Black Irish Linen

Black Irish Linen

$1,680.00

You looked back over your shoulder — the coast was clear.  The rag protecting the tinbox, soft in your hands, smelled of diesel from a time long passed…and with it you filled your lungs.  Wrapped up within, the box had an illustration of an old fisherman with a pipe stuck in his mouth.  “Lisburn’s Lozenge’s”.  You gave it a shake.  Nothing.   So, you opened it slowly, eyes adapting to the blackness within.  It took some time as the texture of it contents made you dizzy.  A small swatch of black linen. Full bodied, so as to crumple rather than crease, if worn as a suit.  Eureka!  And what a suit! 

  • Cloth by Dugdale Bros
