Cut and constructed with traditional tailoring craft, the extra seam allowance offers the possibility to alter the jacket’s size and fit. The vents and cuffs lining are hand sewn with heavy ivory cotton thread (100%), offering both an artisanal finish and freedom for the fabric to live with the wearer.

TREATMENT

Artisanal dark hand dyed « Mi-Laine » fabric, requiring time and expertise, allowing for this beautiful textured finish, using heat resulting in a slightly felted fabric. The lining is dyed separately from the shell, using natural Oak tree, Hornbeam and Bramble leafs to create a print, oxidized with iron.

FINISHING

Handsewn keyhole silk buttonholes in the front and cuffs, with 7 natural dark horn buttons.
