Leave a #๐Ÿ‘• if you like! ๐Ÿคญ When I started to build a more sustainable vintage style slow fashion wardrobe it was hard to find timeless Henley shirts, named after the traditional uniform of rowers in the English town of Henley-on-Thames.

Leave a #๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ if you like! ๐Ÿคญ So happy I finally received my new bespoke 1920s drawers by @marksdillon โ™ฅ๏ธ Since these authentic undergarments have no elastic they are connected to oneโ€™s suspenders / braces with two loops sewn onto the front on each side. He not only made these a little bigger in the waist but also added an inch or so to the rise since I gained a little weight since he made my last drawers โ˜บ๏ธ Also we went for a longer leg for extra warmth in winter ๐Ÿฅถ After I got dressed Beau was kind enough to put the garment to a little stress test ๐Ÿ˜œ They are a jolly good fit ๐Ÿ˜‡

Leave a #๐Ÿงตif you like! My first visit to the atelier of @marksdillon - sewist of vintage style menโ€™s drawers. Having worn his authentic 1920s undergarments for quite some time now we needed to adapt the fit as I am still in the process of gaining weight since I stopped smoking. Historical clothing and reproductions in vintage style fit and support your body quite differently in comparison to contemporary outfits but are nonetheless comfortable when worn in the right size. Although it is disappointing to realise a hard to come by item is no longer fitting you and needs to be replaced - I have somewhat also learned to embrace the fact that our human body is ever changing for various reasons and deserves to be treated with respect in its complexity. I no longer focus on worrying about the changes, but instead honor my body as it is in the moment with the attire that serves it best. In this case I have outgrown the adjustable straps at the back of the underpants which already allowed it to grow with me two sizes. Now it is time for something new - canโ€™t wait for my order to arrive! ๐Ÿคญ

Breaking in this extraordinary gift from my friend and seamster of my custom made drawers @marksdillon - When I visited his Studio in NYC Mark kindly bequeathed me with this long sought after menswear classic: An antique Derby or Bowler Hat in the Cromer Style manufactured for @brooksbrothers New York by @herbertjohnsonhatters of New Bond Street in London. The hard top bears almost no marks and no dents at all- a perfect fit and a dream come true for me! Thank you so much Mark! ๐Ÿค— Paired with the green Shetland suit by @cathcartheritage and the Noblemanโ€™s boots by @americanduchess itโ€™s my favourite outfit this winter - โ€ฆunless it does rain, that is! ๐Ÿค—
