Ivy is inspired by classic outerwear and the elegant details of vintage wool jackets, reimagined with a modern, modular twist. Its relaxed, unlined structure offers easy layering and everyday comfort, while thoughtful details—like bound edges, toggle closures, and a detachable scarf-collar—bring a sense of craftsmanship and versatility. Designed to be both wearable and distinct, Ivy blends timeless style with creative construction for a piece that feels effortlessly special.
Ivy is a relaxed, unlined jacket with a straight cut and dropped shoulders for a comfortable, easy fit. All edges are finished with double-fold self bias tape for a clean, tailored look without the bulk of a lining. The jacket features bound patch pockets, simple toggle closures, and a low-hip length that makes it ideal for layering. Its signature detail is the detachable scarf-collar, which buttons at the center back, allows you to switch between a minimalist, collar-less silhouette and a bundled-up, statement look.

Fabric and Fit
Fabric recommendations
Ivy shines in medium to heavyweight fabrics that offer structure and warmth. Coating fabrics such as boucle, boiled wool, wool flannel, tweed, and Melton are excellent choices, providing both drape and stability. Quilted wovens can add texture and insulation, while velvet lends a more luxurious, vintage-inspired look.
Since Ivy is unlined, consider fabrics with a comfortable wrong side. Choose a fabric with enough body to support the scarf-collar and maintain the jacket’s clean lines, but with flexibility for layering and ease of movement.
Selecting high-quality toggles can elevate the entire look—classic wood, horn, or leather-trim styles all pair beautifully with Ivy’s minimalist construction.

Since Ivy is unlined and features a relaxed, straight silhouette, selecting the appropriate size, blending sizes if necessary. Adequate ease will help maintain Ivy’s effortless look and easy style.
