Description
One of two limited edition Yorkshire Shetland styles, this durable wool waistcoat has been cut from an exquisite Shetland tweed that has been lovingly designed, woven and finished in the Colne Valley on the outskirts of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
Characterised by a sophisticated melange of earthy tones within a subtle houndstooth pattern, each step of the fabrication process, starting with the spinning of the yarn from a carefully chosen blend of hardy wools, has been carried out separately by skilled craftsman specialising in traditional techniques that have long been at the heart of the Yorkshire textile industry.
Locally and sustainably made with a relaxed fit and classic Darzi detailing, the end result is quite literally a cut above the rest; the ultimate layering piece for all occasions.
Care
Pure wool has been used to make clothing for thousands of years and for good reason. Naturally it is thermally insulating, water and odour resistant, extremely hard wearing, breathable and biodegradable; a unique combination of characteristics which make it the perfect choice for high quality, sustainably sourced outerwear. Moreover, thanks to these natural characteristics, abrasive washing treatments are generally unnecessary.
For day to day care, store on a hanger where possible. If well used, or even a little abused, simply hanging out in cool, fresh air for a short time is often all that is needed to bring a wool garment back to its original shape and form.
In the case of light soiling and small mishaps, always try spot cleaning with a brush or a damp cloth in the first instance. In the case of major mishaps, we recommend dry cleaning as a last resort.
DO NOT tumble dry.
