Collection 04 Autumn / Winter 2026
Linen garments in bone and moss tones hanging on a wooden rack in soft window light

Cut to last.
Worn to soften.

Eleven pieces in flax, merino, and waxed cotton — made slowly by four workshops we know by name, and mended by us for as long as you own them.

01

A season, considered

The collection story

We began this collection the way we begin every one: by asking what you already own. Autumn/Winter 2026 is not a new wardrobe — it is the missing third of the one you have. A jacket that takes the rain so your knit doesn't have to. A trouser cut high enough to tuck into. Nothing here asks to be noticed. Everything here expects to be kept.

Each piece was wear-tested for a full season before we ordered a single production run — hems let down, pockets re-set, one collar redrawn three times. The result is a small edit of eleven garments, four of which appear in the lookbook below.

Runs are small by design. When a size sells through, we re-cut in the next batch rather than overproduce. If you'd like first word when your size returns, ask us in the shop and we'll write your name down — genuinely, in a ledger.

The lookbook

Four of eleven pieces

Waxed organic cotton, corozo buttons. Breaks in like a good boot — and we re-wax it free, every year.

Shop this piece
The Everyday Linen Shirt in oat-cream stonewashed flax, folded
02 — Shirting
Everyday Linen Shirt$128

Stonewashed European flax, pre-softened so the first wear feels like the fiftieth. In shop and by phone.

The High-Rise Clay Trouser in terracotta brushed twill on a clip hanger
03 — Trousers
High-Rise Clay Trouser$164

Brushed cotton twill in kiln clay. Every pair hemmed to your inseam, on the house, while you wait.

The Weekend Knit in undyed cream merino, folded flat
04 — Knitwear
The Weekend Knit$198

Undyed merino spun and knitted in Cusco. The colour is the sheep's own — no two batches quite match.

03

Three fibers, no exceptions

Materials & ethos
I

European flax

Grown in Normandy on rain alone — flax needs no irrigation and little else. Our linen is stonewashed once, gently, then left to earn the rest of its softness from you.

II

Undyed merino

Mulesing-free fleece from two high-country flocks, spun without dye. What you see is the animal's own palette: bone, oat, and a grey that photographs badly and looks wonderful.

III

Waxed organic cotton

An 8oz organic canvas finished with a plant-based wax, not paraffin. It sheds weather for years and takes a crease like a diary takes handwriting.

04

The people who make it

Visited in person, every year
01

Alder & Rey

Porto, Portugal — est. 1968

A third-generation cutting room of fourteen people. Marta Rey redrew our field-jacket collar twice before she was satisfied; we had signed off on the first version. She was right.

02

Filature Duret

Normandy, France — est. 1952

Flax growers and spinners on the same fifty hectares for three generations. Their linen is scutched a field away from where it grew, which is rarer than it should be.

03

Taller Sisa

Cusco, Peru — est. 1991

A twelve-person knitting workshop working exclusively in undyed fleece. Each Weekend Knit carries the initials of its knitter inside the hem — look for them.

Fewer, better, longer
We would rather sell you one jacket this decade than three this year. — The founders, Thread & Pine
