Paul will more ulsters be made this year or will it also be a limited number?

Yep. Last year we made only a few because (a) cautious on account of it being the first year of the Ulster, and you never really know how a new design will be received, and (b) the limited nature of the Herdwick cloth.

The new shawl cardigan looks fantastic! I love the updated seam which runs under the armpit to the shoulder. I hope to see a version of it next year in North Sea Blue 😉.

Is the placket wider than previous iterations? From the photo in the cocoa (also a lovely colour), the placket looks wider.

With regard to the shawl cardigan, is the body length shorter this year, and more in line with the crewneck? I ask only because the pictures on the mannequin look to have a shorter body length than the pictures on the model. Thanks for the information!

It's about an inch shorter. So yes, on the man last year, it is both longer and hanging free, whereas on the mannequin, it is shorter and because it is fully fastened and clinging somewhat to the calico skin of the mannequin, it isn't hanging so free.

It is, yes — about 3/8 inch wider.

... aaaand a few additional photographs of the peacoat, for anyone whose visual field has yet to be abraded by the Herdwick tweed.

What are the chances the grey cardigan in XL gets restocked? It’s getting chilly and this money burning a hole in my pocket probably won’t keep me warm through the winter.

Afraid not, sorry, no — we've no plans to make any more of them. Still, I'll make a note, and if one comes back my way then you can rest assured you will hear from me.
