Elvet Jacket
Elvet Jacket
Handmade in a British wool cloth from one of our last remaining Welsh woollen mills.
Indulgently lined with silky soft, deep green cashmere, the colour of scotts pine forests.
With limited amounts of this special cloth, this will be a predominantly made-to-order garment. Please allow 2 weeks. If you have concerns about timing, please do get in touch.
Woven on historic looms from British wool yarns, our new jacket is supporting the massive restoration of Elvet Woollen Mill. Tucked into the Cothi Valley, Carmarthenshire, Elvet is one of only 7 working woollen mills left in Wales and a vital part of the mission to preserve the textile heritage of Wales.
You can read more about the Elvet story on our blog post, here.
An easy fitting, non-gendered jacket - come - cardigan. The hard wearing outer cloth - something British wool does so well - has a graphic pattern that hints towards our heritage Welsh blankets, but unlike the heavy double cloth this one is actually a lighter weight, twill weave, allowing it the drape, comfort and versatility of an every day go-to layer. The soft, forest green cashmere lining to the body and collar offers an extra level of luxurious warmth. The sleeves and side pockets are lined with snuggly soft organic brushed cotton (harder wearing than cashmere for ‘high traffic areas’)
Made entirely with natural fibres - no hidden synthetic facings or interliners - you can handwash this jacket (should you ever need to) just like a wool jumper.
