Nila Coat - Handwoven Cotton - Light Indigo Ikat

A long open coat to be layered and loved. Deep square pockets worked into the seams at the hip make this jacket. The collar has extra fabric that slouches around the neck, flowing down to give the jacket great drape at the front. 

Made from rare cloth with cotton threads that were handspun, ikat tied, naturally indigo dyed and finally handwoven by village artisans in Bengal. The undulating white cross hatching is created by ikat; a complicated process demanding much patience, considerable design skill, and a good geometric imagination. The threads are tied off many times to create areas of resist, stopping the flow to indigo to a section of the warp & weft when dyeing. Once woven, it creates pattern in the cloth.
