Orkney Knit - Aretha Stripe Jacket - Burgundy/Shingle/Blackthorn

How delighted we are to offer you these quirky, fun, home-made knits from the wild and windy Orkney Islands off the top of mainland Scotland. This cottage industry is based around a small team of knitters who make the garments in their own homes using a naturally dyed, raw silk and lamb's wool blended yarn. Each piece has to travel (by boat) to each of the three knitters to be finished and then once finished they make their way to us. We are very privileged to offer these to you, we are their only international stockist.

This 3/4 sleeve jacket is ideal for an extra layer and is perfect all year round. One size fits all - it is a relaxed jacket, with a dropped shoulder and is a boxy style. It has a striped panel at the front with a plain slit pocket, contrasting cuffs and inner back hem. The back panel is slightly longer than the front.

There are double shell buttons, that have been hand dyed to match the two yarn colours, down the front.  These jackets are very special, displaying attention to detail and are long lasting and they do not pill.

These pieces exhibit everything that Berrima's Overflow loves - natural, creative, sustainable, colourful, happy, long lasting, real clothing! The slowest fashion we can find!
