The Hemp Navy Jacket is a slightly oversized, elegant garment thoughtfully crafted. It features a hand-spun composition from Vietnam with a natural indigo dye, which can vary depending on the number of dye dips, giving each jacket its own unique character. To maintain the natural hue, it is recommended to pair the jacket with darker colors to prevent color mixing. The jacket features a hidden inside button for closure, and although it is unlined, it includes hidden inner pockets made from cotton. The hand stitching provides a detailed finish. This is a unique piece that will elevate any outfit.
