AnOrdain’s dials are made in Glasgow from vitreous enamel, using a process called Grand Feu : a slow, high-temperature fabrication that melts multiple layers of powdered minerals onto a metal base. The completed dial is smooth and almost organic in form, yet uniquely shaped during the layering and heating. The charm of the Model 1 is in the slightly imperfect enamel dial, which is part and parcel of being handmade, says Mark Cho, The Armoury’s co-founder.

The Casual Injunction Posted on August 27, 2020 by John Slamson 6 We often hear that menswear is headed towards casualisation. It may be so, but such casualisation is simultaneously paralleled with sartorialisation —men wearing suits not because it is the default template of social expectations, but because they like it. Tailoring has stepped down from normality only to climb onto a higher pedestal. That’s one of my pet theories—The Great Sartorialisation.

We are now advised to cover our face partially in order to help slow the spread of coronavirus whenever we are outside in the presence of other people. Face masks do not replace social distancing , which is still the most effective way to curb the spread, but they offer an additional layer of protection for both the wearer and the people around him/her. Since it is imperative at this stage that people do not buy and hoard medical equipment essential for frontline workers, we scoured the web (and our affiliate list) to find alternative options. These masks don’t take away equipment from front line workers, and they might help keep these companies afloat while they wait to resume their regular production. If you’d rather try your hand at sewing following the tutorial of a tailor, check out this tutorial to create your own face mask using any cloth you like. Happy shopping and stay safe.

Gucewicz Sunglasses: Handcrafted From Home Posted on July 7, 2020 by Alexander Freeling 3 Like so many other parts of previously normal life, the work of craftspeople has been disrupted and displaced by the current epidemic. Factories and workshops have been closed, like the stores which sell their finished products. Yet individual makers have persevered where they can. Continuing to exercise the skills that have taken years to sharpen. And we’ve seen the return to a mode of production common before industrialisation: individual, artisanal craft in the home .
