01 — The fit
Loose through the leg, high at the waist, and dyed until the black turns soft.
02 — The dye house
Nothing here starts from new. Silk offcuts, dead-stock linen, the odd bolt a mill forgot. Each piece is dipped by hand, left to oxidise in the sea air, then finished at a single bench, so no two drops ever quite match.
