A modern and comfortable jacket with soul as Indian ethnic. The jacket is made for conscious consumers who want to buy eco-friendly product from local artisans in India.
The wool has Gaddi sheep wool in warp and cotton in weft. The Gaddi wool story is very interesting in the sense that it is used by pastoral tribe of Himalayan Range for ages, as their heritage textiles. We discovered its potential as an alternative to synthetic wool after a visit to Chamba Valley in Himachal Pradesh.
The wool is totally organic as no chemicals or electricity is used in its yarn stage. The fabric is made on handloom in Bikaner. The virgin wool has healing properties due to Himalayan herbs that sheep graze upon.
It is a front open jacket with hook and eye till waist. Basic round neck in front. Fully lined with cotton lining, it has slit in handkerchief sleeve for a simple style statement. The jacket is straight and boxy fit from armhole level to hemline. No side seam shaping.
Based on zero waste pattern, the jacket doesn't have any seam at the side. Own this jacket at very reasonable price so that we can preserve what is local. Gaddi sheep wool faces many challenges like competition from Acrylic synthetic wool, and imported sheep wool from abroad.
Let us buy local in order to sustain our local economy. The sizes can be customized. The washing should be avoided, dry clean only is recommended. The Black is natural color and Ecru as well.
