Belafonte Ragtime Clothing, Doromole Hunter JKT, Doro Brown

Hunting inspired jacket packed with wellmade details.
The jacket is made in mud dyed 100% cotton twill featuring hidden inside pocket, stash back pocket and changeable buttons 

Each piece is slightly different because of the mud dye process of the fabric.
Very unique and beautiful patina. 

Mud dyeing is a fascinating process. The base fabric is initially soaked in a natural mordant made from plant seeds which helps fix the dye to the fabric and prevent fading. The mud is then applied by hand to one side of the fabric and the fabric is laid out to dry in the sun.

At first the mud is grey but the fabric is then stored inside and over time the color develops into this warm brown and rust colour.
It takes 6 months in storage to fix the dye and to achieve this deep colour, after which the fabric is washed and sun dried once again.

Mud cloth can be hand washed in cold water and mild detergent without much colour loss.
