A flat cap is all it takes to look retro.

The tweed tones working well with the suit & tie.

The cap checks out a nice motor.

Boyd

For Spring 09 D.S.DUNDEE has an exciting collaboration with long-standing UK shirt manufacturers Rayner & Sturges. To discuss the finer points of production first-hand and meet Robert Boyd Bowman and his team we recently visited the R&S factory in Brompton, Kent.

Old School

New School

Rayner & Sturges has been in the shirt business since 1913 and currently makes for a number of well established brands and Jermyn Street stores. Here are some wooden pattern templates for some popular styles and a more modern view of how a laser cuts through a stack of fabric.

The D.S.DUNDEE shirt gets the steam treatment

After our meeting and to conclude our tour of the factory we took the opportunity to get our sample shirt steamed & pressed with this amazing machine. The easy way to iron a shirt.

Sneak preview..

Here’s where the R&S label will be stitched into one of our limited edition cotton gingham checks for Spring. The stock should be with us by the beginning of May along with other SS09 products!

“There must be something in the water over the border. Our not-too-distant-at-all neighbors in Scotland seem intent on producing brands that us ‘Sassenachs’ love to wear. Whether it’s Pringle, or the recent phenomenon of Lyle & Scott, scottish clothing, and in particular traditional knitwear has been hogging the limelight of British high street fashion for quite some time.

D.S. Dundee are no different, and these relative young upstarts are happy to take on the established names in Scottish fashion – Chiefly by doing things on their own terms while wanting to promote the very best of fabrics from across the UK. Our first drop of D.S. Dundee is composed of some stunning tweed coats and fantastic knitwear. D.S. Dundee knits retain so much of their Scottish heritage, with nods to outdoor pursuits and the use of top quality Angora wools. While other aspects draw from other, more distant Gallic influences, with a quite French feel to some of the knits. The tweed jackets need to be seen to be believed, belted shooting jackets with a modern cut, these are made of 640g tweed with calf’s leather trim. No compromise has been made on quality or attention to detail, classic features such as cartridge pockets sit alongside modern features such as hidden cuffs and military style lapels.

We know this modest first delivery from D.S. Dundee won’t be our last, the quality of each garment can compete with any of the more established names in our catalogue. Quite brilliant stuff, maybe it’s because its cold North of the Border? I dunno…”

D.S.DUNDEE, newly relaunched, have a beautiful men’s collection, be it a little on the pricey side, an investment maybe? Or just take some inspiration if your wallet is a little tighter, or emptier. I had a teeny dig at tartan before, but the Dundee collection of 100% wool tartan trousers are practically perfect, just don’t put them on a hot wash or you’ll end up with perfect tartan shorts. The tweed shooting jacket stands out as a wearable and warmer alternative to the classic mac, and the semi brogue boots are a smarter version of the scruffier 1950’s style variety that are all over the high street, and probably work better with drainpipes.

D.S.DUNDEE gets its first piece of press in The London Paper on Tuesday 9th September 2008.
