Mahout Shirt - Handwoven Kala Cotton - Natural

A classic men's pullover shirt with a Nehru collar, 4 button placket and full length sleeves. Front pocket and side slit details complete the look. 

Made with beautiful handwoven kala cotton cloth. Kala cotton is indigenous to the Kachchh region of India. It is highly sustainable and organic by nature, as farmers do not need to use any pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. All it needs to thrive is one monsoon a year. The final product is a desirable cotton with a natural fleck that softens with every wash.
