This kilt denotes the coastline of the wearers home, charted across its hem in freehand machine embroidery which covers the main body of raw black denim, inset with charcoal wool sateen from The Isle Mill and a signature strip of Romney Tweed — aptly named Seas Edge. Bespoke straps feature the orange/red accent of the vintage OS map I was briefed with by my client, modular origamist Dr Ellie Clewlow, who also brought into this commemorative kilt the words of a local poet which I printed in its lining.
