Panelled-Pocket Pant — Wool/Hemp/Silk Twill

Our panelled-pocket pant is cut from a woven twill blend of wool, hemp, and silk from Lanificio Bottoli, an Italian woolen mill founded in 1861, that is part of its eco-friendly, undyed collection.

The fabric comes undyed and reads as a two-tone twill. The taupe wool yarns stand alone, whereas the hemp and silk yarns are twisted together to create a two-ply, off-white yarn. Once dyed with myrobalan and immersed in an iron solution, the various fibers create a complex charcoal palette.

Note that slight variations in color may occur among dye lots and are attendant to the natural dye process.
