Blanket-draped brown check wool cape-jacket over cuffed navy workwear trousers

A heritage check wool is cut like a blanket thrown over the shoulders, its buttoned front collapsing tailoring into a shawl. Paired with turned-up navy work trousers and battered boots, it reads as poetic, rural utility.

    “Woollen tartan sett with layered overchecks in teal, red and yellow. The blanket-like length is wrapped around the shoulders and arms, loosely recalling a Scottish plaid shawl.”
