Avre Friday Briefing #66
Re-stocked items now available
If you've been after a Batch No. 2 Smock or a Batch No. 3 Shawl Shirt we've just updated the website with live stock available to purchase and for immediate dispatch. This stock is very limited and once it's gone, it really is gone as for both batches we've used up the very last of the material. The website now reflects what's actually available.

Chalke Valley — What we're bringing
Early next week we'll be packing for the Chalke Valley History Festival. We'll be there from Wednesday 24th - Sunday 28th June. We'll have Batch No. 2 Smocks, some Batch No. 3 Shawl Collar Shirts, and a few bottles of our blended malt, Vat 01 whisky — and that's it for the week.
Pre-Orders
Order anything for collection in person at Chalke and we'll cover your day ticket. Email us hello@avreind.com and we'll let you know the details.
Secret Whisky
One more thing on the whisky front — Jim (that's Jim, below, not James H) is bringing a secret bottle of his own to the festival. Find him there and see if you can talk him round. In case you didn't know, this is Jim (sporting a one-off custom camo Batch No. 2).
Batch No. 4 — James and Al try on the Battledress
We've got a new video up on YouTube of James and Al wearing Batch No. 4, the Battledress Blouse and talking through the concept behind it. The Officer's Cut, the parachute silk lining and why we're making these bespoke.
If you want to see one of the finished articles and feel the fabric before committing to a fitting, Chalke Valley is the easiest way to do it — we'll be set up to take Battledress fitting bookings on site.
Can't make Chalke? Place your order online and we'll be in touch about arranging an in person fitting, or alternatively we can send you a measurement guide so you can do it yourself at home.
