Another post that didn’t get posted before I left to hop over the pond is this rather fantastic red shirt.

I pitched up in Kent today with my camera to spend some time with the people at the factory and sit in on the making process. The guys and gals were very helpful and I left feeling very in awe of their skill and extremely proud of my shirts. Many of them have been working [...]
