It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Hokusai’s wood-block print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa and anything related to its shape. It’s my desktop wallpaper. I have a short sleeved tuxedo jacket that my fabulous tailor, Monika, made for me a couple of years ago using a print based on the woodcut. I’m still contemplating and trying to perfect a tattoo based on the woodcut for my upper back. And now – with the end of my (ridiculously challenging) consultancy and getting back into this blogging business after some time away – it’s time to take on the big wave again. This time, it’s all about a boyfriend blazer and shorts combo!
This pattern had me at hello. Psar Tuol Tom Pong is such a treasure trove! I instantly knew it was going to be a jacket, and later on, matching shorts! I cannot wait to see how it all turns out!

If you are open, I’d love to purchase a few shirts in the wave print. Can you share your tailor’s details?
