The Hill Jacket in Brown
A couple of weeks ago an experiment arrived back from the factory: the Hill Jacket in brown shu, with brown horn buttons and a dark green moleskin collar lining.
Shu comes in shades of grey, from almost white to almost black. The grades are achieved by mixing darker and lighter wool. The kailey sheep which produces the wool used for shu doesn't come in brown, so walnuts soaked in water are used to achieve a quite unusual range of redy, beigey browny hues. Shu is not dyed into any other colours.
I think the experiment was a success!
