Reversible Block-Printed Denim Jacket

Hand Block-Printed
Block printing is one of the oldest ways of putting pattern on cloth in South Asia. A drawing is transferred to a block of seasoned wood and carved by hand, so the pattern stands proud of the surface. Charged with dye and pressed down, the block leaves one repeat. Set side by side, impression after impression, the repeats become the cloth. Every piece is printed with natural dyes, and every block is carved by hand, so no two blocks are the same.

Hand-Embroidered Details
Kadhai is embroidery worked by hand. A design is traced onto the cloth as a khaka, the cloth is stretched taut on an adda or a hoop, and a karigar works it stitch by stitch in silk, cotton and metallic zari. The needle is guided by eye and by hand, so no two pieces carry quite the same line.
-
Handwoven
Handloom cloth is made by hand from end to end. Yarn is wound onto the warp beam of a pit loom, the khaddi, and woven one pick at a time: the weaver opens the shed with the treadles, throws the shuttle across and beats each row into place with the reed. The slubs and small shifts in tension stay in the cloth. That is the point.
Exclusively Available for Rastah Loyalty Members, Not Available to the General Public.Designed by Zain Ahmad
Cut in an oversized silhouette, this reversible jacket brings together two material treatments. The khaki side combines washed denim, block printing, and hand embroidery with a genuine-leather collar, shoulder panels, patch pockets, and cuffs. Hand-embroidered leather patches are finished with hand-applied fashion stitches. The reverse is constructed in red handwoven Ajrak with embroidered handwoven Khaddar patches and a screen-printed logo patch finished with hand-applied fashion stitches. The piece recognises the customers and collaborators who form the Rastah gang.
