PLEASE NOTE: We specialise in antique print reproductions, the originals of which can be centuries old. Please be aware that any minor imperfections noticeable on your prints derive from the original images, and not as a result of our printing processes. Some prints may seem a little grainier than an equivalent modern image; they may also show slight creases, smudges or tears that could not be removed during restoration without detracting from the original. In our opinion, these slight imperfections add to the authenticity of a print. Before buying, please check your selected prints carefully using the zoom viewing option. This should give you a good idea of what you will receive. Please note there may be slight colour or tone variations in the physical prints due to different monitor and device settings.

Made from vintage-style American tanned horsehide with a waxed pull-up texture and lined in hand-woven Harris tweed tartan. This is the ultimate early dispatch style jacket that we sketched up and created for a client intended to reference, and yet outshine, early 20th century motos. The aniline hides take on a beautiful distressed texture over time which can be accentuated or polished out, depending on your preference. The military style buttons have an image of Saint George slaying a dragon. ------------------------ Everything is completely custom and handmade. The pricing above is for a (very complicated!) jacket with a comparable level of detail and number of pockets, but contact us before ordering to discuss all options and to get a quote on your custom project.
Architecture is meant to fulfill both practical and expressive requirements, and thus it serves both utilitarian and aesthetic purposes. When you look at a structure, you can distinguish these two ends but they cannot be separated, and the relative weight each of them carry can vary widely. Plus, every society has its own, unique relationship to the natural world and its architecture usually reflects that as well, allowing people from other places to learn about their environment, as well as history, ceremonies, artistic sensibility, and many aspects of daily life.
