It appears humble, but the handwoven fabric wears down so beautifully. The fabric is dyed and woven by a lovely group of ladies in Thailand and we’ll keep buying their fabric and making these for as long as they want to keep their shuttles moving. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis jacket (in this fabric) started as a Christmas gift - sort of. We developed this fabric over a year ago to make hand towels and tea towels. As such, we went wild. We mixed three gauges of hand-spun yarn to create a super-textured fabric - and used both naturally dyed and naturally coloured cotton. A year after development, it became clear this fabric would be amazing in a jacket - so we cancelled the towels (sorry mum) and made these. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIf you’ve heard us harp on about naturally coloured cotton before you might want to skip to the end - but some special cottons are different colours naturally - tones of brown (some greener, some browner). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFor reasons that make sense for the ‘needs’ of industry, but are quite sad for biodiversity, coloured cotton has become a rare crop. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThat said, naturally coloured cotton is a very Story mfg. product. An almost forgotten heirloom and natural material that may provide a more sustainable solution. If we can grow cotton that is naturally coloured - we wouldn't need to dye at all. Few are working on this and they have quite different approaches - some are looking into genetically engineering cotton at the gene stage to create variants that grow in any desired shade. Others are taking a more natural approach of breeding old varieties to create new ones. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYou may wonder why it even matters - it's a good question. There are many reasons, but two stand out. Growing lots of one, or a handful of the same plants is terrible for the planet (destroys soil) and risks catastrophe (a disease would wipe them all out). Secondly, while extinction is natural, when a plant dies out, so does all the secrets it holds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFor our part, we aren’t much of a force in the space other than a patron of those that are active. We’ll use it wherever possible - it's not only good for us and good for the planet but, as with many natural things, really beautiful and unique. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e*Please note due to the natural processes and handwoven nature of the garment, there may be some subtle variations in tone and texture.
