Quiet Season Hand-Knit Zip Jacket 〈L/GRAY〉

— Wool Cashmere Linen Knit —

A distinctive knit fabric made by twisting together yarn comprising 70% wool and 15% cashmere with linen yarn.

Its texture may seem unusual at first, but one of its defining features is its exceptionally long season of wear.

The warmth created by trapped air coexists with the dry feel of linen, making it suitable for wear from September through the rainy season. It is a material that gently blurs the boundaries between seasons.

It looks soft. But this Cowichan is surprisingly methodical.  We did not want to leave it at simply saying it was hand-knit.

Where to apply tension and where to ease it. We believed there was meaning in entrusting those decisions to human hands.

By shaping the garment in three dimensions as it is knitted, the shoulders settle naturally and the knit follows the movement of the arms.

It has some weight, but it is difficult to feel when worn. That is because air is held within the knit.

The front zipper pull is made of deerskin.

We have carefully refined the feel of a place touched every time the jacket is worn.

There are no flashy patterns or easily explained motifs. Yet the wearer's movements and habits become the garment's expression. It cannot become a mass-produced item.

That is precisely why we felt there was meaning in making this form now.
