Fabric + Care

Material: 100% Cotton Denim Body with Mixed Wool Blend Accent Panel
Texture: Soft, broken-in, mid-weight denim with a textured wool yoke.

To maintain the casual character, preserve the indigo shade, and protect the woven wool panel, follow these care guidelines:

Spot clean when possible to preserve the vintage denim character and reduce wash frequency. When a full refresh is needed, dry clean through a professional who handles mixed-fabric vintage garments.

We advise against machine wash or tumble dry. Heat and machine agitation may shrink the vintage wool panel and alter the shape of the denim.

Store hung on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to protect the fibers and keep the fit true.
