Colour block hemp jacket

Our colour block jacket is a gorgeous and bold addition to your wardrobe. Designed with fun and expression, it works really well in a capsule wardrobe by bringing each outfit to life. We make this jacket from an organic cotton and hemp twill and hand dye each pattern piece before sewing it together. The buttons are made from the natural Corozo nut, stained to match the colour blocking on the jacket. The jacket is designed with a simple closed cuff at the wrist and a collar stand at the neck for a sharp collar. The line across the jacket, splitting it into two colours follows seamlessly across both arms.

We hand make each colour block jacket in our workshop in Nottingham, England. Each item is made-to-order, minimising fabric wastage.

SUSTAINABLE

Organic cotton is more sustainable than regular cotton because the process is based on long-term thinking. Organic cotton farming does not use synthetic insecticides, fungicides or fertilisers. Healthy soil is instead maintained through crop rotation. This prevents the loss of nutrients into water bodies and avoids both water pollution and the need for artificial fertilisers. Organic cotton farming also uses significantly less water than ordinary cotton, whereby farmers rely mainly on rainwater. Find out more about organic farming at the Textile Exchange!

The buttons used on this jacket are made from the Corozo nut and so are a natural material.

The labels we use are made from recycled fabric that is OEKO-TEX standard 100 certified. We also package the product in recycled paper.

A great resource on sustainable fashion is the Fashion Revolution, including information on what to consider when choosing where and what to buy.

As a brand that value sustainability, we also strive to post informative content on sustainable matters on our Instagram account @fordandguy
