Linen Gather Jacket

Heavy weight linen with 100% silk thread detailing, in a Sea Spray Green. This jacket features pull cords in the side, allowing the wearer to draw in the hemline for added interest, or extend for more coverage. This jacket, being soft and billowy, can as easily be worn as outerwear as it can be an overthrow house robe. This jacket was designed to marry the familiarity of the traditional Japanese kimono with nods to historical high-design French details. Traditionally luxurious details such as the ribbon detailing in the sleeve (a call to 1850s French style) and the gathering pull on the sides (mimicking a 1770's-'80's pull in French gowns to draw up the hemline) is made utilitarian and effortless, juxtaposed by the fabric, the minimization, and the simplicity of this jacket. The story is in the details of this piece; from the design, to the usage of fine silk thread to sew utilitarian patterning throughout the piece.    Designed in Alabama Ethically made in the USA Ethically sourced fabric
