Handwoven Eri Silk Y-Jacket

*This product is unisex. Please be sure to check the size details.

Product Description

This long jacket is made from handwoven Eri silk.

Eri silk is hand-spun from Eri cocoons, a type of wild silkworm harvested in the northern Indian state of Assam, and woven on looms in villages in northern Bengal.
It has a slightly slimy warmth and a rustic texture.

The hem is slightly tucked in and tapered, creating a silhouette with a gentle curve reminiscent of the roundness of an egg.
The deep back slit at the hem has a button that can be unbuttoned to allow for greater freedom of movement.

Before you purchase

* This product is also carried in the stores, so it may occasionally be sold out at the time of your order through the website. Unfortunately if that the product is out of stock after you placing the order, we will contact you. We appreciate your understanding.

* Hand-spun yarn is mainly made by women in the village using an efficient modern spinning wheel called an “Amber Charka.” When the yarn breaks, it is spun by hand, resulting in neps, which is a characteristic feature.

* Most of hand-spun and handwoven fabrics are produced in village huts, and as a result, threads or grass may occasionally be mixed in. Additionally, there may be uneven areas, wrinkles, or slight discoloration caused by thread breaks, as well as unavoidable minor stains. Please understand that these are characteristic features of those fabrics.

* Depending on the material, friction during use may cause pilling or fuzziness. Excessive friction or pressure can cause a fabric damage, so please avoid such a situation.

* This product is recommended for dry cleaning. Please consult with a cleaning store.
