Sissel Edelbo | My Jacket in - Organic Cotton Embroidery Burgundy
A jacket that reads as a manifesto, not a layer. Sissel Edelbo’s My Jacket in burgundy is a studied study in contrast: the quiet utility of a shirt-jacket silhouette meets the loud, joyful precision of hand-inspired embroidery. It opens with a clean, boxy line—a casual placket front, a small shirt collar, and long sleeves finished with cuffs. This is not a fitted piece; it breathes. The cut is generous, almost androgynous, designed to sit away from the body rather than cling to it. The proportion is the point: a relaxed shoulder and a straight hem that lands just below the hip, giving it the weight of a jacket without the stiffness of one. The fabric is a 100% organic cotton canvas—a dense, dry hand that softens with wear but never loses its architectural integrity. It has a tactile honesty: you feel the weave, the weight, the slight resistance of the cloth as it moves. Organic cotton here is not a buzzword but a material philosophy. Sissel Edelbo’s commitment to choosing better alternatives means this canvas is grown without chemical pesticides or fertilizers, limiting soil erosion and reducing environmental strain. The result is a fabric that feels both sturdy and considered, with a matte finish that absorbs the deep burgundy dye rather than reflecting it. Construction is clean and deliberate. The button front is straightforward, the cuffs are functional, the collar sits flat and unassuming. But the embroidery is where the jacket declares itself. Across the chest and back, contrast-colored thread spells “LOVE” in Hindi and renders a Hamsa hand—a universal symbol of protection, power, and strength. These embroideries are not afterthoughts; they are the narrative. Inspired by a love for India, they transform a simple shirt jacket into a wearable talisman. The stitching is dense, tactile, and slightly raised, catching light differently than the canvas beneath. Movement is easy, unforced. The jacket swings open or buttons closed, and the cotton canvas softens just enough to drape over a knit or a dress without fighting the silhouette. It is a piece for transitional weather—crisp spring mornings, cool autumn afternoons, layered over a silk slip or a heavy turtleneck. Style it with wide-leg trousers and leather sandals for a day of wandering, or throw it over a slip dress with ankle boots for an evening that asks for nothing more than presence. The burgundy is deep enough to read as a neutral, but rich enough to anchor any look. This is a jacket that carries its meaning on its sleeve—literally.
