Metis fabric from recycled cotton and eco linen

Metis, which means ”mix”, is a very old type of fabric weaved from both cotton and linen. It’s lighter than pure linen fabrics and more durable, making it perfect for workwear.

Linen is the only plant textile fiber originating in France. It doesn’t require irrigation and needs only rain water to grown. The un-dyed organic linen in this jacket is grown in France and the cotton is 100% re-cycled and dyed dark blue with eco indigo.

Made in France

The 50/50 linen-cotton fabric is weaved by Atelier Metis, a new generation of French weavers who work with old, restored looms and in small series. The recycled and eco-dyed cotton is made in Alsace.

The Cap is sewn by Le Laboureur, one of the last continually operational workwear makers in France.
