The atelier
One atelier.
Four stages.
01
Yarn
Long-staple cotton, ring-spun in Guimarães. Heavier and smoother than standard fleece, chosen so the fabric drapes instead of standing away from the body.
02
Knit
500 GSM loopback fleece knitted slowly on vintage circular machines. Slower knitting means denser loops, which means the shape survives the wash.
03
Dye
Garment dyed after construction for depth and a lived-in hand. Low-impact dyes, closed-loop water, no optical brighteners.
04
Finish
Emblem embroidered in real gold thread, single operator, 40 pieces a day. Every run stops at 200 pieces per colourway.
