Black Cotton Hand Woven Jacket

Cut with a straight silhouette, this cotton jacket falls open at a collarless V-neck with no closure across the front. Full sleeves and a straight hem keep the shape clean, while the woven check catches subtle texture across the body, with two welt pockets set low on either side. Layer it over a plain top and tailored trousers, finishing with hoops for a working weekday.

Craft Details

The seemingly simple technique of interlacing threads on a handloom has resulted in a richness and diversity of woven textiles in India, which few other societies can match. Generations of skilled weavers have produced fabrics using a variety of hand-operated looms and varied combinations and permutations of the weft and warp threads. Each of these fabrics possesses a characteristic.
