01
Asymmetric front
The right panel runs 4 cm wider than the left so the closure sits off-centre; seam spacing repeats on the kente count rather than on standard panel intervals.
Atlas Weave · Outerwear
Lagos Offset Overshirt
Offset mandarin neckline
Kente's counted rhythm becomes the seam spacing — panels repeat on the weave's count rather than on a tailoring standard.
Collar closes off-centre on a hidden hook.
World cloth
- England — Dry-finished tweed
- Portugal — Heavy brushed cotton
- Ghana — Kente-gauge cotton used as an inner facing
Made in Huddersfield, inner facing woven in Bonwire.
Tailoring notes
How it is built.
02
Dropped armhole
Set 5 cm below the natural shoulder to allow full layering over knitwear without a pull at the back.
03
Weighted hem
A concealed chain-free lead-free brass tape runs the hem so the tweed hangs plumb in wind.
Construction: Asymmetric front panel · Dropped armhole · Weighted hem
Care
Keep it alive.
- Dry clean only.
- Brush after wear with a soft-bristle clothes brush, following the twill.
- Rest the garment 24 hours between wears; heritage cloth recovers its own shape.
- Spot clean with cold water and a white cloth — never a coloured cloth on resist-dyed panels.
- Store on a broad wooden hanger; folded storage flattens loom-strip structure.
