James, Richmond

“Suit trousers, next-day. I posted them Monday morning and wore them Tuesday. The hem still looks like Savile Row, not a rush job.”

Portrait of a woman

Priya, Hackney

“A vintage coat with a shredded lining. They relined it in a cloth that actually breathes. I will not be giving this one away.”
