Russet Tunic in Mudcloth

The Russet Tunic is named for the heritage apple variety, found in old English orchards.  The

Russet Tunic has a deep V-neck with three corozo nut buttons. Sleeves are wrist length but easy to roll up. It has a broad collar backed with the inside of the exceptionally special Mudcloth. It is a stylish top made of dense, handloomed cotton - easy to belt or not, the ideal layer for the season. 

Herd’s S/S Collection deepens our connection to nature and its seasonal rhythms with the introduction of hand-loomed, plant-dyed cottons from Japan and India. Dyed, spun and woven in their country of origin these fabrics sit alongside our British wool and leather which represent centuries-old textile heritage, native materials in their natural ecosystems and multi-generational skills handed down family lines. Herd’s philosophy is to replenish and nourish the soil, landscape, animals and craftspeople we work with along the way. Our fabrics, grown from the soil and processed without toxic chemicals, can return gently to the soil - a ‘soil to soil’ system by which all our products are made.

S/S25 is named the Pomona Collection, for the goddess of fruit trees, gardens, and orchards. It is inspired by a life lived in the rhythms of the seasons.

Detail - The Russet Tunic has a V-neck with three buttons and wrist-length sleeves.
