If Monty Don was a woman....

Where would he shop?

I really want some lovely cotton or linen stuff, in my mind I see a loose fitting linen jumpsuit with scrappy straps and a side zip. It wouldn't be 'fashion' or ridiculously wide or show a silly amount of side boob. Simple and not humongous.

I search everywhere and can never find what im after, I can't be fussed with trends, but want some more choice. I used to like toast but they fit me horribly and the colour palettes don't suit me.

Are there any shops I don't know about that can do me a Monty style wardrobe? Natural fabrics that could see me gardening or walking by the lake, etc...

I have been painting watercolour flowers recently, more in the style of Elizabeth Blackadder than a precise botanical rendering. It's as close to monsieur Don as I am going to get at the moment. I am currently sporting roll up straight leg jeans from Crewe clothing and a lovely second hand Toast Guernsey. I dearly coveted those dutch trousers at Carrier Co but felt drowned alive in them.

Have you tried the dutch trousers @DancingFroglet? I've vented about the sizing instructions before so I won't repeat it all but I'd love to hear a report from someone who's seen them for real.

I'm afraid I can't link as there'll be a paywall to navigate (I read it the old fashioned way in the newspaper) but The Times had a whole piece yesterday on where to find a jacket like Monty Don's. We were way ahead of the curve, Ladies!

For fans of this style, a new name from California: Jess Kamm. Unfortunately WAY above my means!
