Our Ferghana shirt-jacket pays homage to the art of Uzbek ikat weaving still alive in the Ferghana valley, Uzbekistan.

Made of 100% silk ikat, the shirt-jacket has a boxy cut and comes with front facing patch pockets, side pocket , horn buttons on cuffs and centre for closure. Paired with our Ferghana shorts, it makes for a refined summer look.

In the ikat making process, the threads are meticulous marked according to pre-set patterns. The different sections are then tie-dyed according to precise patterns. According to the complexity of the pattern and the number of colours, the tie-dye process is repeated several times. The threads are then handwoven on a four or six-shaft treadle loom. The fabrics irregularities reflect the handmade nature of the entire process and are part of the textile’s beauty. Click here to find out more about how ikat is made.

The fabric is sourced directly from the Ferghana valley, Uzbekistan. The shirt-jacket is designed, hand-cut and made at a family-size workshop in the Veneto region, in Italy.
