Cotton ikat blazer in yellow and blue · short cut · S–XXL or cut to measure

Yellow flames outlined in blue on white, cut short with a notch lapel and three-quarter sleeves. Making a tailored lapel out of ikat is awkward work: the pattern has to be matched across the roll line or the join shows immediately at the collar.

How to wear it
Worn over a plain base — a shift, a shirt, a plain tee. A jacket is the least demanding way to wear ikat: it puts the pattern at the shoulder where it is seen and leaves the rest of the outfit alone. See the other ikat jackets, 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.
