CALAMITY Knit Jacket in Merino Wool - Ash Grey

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.

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.

MADE-TO-ORDER : To avoid overproduction and minimize waste, we knit every item after the order is placed.

We’re here to help! We understand it’s not always easy to buy clothing online, especially when ordering from a brand for the first time… We also have a customization service if you’d like a different color from the ones the product is shown in or if you need different dimensions such as body or sleeves length. This is the flexibility of knitting on demand!
