S.E.H Kelly

[HomunculusTheElder]

I wonder — is there a bad way?!

Come to think of it, no! It was my immediate reaction to putting it on for the first time though!

There probably will be; I'd be surprised if there weren't.

And would a man be able to, say, be on some sort of "list" to notify him of its release so he could get first dibs on it??

Absolutely!

But can you please email me at [email protected] to arrange that? Not very adept at managing these things across platforms!

Merry Christmas Paul & fellow SEHK fans!

The Donkey Jacket & Toque is working just as designed while me and the kids get up to some mischief on this beautiful Christmas Eve day in Ontario, Canada. Have a happy Christmas & New Years one and all.

Merry Christmas. I too was wearing some SEH Kelly outerwear while helping my sister and her husband shovel their driveway

An Ulster in that thick 27oz navy wool melton would be pretty sweet. Just a thought.

Very wholesome!

A lovely picture.

See, this is why we must have the best customers — you with your shovel, the fella who tells me he wore his peacoat while leading a flash mob of carolers around elderly care homes, the man wearing his cardigan while feeding the local homeless in an impromptu soup kitchen in his front yard, and the nice man who spends every Christmas in his S.E.H Kelly duffle coat while adopting and rehoming kittens from all nearby shelters.

God bless them, every one.

A little update as to what's-what vis-à-vis this and that and all the rest of it ...

We are finishing off the engineer jacket right now. We've made it in inverted Bedford cord -- "inverted" as in not upside-down or with all the colours taken to the opposite side of the colour wheel, but rather inside-out. I happen to find the reverse side of cotton Bedford cord quite nice, see, so this is one of those "why not" efforts which I really must say has panned out quite nicely.

The design of the jacket itself is also markedly different. It is shorter, the pockets are much more bold, and I think it plays a little more complementarily to the unusual structure of the jacket, with its sidebody-is-armhole unusualness.

Hot on its heels is a new style: the safari jacket, or maybe the "combat jacket" depending on exactly what it looks most like when it is born (the former to my mind just being the name for the latter in sandy territories). We're making this one in a crisp cotton cavalry twill. It might be best described as the trench but jacket length and single-breasted. It's another one with an unorthodox construction, and details and features which play into that construction -- i.e. the pockets are built into the seams presented naturally by the structure of the jacket. It also has a "fancy back" with lots of pleats and suchlike.

Then there's another new one: the Harrington jacket, which I've named previously here as the golf jacket. This one is made in the same cotton cambric as the newly released anorak last month, and the same colours, too. It's much like a classic Harrington but with a fly front and a full double layer at the front and back -- ergo is sensationally weatherproof -- and the layer at the front serves as a rain guard for hands plunged into the pockets just below. Very much a "deceptively simple" one, with quite a lot of head-scratching and chin-stroking going into its development, often at the same time.

Finally there's the work jacket and the field shirt. The former is the same as previous iterations, but I think much to the cheer of some, we have replaced the open underarms with a nice diamond-shaped gusset: less ventilation, but much more upward lift. And the field shirt is the same as last time(s) but slightly simplified and made this time in cotton duck canvas.

Jackets and jacket-like mid-layers galore!

The pyjama jacket will hopefully be fairly hot on all their heels. This time we're making it in a silk-linen-merino blend woven by the same mill responsible for the hopsack tweed of the balmacaan last year, and has texture and visual stimulation very much up the wazoo, as all the kids these days say.

Hey everyone, please let me know if this isn't the correct forum for selling SEH Kelly items. I have this fishing jacket in a rich brown cotton cambric that doesn't fit quite right in the chest for me unfortunately. It's been seldom worn as a result sitting in my closet, so hopefully someone can enjoy this great piece.

Size Large
Measurements:

• Shoulder: 20"
• Chest: 22"
• Length: 28"
• Sleeve: 24"

Looking to get $400 shipped in the US, thanks!

Quite.

If I remember right, the largest size SEH Kelly made was a medium in this coat, which is a size too small for me. But I had to have it. Fortunately, it's also warm enough for the mid-atlantic without a sweater underneath.

Very interested in the Harrington, Paul! When do you think it will be available?

@sehkelly Any idea whether the topcoat will reappear next year? Bummed I missed out on an XL in granite
