A jacket named after the French champêtre, “of the countryside”: refined and understated, like a bunch of wildflowers picked from a field. The fabric is COTTLE’s Gala Spinning Melody, a blend of silk with organic “fallen cotton,” the short fibres usually too short to spin. It’s spun on a Garabou machine, an early Meiji-era Japanese invention, to give a hand-spun texture. It’s dyed with pure indigo made the traditional way from indigo leaves and lye, using a special technique for an especially deep colour. Because it’s dyed by hand, the colour varies naturally and can pool. The cut is loose and relaxed, with cuffs made from the selvedge, a back placket, fringed detail, a hand-sewn pocket, and kintsugi and buffalo-horn buttons.
