The Back Pocket
The Back Pocket
Shirt and trouser, cut from the same cloth. One hundred percent linen.
The print is left whole. Teal, rust, ochre, black and cream run from the shoulder through the leg, so the two pieces read as one outfit.
One tone. Purple, and only purple: the collar, every button, and the band at the hem of the trouser. It finishes the cloth. It does not decorate it.
What defines the outfit is on the back. A single flap pocket, set between the shoulders, closed with one purple button. The rest of the back is clear cloth. From behind, that pocket is the mark of the set.
The shirt is long sleeve, purple collar, button front, straight hem worn over the trouser. The trouser is straight, in the same cloth, with a purple band at the hem. No logo on the cloth.
Fit
Cut a little loose to the body. Tailored, not tight, and not oversized. The shoulder sits in place. The linen has room to move.
Choose the size that matches your body. The figures below are body measurements, not the garment laid flat. If you fall between sizes, take the larger one.
If you would like the set finished to your own measurements, order the nearest size and send the following to Houseofraymitch@gmail.com: chest, shoulder, sleeve, shirt length, waist, hip, rise, and trouser length. Include your order name. The house cuts to those figures.
