RAW SILK

Raw silk is an untreated silk fabric made from the shorter, less uniform fibers left over from the reeled silk production process.It has a nubby, slubby texture, a low sheen, and retains the sericin gum that is later removed to create smoother, shinier silks like satin.This makes it more similar in appearance and feel to some cottons and is often used for garments where its unique texture is desired.Characteristics of raw silk

• Texture: Nubby and slubby, with an uneven texture due to the shorter, less uniform fibers. 
• Sheen: It has a duller, low sheen compared to other refined silks. 
• Color: Naturally ranges from creamy white to soft beige or light gold, depending on the silkworm and its diet. 
• Composition: It retains the sericin gum, a natural substance that coats the silk fibers. 

Crafted from lightweight, superior quality raw silk fabric, this cropped blazer is a softer, easier take on tailoring. It’s fully unstructured, with dropped shoulders, a small notch lapel and a single-button front that sits at the waist. The boxy, cropped silhouette ends at the hip, and the wide sleeves finish with a button cuff. Wear it over a vest or tee with the matching wide-leg trousers for a relaxed suit, or on its own for an elevated everyday look.

• TECHNICAL FABRIC (Polyamide) | Technical garments can be machine washed to a maximum of 30°C. We recommend a cold wash with a short spin, or drip dry. You can also gently hand wash your item; rinse thoroughly and then drip dry on the washing line.
• COTTON POPLIN | Wash at 30°C using non-bio liquid, and wash the fabric before use as it is likely to shrink. Iron using the appropriate setting for cotton on your iron. Dry naturally or tumble dry on a low setting.
• COTTON LINEN BLEND | Cold wash using non-bio liquid, and wash the fabric before use as it is likely to shrink. Iron using the appropriate setting for cotton on your iron. Dry naturally or tumble dry on a low setting.
• COTTON SINGLE KNIT JERSEY (T-SHIRTS) | Single jersey knit / brushed fleece can be hand washed or machine washed at 30°C. Hand washing is always the best and safest method for jersey. For machine washing, turn the item inside out and place it in a mesh washing bag. Lay the item flat in its natural shape on a drying rack, hang to dry, or tumble dry on a low setting.
• 100% SILK AND SILK BLEND | Dry clean only is recommended, as silk has a tendency to shrink and become hard. Iron using the appropriate setting for silk on your iron. Dry naturally. No tumble drying.
• SOFT SATIN | Cold wash or dry clean (recommended) using non-bio liquid, and wash the fabric before use. Iron using the appropriate setting for silk on your iron. Dry naturally. No tumble drying.
• LEATHER | Can be polished with a neutral leather cream or wax to maintain the colour and prevent it from drying out.
• WOOL AND WOOL BLEND | Cold wash only. Turn wool clothes inside out and wash on the delicate cycle (or the wool or hand wash cycle, if your washer has these settings). Use cold water and a mild liquid detergent, and add an extra rinse to the wash cycle. To avoid shrinking, don't put wool clothing in the dryer. No tumble drying and no warm water.
• COTTON TWILL | For best care, we recommend a cold gentle machine wash with like colours at 40°C using a quality laundry liquid or powder. Wash inside out to protect the print. Do not soak, wring, rub, bleach or tumble dry. Dry flat or on a hanger. Warm iron on the reverse side.
