Summer has arrived in London! No promise of a barbecue summer yet from the Met Office, but it feels like it is getting that way. Charlotte Street with its outdoors cafe lifestyle is perfect for this kind of weather and you can see from the picture that the Fitzroy Tavern at tisn’t doing too badly either....

Some of our more clairvoyant customers saw this coming and have timed it to perfection. These four pairs of trousers for example were finished this week and will be ready to wear for the summer. There are two linen pairs (the purple and the herringbone), one in a cotton/linen/wool/mohair blend (the grey stripe) and the other in a cotton/silk blend. It will be particularly interesting to see how the blend performs in the summer – we shall be sure to get some feedback from our customer and keep you updated on the blog!

The fabrics are from Dormeuil and Scabal, who seem to keep their ranges updated with some interesting and modern colours, patterns and blends.

Of course, if you haven’t ordered yet, there is still plenty of time – we can turn around a pair of trousers in a matter of six or seven weeks, which would leave a couple of months of summer wear at least!
