Let’s Get Technical

There comes a time each year when we should evaluate sartorial choices of seasons gone by.

Does that Hawaiian print shirt still represent ‘me’? Still going strong with that novelty sweater?

Chances are, the clothes that worked then no longer feel so relevant now – especially in the very strange year that is 2020.

But the ones that do stand up to trends, your evolving style, and even the occasional pandemic?

Investment pieces.

The kind of item that stays timeless; one that, in 10 years’ time, will make you feel awesome about buying it – not leaving you wondering, “what on earth was I thinking?”

To help you out, here is one item you’ll want to invest in now, and wear forever.

Technical Overcoat

This is where fashion meets function. If you’ve kept up with our instagram page, then perhaps you noticed the break down of two of these jackets last week. I enjoy making them and I can’t think of a better time than now to explore. They can be dressed up or down, and when made with a quilted lined interior (that can be removed) it will serve on the coldest of days as well.

Here are three models offered at ABBEYDALE. All custom made.

The Hooded Coat will help you storm through the cold and and rain/snow in style. This coat includes a detachable hood. Zip closure and button closure to really lock it up. Slanted welt pockets. Single back vent with button. 7mm top stitching. A throat tab and detachable quilted lining.
