If you were to look closely at Albert’s navy coat, you might notice that his gold buttons and red cuffs look a little familiar. The village postmen and women have worn the very same tailored cut for over one hundred years, patterned after the wool coats worn by English postal workers in the early 1900s.
Albert comes from a very long line of postmen and postwomen. His father was a postman, as was his grandmother, and both wore the very same tailored cut. Built for long, chilly morning rounds, all Albert has to do is button his coat up, and he’s kept warm from the rain and wind that often gust down the hills and through the hollow.
