Woven on a vintage 33" Shuttle Loom in Pennsylvania, this custom 3x1 neppy 10.5oz selvage is made from smooth, strong Hemp from France (weft) and Organic Upland Cotton (warp) grown by a cooperative of organic farmers in West Texas. The selvages are gilded with Brown Organic Foxfibre®, a naturally coloured cotton grown & bred by farmer/ scientist Sally Fox in N. Cali. After being locally ginned & carded, the cottons are spun into yarn in North Carolina by one of two US mills that will spin organic cotton-    Part of a growing range of soil-to-loom bespoke textiles made in collaboration with farms and mills~

 

This style is a revival of the DANA LEE "Work Coat" (2012-2016)- a  relaxed, soft-shouldered jacket with enamelware buttons.  In addition to sizing-up the fit, a back seam has been introduced as well as a selvage-edge facing. Each coat has been single-rinsed and sun-dried for an easy, relaxed feel. 

 

Each jacket is finished with a hand-chronicled label, tracing the cotton's journey from farm-to-final-garment.
