Eithne Trench Coat in Ivory Silk Virgin Wool Slub

Traditional detailing is epitomized in soft silk wool slub bringing a sharp edge to the fore in the Eithne trench coat. A multi-inverted pleat detail plays with inserts that open into a dramatic sweep at the back, boasting sheer panel inserts: Epaulettes, cuff tabs, storm flaps and a self-tie belt further enhance the play of classic detail against an unexpected mix of fabrics.

Blended fibers take on properties of the joining counterparts to achieve uniquely desirable characteristics.

Wool is a renewable fiber; one sheep can produce 4-5 pounds of wool per year. Wool provides warmth by trapping heat, while simultaneously transporting moisture away from the body so skin stays dry and comfortable. It is naturally antimicrobial, so it resists odors and rarely needs washing. Its exceptional durability allows for long garment lifespan, and it can biodegrade when disposed into right soil conditions.

Silk is known for its luxurious drape, luster and ability to take rich color. It is the strongest natural fiber and has low density, creating light and comfortable fabric. Silk’s resilient elasticity maintains garment shape, and its smooth surface is resistant to attracting dirt. Silk keeps you cool in warm weather and provides insulating warmth in cool weather.

This family-owned mill was founded in 1733. They were the first in Italy to produce printed fabrics, and they continued to explore and innovate over the centuries. In 1913, one of the family members traveled to the Himalayas and learned of the supreme warmth of the fur from the underbelly of the cashmere goats, worn by local shepherds. He took this knowledge back to the mill, adding to the breadth of luxurious and warm fibers they produced. Today, the mill has a wastewater treatment plant and they recycle 20% of the treated manufacturing water. Their goal is to recycle 80% of the water in the future. They are capable of the following certifications: Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) - for some articles, Global Recycle Standard (GRS)- for some articles.

This garment was produced by a small Italian Factory located in Brescia, Italy.
