Bikaner Silk-Cotton Blazer
Prowl the Indian street bazaars and you’re sure to come across matka, or hand-loomed raw silk. This is a rustic, textured version of the shimmering fabric we associate with nightgowns and bedsheets, and it adds casual character to a sport coat much as lightweight and crease resistant hopsack does. The blue yarns here have a slubbed quality that evokes denim or chambray, plus the elegance and drape of silk. A versatile piece for the clothing connoisseur and traveler, especially when he wants to stay cool in tropical heat. A three-button jacket that rolls to two. Fully lined, with patch-and-flap pockets. Classic fit. 70% noil silk, 30% cotton. Dry clean only. Imported.
