Indigo is a living blue: it does not penetrate the fibre deeply, it coats it. Every rub therefore takes away a fraction, and the piece personalises itself, at the elbows and then the forearms. That is what separates a living shade from a colour that is simply applied. We laid it on the knit of our Journeyman jacket, rather than on the usual cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% lambswool, knitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: knitted in Morocco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: living indigo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: first-clip lambswool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: progressive patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA patina slower than on jeans\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn wool, indigo patinates more slowly and more gently than on denim. The shade shows in the relief of the knit, in gradients rather than in sharp streaks. Worn with raw materials, jeans, thick cotton, unwaxed leather, the garment ages at the same pace as what surrounds it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnitted rather than woven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Journeyman takes the construction of our work jacket: straight button front, open collar, three patch pockets. It is knitted in Morocco, in 7-gauge, in a virgin lambswool from Switzerland, from the first clip, softer than adult \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.woolmark.com\/\"\u003ewool\u003c\/a\u003e. The result weighs one kilogram and sits between a chore coat and a cardigan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReinforcements you can't see\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chest pocket measures 11 × 11 cm, the two front pockets 16 × 16 cm: a notebook, a tool or your hands find their place there. The collar and cuffs are made in double thickness to protect the most stressed areas, and a selvedge turned in the old way finishes the hem. These reinforcements don't show on the first day; you notice them after three winters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCut and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClose cut, with about 4 cm (1.6 in) of ease around the chest, which doesn't restrict movement. From S to XXL, half chest runs from 50 to 58 cm, front length from 66 to 70 cm and sleeve from 61 to 65 cm. Take your usual size, or one size up to wear it over a thick shirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wear an indigo wool jacket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndigo calls for raw materials: \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/jeans-selvedge-berto-13oz\"\u003eselvedge jeans\u003c\/a\u003e, a thick cotton shirt, a white T-shirt.
