Description: There is a wonderful paradox to this weave. It is royal and elegant looking with its intricate weave and refined appearance. It also has a casual rusticity about it that we love. The combination is quite striking, especially with its mix of Ocean Steamer (a pleasing navy) with our Midnight Train (go-with-everything black). The front side features the herringbone detail. The backside, or what will be against your skin, has a fluffier chenille weave, making it cozy and comforting. It makes it an ideal choice for an unlined jacket or duster coat. Content: A blend of cotton and viscose. Three season weave. Care: Simply hand wash or put through machine delicate cycle in cold water with a plant based detergent. We suggest using a natural fabric softener to maintain the softness we have washed into it. Tumble dry on extra-low heat with our artisan wool dryer balls, just for a few minutes, to keep the relaxed effect that is featured in the Look Book. Because of its looser weave and rustic nature, some of the yarns might move amidst the weave. If this happens whilst washing, do not fret. Simply reshape and put the yarns back into place. It is part of its rustic character.
