Indigo Workwear Jacket - Original blue
£245.00
INDIGO WORKWEAR JACKET
A timeless workwear-inspired jacket, individually hand dyed using natural indigo.
Each piece is slowly dyed by hand in my Devon studio using traditional indigo vat methods, with colour built through repeated immersions and oxidation cycles to create the rich, layered blues unique to natural indigo.
Crafted from durable organic cotton and stitched with organic cotton thread, the jacket is designed as a practical everyday layer that celebrates traditional craft, natural colour and thoughtful making.
Inspired by classic utility jackets, it features a relaxed cropped silhouette, three-quarter length sleeves, a traditional collar and generous front patch pockets. The loose one-size fit layers beautifully over dresses, knitwear, shirts and simple everyday clothing.
Developed slowly over many months, this collection reflects an ongoing process of refining the pattern, fit, fabric and dye technique to create a garment designed to be worn, repaired and treasured for years.

THE COLOUR
Indigo is one of the world's oldest and most revered dye plants.
Across cultures and centuries it has coloured cloth for work, ceremony and daily life. Unlike synthetic dyes, natural indigo is created through the living alchemy of fermentation, oxygen and time. With each immersion into the vat, the cloth emerges green before gradually transforming to blue as it meets the air.
This slow process creates a remarkable depth and luminosity that cannot be replicated industrially. Every jacket carries its own subtle shifts in tone and character, making each piece entirely unique.
✦
CARE
Wash only when needed.
Cool hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
Dry naturally.
Like all naturally dyed textiles, the colour will continue to soften and develop character over time, becoming part of the story of both the garment and its wearer.
✦
PLEASE NOTE
Every jacket is individually hand dyed, and the jacket you receive is the exact piece shown in the photographs.
Subtle variations in tone, depth of colour and natural markings are an inherent part of the dyeing process and are celebrated as part of the beauty and individuality of each garment.
