Bridget Blouse; Off Duty Joggers in black

Bridget Blouse

£340.00

Select size:

Made to order

Model is 5'8.5", UK 8, wears S/M

Black tumbled Irish linen, a double-breasted front and a generous collar: the Bridget Blouse finds its character in a few well-chosen details. The linen is soft from the first wear, giving the blouse an ease that balances its more formal front.

The collar frames the face and gives the black cloth a distinct shape. Wear it with the Sunday Suit Trousers for a little borrowed formality, or with a Beetled Bow Skirt to bring two very different linen finishes together. The soft, tumbled blouse and the skirt's crisp, light-catching surface make a particularly good pairing.

Linen softens and grows more beautiful with age, which is one of the reasons we love it so much. We recommend either hand washing or machine washing at 30°C separately. Leave to air dry naturally, then press with a warm iron if desired. Do not tumble dry.

Our made to order pieces have a production time of 3-4 weeks.

Ready to ship items will be shipped within 1-2 working days.

The cloth

Black Irish linen.
The good black.

Plain black linen, the colour of Sunday best.

Black was the colour of the good clothes: the Sunday coat, the choir robe, the dress kept for occasions. In linen it is never flat. The slub of the yarn gives it texture, and it softens with every wash.

Kept for Good uses it plainly, so the shape does the talking: the long, gathered line of the Ceremony Dress, the double-breasted Bridget Blouse, tumbled for softness, and the Off Duty Joggers. For black with a sheen, there is our beetled linen.

Every piece is cut and sewn in Belfast by one of our sewists, who sees it through from the first cut to the last stitch.

We keep our making close to home on purpose. Belfast was once the linen capital of the world, and the skills that built it are rare now. Making here is how we keep them alive.
