CALAMITY Knit Jacket in Merino Wool - Beige

Inspired by oversized denim shirts, we've created this cardigan jacket with a resolutely authentic, practical, and functional style. Its vintage grand collar can be raised during chilly weather, and the shirt-style sleeves give it a distinct cowboy flair. Knitted on our new gauge 3 machine, CALAMITY boasts a thick and sumptuous stitch paired with a straight cut that's comfortable to wear, allowing for freedom of movement. The dense and tight knit offers warmth, comfort, high quality, robustness, and durability. A warm, timeless piece of exceptional quality that you'll want to wear, wear again, and pass on.

Style Note: Perfect for wrapping yourself up when taking a stroll in the forest or by the sea. Wear it as a jacket or as an outer layer over jeans and boots.

Caring for merino wool is easy !

• Wash : on the wool cycle of your washing machine inside a wash bag or by hand in cold water. Either way, use very little detergent, do not rub or twist the yarn. 
• Dry : remove excess water, reshape your knit and lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight and never in a tumble dryer. 
• Care : remove any wrinkles using steam or a low-heat iron on the wool setting, avoiding the seams. Use a wool comb or fabric shaver to gently remove piling that may appear after a few wears. 
• Store : Keep your knits folded rather than hung on hangers to avoid stretching them down. Palace natural moth repellents in your wardrobe for safekeeping.

Investing in a sustainable knitwear item from L'Envers provides significant long-term value compared to fast-fashion alternatives. While fast-fashion pieces may be cheaper initially, they often require frequent replacements due to poor quality. L'Envers items, crafted from high-quality, eco-friendly materials like mulesing-free wool and organic cotton, are designed to last for years, thus reducing their cost per wear and their environmental impact.
At L'Envers, we focus on sustainable practices by knitting on demand in a family-run atelier in Spain, ensuring fair wages and avoiding overproduction. Our durable items offer more wears over time than their fast-fashion alternatives. Additionally, the way you care for your clothes plays a big role in their longevity. You can find extensive advice on garment care on our website. While very durable, our pieces are not eternal and their natural materials will eventually show signs of time. We believe this adds a je-ne-sais-quoi and is something to celebrate. Eventually, at the end of their lifespan, L'Envers pieces can be repurposed or recycled, leaving no lasting pollution. This makes our timeless knitwear a cost-efficient and eco-friendly investment. Join us in the slow fashion revolution.

We ship worldwide, and you’ll receive tracking information via email once your order leaves our workshop in Spain. Shipping options for your delivery address will be displayed at checkout.

MADE-TO-ORDER : To avoid overproduction and minimize waste, we knit every item after the order is placed. This means the total lead time includes our production timeframe, specified at the top of the page, plus delivery times (typically 5 to 7 working days, depending on the destination and shipping method chosen at checkout).
