The self tailoring range signalled Jed's entry into designing alternative clothes for the punk, goth and fetish scene and it remains a very popular range.

The strap trousers have an all round crotch zip and a general construction that means they are one of the most versatile pair of trousers on the market. These are bondage trousers with straps that have a dual purpose. The straps can be used to tailor the trousers to the wearer - the medium sized strap trousers, for example, can fit anyone, male or female, with a waist of between 28 inches to 36 inches. The webbing straps can also be used for bondage - to either tie the legs together or apart.... And then there's that zip...

The laced trousers are based on a similar principle to the strap trousers, but there is less emphasis on the bondage possibilies. These lace up trousers can be made from either black denim or black cotton drill/canvas, the edges of which are left raw so, over time, they fray, adding to the punk rock look. Unlike the strap trousers, the laced trousers have a regular trouser zip, but they are still as adjustable in size.

The strap tailcoat goes beautifully with either the strap trousers or the laced trousers to make for a very alternative suit. The tailcoat features zip off sleeves, a split tail and straps up the back as well as on the sleeves. There is a choice of both top fabric and satin linings, and the tailcoats come in a range of adjustable sizes.

The laced jacket is currently in just one size, based on a pattern for a 40 inch chest, but with straps and lacing around the midriff that can be used to tailor the fit. It is popular with both men and women, creating a classic 'triangular shape' between chest and waist. The laced jacket is made from black cotton drill/canvas, with a splash of colour from your choice of our range of satin fabrics.
