TERAS : vintage euro work jacket

colour : indigo
fabric : vintage cotton

care :
This piece showcases the ancient traditions of indigo dying and sashiko mending. To preserve this item be mindful of its modern and historic hand-stitching, in time adding your own mends and stitches with care as needed.

Authentic, plant-derived indigo dyes give this piece its rich and lively colour; unevenness and complexity are part of its natural character. Unlike synthetic dye, you can expect some indigo to transfer to lighter surfaces (even your skin) so take care during the first 5 washes, even though this fabric has not been dyed recently!

Air this piece between wears, keep out of direct sunlight and only wash in cold water by itself. Never spot clean, and iron the reverse with a cool iron (if you wish).
