SUSTAINABLE JACKETS

We love knit jackets for their versatility. They're the perfect mid-season outerwear: light enough to wear on their own when the weather turns, and easy to layer over a sweater, dress, or cardigan once winter sets in. Every jacket in our collection is knitted to order in our family-run workshops in Spain, from merino, mohair, or yak wool.

Why Choose a Sustainable Jacket?

A sustainable jacket isn't just an ethical choice — it's a practical one. Unlike synthetic outerwear built for a single season, a wool jacket is designed to be worn for years, adapting to your wardrobe rather than sitting at the back of your closet.

It replaces multiple pieces, working as mid-season outerwear and as a winter layering piece, which reduces the need for several separate coats. It's naturally temperature-regulating too: wool fibers adjust to your body heat, keeping you warm without ever feeling stifling, something we go into more detail on in our guide to how merino wool performs across seasons.

Like every L'Envers piece, our jackets are also made to order, knitted only once you place your order meaning no overproduction and no unsold stock going to waste. And because they're built to last, choosing a piece like this over fast-fashion outerwear is one of the simplest ways to reduce the environmental footprint of your wardrobe.

What Types of Sustainable Outerwear Do We Offer at L'Envers?

Our jacket collection is designed to cover every mid-season need, from polished layers to cozy, oversized silhouettes. High-neck styles, like our GEORGE jacket in merino-mohair wool, offer structure and warmth for cooler days, while lighter knit jackets are ideal for transitional weather when a heavy coat feels like too much. All of them are cut to layer comfortably over our sweaters and cardigans once temperatures drop.

A jacket is also the easiest way to complete an outfit, worn open over one of our organic cotton tops, draped over a wool dress for cooler evenings, or paired with our knit pants for a polished, seasonless look. It's an approach we explore further in our guide to building a sustainable capsule wardrobe.

What Are the Materials of Our Eco-Friendly Jackets?

Our jackets are knitted from three natural fibers, each selected for its warmth, durability, and lower environmental impact.

Merino wool is soft, breathable, and naturally temperature-regulating. Renewable and biodegradable, it's one of the most responsible fiber choices available, as we explain in our guide to caring for merino wool garments.

Mohair is prized for its lightweight warmth, natural sheen, and remarkable durability. Sourced from Angora goats raised with care, our mohair is spun in France following the same standards we detail in our complete guide to mohair.

Yak wool is exceptionally warm relative to its weight, and a more sustainable alternative to many conventional insulating fibers.

All three are sourced from mills in France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, letting us control every stage of manufacturing and ensure our materials remain non-toxic, cruelty-free, and kind to the planet.
