Shangri-La Heritage 'Varenne' Wool Kilim Jacket - Desert Navajo

1 / 7

Field Notes

This short cut, boxy shaped jacket from Shangri-La offers a superb vintage silhouette, and draws influence from 1940’s American sports coats. This stand out iteration has been crafted from recycled kilim carded mixed wool from Prato, Italy, to best resemble authentic Navajo designs. The leather trimmings are made with vegetable tanned Lambskin and the lining is a rich "espresso" colour.

The brand have chosen to use custom manufactured antique brass hardware for added durability and have added an optional chin strap for extra protection in colder weather. The Varenne name acts as a tribute to the Italian horse, known for being ‘the best racer of all time!’.
