We have plans to make trousers in the future, but we haven't had enough demand for the high-waisted variety
Just a straw poll, who would want at least a 12" rise?
Yes
Oh yeah, I'm a sucker for strides that ride high
There's a market for them, I for one would also be more inclined to buy with a high rise. Interesting that there are places like the Armoury offering them along with others.
Is it a case of people don't know they are available or no demand?

Lovely jackets.
Thanks WM, we have made a few size 36 this time to gauge the reation.
Herringbone looks the most useful of the three.
A classic Prince of Wales black and white with a blue or a red overcheck would be good.
Also classic Donegals come in some wonderful colours (not just black and white salt and pepper). You could base a whole range on them. A far better tweed than Harris in my opinion( though they missed a trick with trademarks). Donegal can be used through a lot more months in the year. I still wear a non-Ivy Donegal jacket I bought in
Ardara years ago.
I have the blue H&J jacket. You cannot get more practical than that. I never did get round to replacing the buttons with metal blazer buttons though.
It fitted perfectly in Putney. Then I put it on a hanger and the next time I wore it there were divots in the arms. I steamed it. Still divots. Then after wearing it the divots disappeared and the divots have not returned. I still hang it up on similar hangers.
I wonder what that was all about?
HEADS UP!....
We are clearing out a dozen jackets in sizes 40-44 at £100 each. Details are on our Facebook page.
We will be stocking lightweight cotton sateen jackets in a Wash'n'Wear look. These will be 3-patch available in olive, stone and navy. There will be an option to purchase a matching trouser length so you can get the trouser style you prefer made up by your tailor. We will also be stocking natural linen jackets in our usual style.
^ I've found most natural shoulder jackets benefit from this style of hanger...

and depending on the lining involved I put some of the fluffy side of some sticky back velcro on the shoulder bits of the hanger to stop slippage.
