Doromole Mud Dye Process:

Each jacket is slightly different due to the traditional mud-dyeing process, resulting in a unique and beautifully developed patina.

Mud dyeing is a meticulous and time-consuming craft. The base fabric is first soaked in a natural mordant made from plant seeds, helping the dye bind to the fabric and resist fading. Mud is then applied by hand to one side of the fabric, and the material is laid out to dry in the sun.

Initially grey in tone, the fabric is stored indoors where the color slowly evolves into rich warm brown and rust hues over a period of approximately six months. Once the dye has fully set, the fabric is washed and sun-dried again.

Mud-dyed fabric can be gently hand-washed in cold water using mild detergent, with minimal color loss.
