”Introducing the next installment of one-off shackets. This piece is a bit closer to its jean-jacket cousins as it is made from a selection of heavy weight cottons. It also features a patchworked and handstitched back panel. It is sturdy and decorative; characteristic of Saturn Cottage Industries in general, really.” - Lisa
