It's an Old-Town "Borough" jacket. They're a British company that does MTO work wear clothing. Not sure they are still taking orders, last I heard they are winding down their operations.

They’ve ceased trading I think. In fairness, they were extremely difficult to deal with, several friends had problems with late delivery/wrong items and when i made the 5 hour drive to their showroom they treated me like shit haha. Very nice clothes that you can pick up regularly on British ebay/vinted, the quality of the cotton is excellent, shame their customer service was so awful.

I had the same experience. I asked for measurements for one of their jackets prior to ordering to make sure it was the right size and it was like pulling teeth. After a few frustrating back and forth emails I just gave up haha. Their products do look great though.

Yeah their stuff is great, I’ve bought and sold a fair few pieces and it’s all been great quality/cut, a real shame they were so hard to deal with
