Alex Crane's latest release, the 'Knit Kite Jacket,' is a testament to eco-conscious fashion. This versatile piece, made from 100% sustainable merino wool, merges the functionality of a French 'chore-coat' with the comfort of a sweater, offering a lightweight and stylish option for year-round wear.
The merino wool used in the jacket is sourced from family-run farms in Australia, spun into high-quality yarn in Italy, and knit in Madagascar, ensuring every step of the production process is sustainable and ethical. Known for its natural heat-regulating and moisture-wicking properties, merino wool offers unparalleled comfort, while being odor-resistant and renewable -- making this jacket as kind to the environment as it is to your wardrobe.
Finishing details like sustainable coconut buttons, made from repurposed husks, add another layer of eco-friendly design. The Knit Kite Jacket is available in three colors, blending style with a commitment to sustainability.
