabric in a 100 year old fabric shop in Macclesfield. We were on our way back from visiting family in Poynton and took the advice of Emilys cousin's colleague to stop by on the way down to London. We were served by the 3rd and 5th generation of the family business of Shufflebothams and son. They had some amazing end of lines from Yorkshire and Irish mills. What an amazing find.This fabric they sourced from Magees of Donegal.A heavy weight that you only find on vintage coats nowadays.Here we have the opportunity to make them new.This is probably our best and warmest coat in the past 10 years of coat making.The unusual two tone colour also speaks for itself in uniqueness. If you're looking for 'the one', this is it. We found just enough fabric to make 10 coats.

We found this fabric in my favourite fabric shop Woolcrest. When i used to work there, i used to always put aside the top of the cream for myself when there was a new delivery.This fabric is likely to come from a Burberry factory as an end of line but i could never say say for sure!And here's the chatgpt descriptionA substantial wool tweed woven in a classic heritage check of warm browns with a subtle russet overcheck. The cloth has a soft but structured hand, giving the coat shape while remaining comfortable enough for everyday wear.Inside, the coat is lined in a deep burgundy cotton which adds warmth, durability, and a quiet richness when the coat is opened. The combination of earthy tweed and the dark red lining reflects the colours of winter fields and old interiors — practical, timeless, and made to age beautifully.
