Edinburgh designer Kestin Hare spent years in the industry — working with Nigel Cabourn, Margaret Howell, and Burberry — before launching Kestin in 2015, the label that quietly became the benchmark for men who want Japanese selvedge-culture sensibility applied to Scottish design references without paying Engineered Garments prices.
The Crammond overshirt is cut in Japanese seersucker: a fabric woven with alternating tight and slack tension so the surface puckers naturally, sitting away from the skin and allowing air to move. Made in Portugal at a specialist shirting factory that Hare has worked with since the beginning. The navy check reads as a contemporary riff on tattersall shirting codes; the utility pockets and relaxed hem acknowledge the outdoor and workwear references that run through everything Kestin produces. It works on a warm evening in the city or on a hillside in the Cairngorms with the same ease. Hare designs everything in Edinburgh with reference to vintage military clothing, outdoor kit, and civilian workwear — and the Crammond lands squarely in that lineage. SS26.
