At some point, I'll write up the story of the incredible effort that's gone into these last seven days but right now, the most important thing is...your Lawrence is on it's way!

Although these updates have sometimes been written under pressure, it's been a joy to share the progress and to bring you along with me behind the scenes.

We're on the home stretch! I collected all the jackets from Bolton on Friday and dropped them off at the studio in Leicester first thing Saturday morning.

Being completely transparent, I was getting more than a little bit panicky by this time last week. I'd been to London to visit two potential factories and both had politely turned me down.

In order to get the Lawrence made, most of the elements that make up the whole jacket are undertaken by separate individuals.

Last week was spent taking all the pattern pieces for each of the 50 jackets and laying them out to be as efficient as possible - this is known as a 'marker' in trade talk.

The replacement lining has been delivered, I've dropped it off with the crew at Harvey Quilting and I've been promised that I can pick it up at the end of the week.

When I ordered the printed lining, I over ordered by 10% to give me some wiggle room but I couldn't have predicted that I'd need an extra 50% contingency.

After everything going to plan last week, this week has been a tale of chasing couriers.

From buying your jacket through to delivery, I want the entire experience to be positive. Putting myself in your shoes, a big part of that means being kept up to date.
