As I'm exhibiting at Goodwood's Festival of Speed over the next few days, I decided to treat myself to some new clothes. I'm now the proud owner of a sturdy, green, canvas apron, embellished with my SABEL Saddlery logo embroidered in a sky blue coloured thread.

Hand-made in England by Old Town, this apron has been designed with meticulous attention to detail and constructed to ensure longevity - of both performance and appearance.

If you're unfamiliar with Old Town, I recommend a visit to either their website or better still, their showroom to peruse their unique selection of hand-made clothing; classic items, lovingly made to a reassuringly high standard now rarely seen.

Many thanks to Miss Willey both for her patience as well as for her acceleration of our last-minute order.

My first foray into corporate workwear appears to have gone well.
