JK-96
Hemp Wool Linen Jacket
An original fabric with a No. 10 woollen-count hemp dyed black in the warp and a No. 14 woollen-count blend of Shetland wool and linen in the weft. The cloth is a satin weave used as a back-satin, with the reverse serving as the face, so much of the Shetland-wool-and-linen weft shows on the outside. Brushing is applied to the face only, giving a fabric that combines warmth with strength.
A box-silhouette jacket with a comfortable amount of ease through the body and arms. Turning the brushed face inward adds warmth. Together with a practical pocket layout, a yoke-sleeve pattern gives room to move at the arms, with function and durability in mind. It uses no metal parts; the buttons are made of buffalo horn.
*There are knots and unevenness in the threads that are unique to natural materials. This is because we place importance on texture and use raw materials with uneven fibre lengths, so please consider this as part of the look. Please be careful not to pull on the knots in the threads too hard, as this may cause the threads to break and create holes in the fabric.
*After wearing, gently brushing the surface to smooth the pile helps prevent pilling. If pills do form, do not pull at them; trim them with small scissors. We are happy to advise on care at any time.
*Please note that, given the nature of the material, re-dyeing is difficult. We may be able to address stains and unevenness, so please consult us.
