Jacket Charcoal Cotton

Handwoven and naturally dyed charcoal lightweight cotton cloth jacket by Lily Forbes. Two interior and two exterior pockets for optimal organization (and perhaps a private pocket moment to tuck away a poem, a slice of gum, or a surprise harmonica). Fastened with high quality (shiny) aluminum buttons. The charcoal will fade into a lovely slate hue overtime. Unisex for all, for sharing.

The naturally dyed denim is handwoven by the Ali family (4 generations) outside of Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. Heritage weaving is an important part of the local economy and history, and sadly, is a dying craft. The Ali family weaves cloth specifically for LILY FORBES with fibers naturally dyed in a small, family-run, safe, clean facility in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. The cotton threads are dyed by third generation natural dyer, Mahesh.
