Silk-cotton ikat waistcoat and palazzo set in beige and pale blue · S–XXL or cut to measure
4 in stock
Beige and taupe almonds with pale blue at the centre of each, made up as a sleeveless buttoned waistcoat and matching palazzo trousers. The blue reads as a third colour but it is where two dye baths overlapped on the same threads — the cheapest colour in an ikat is always the one you get for free.

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.
