Beige Ikat Shirt and Trouser Set
$299.00
Silk-cotton ikat shirt and trouser set in beige and rust · S–XXL or cut to measure
4 in stock
A soft beige ground with tan and rust figures, made up as a shirt-jacket and a matching pair of wide trousers. Worn together they read as a suit; worn apart, either piece carries an outfit on its own. The old listing called this a couple’s jacket — it is a two-piece set for one person.

How to wear it
Both pieces are cut from one length of cloth, so the pattern runs continuously when they are worn together — and each works perfectly well on its own with something plain. See the other ikat jackets and trousers, skirts and sets, or the cloth itself as ikat fabric by the metre.
How this ikat is made
The pattern is not printed on the cloth and it is not embroidered into it. Every thread of the warp is tied off in bundles and dyed, one colour at a time, before a single row is woven — a process called abrbandi, cloud-binding, for the soft feathered edge it leaves on every motif. The cloth is handwoven in Margilan in the Fergana Valley. The garment is then cut and sewn in our atelier in Tashkent.
Made to order in our Tashkent atelier and dispatched within 18–25 days, by Uzbekiston Pochtasi tracked airmail. Sizes S to XXL; if none of those is right, send your measurements through the contact page and the piece is cut to them at no extra cost.
