SISSEL EDELBO | Twiggy Jacket in - Hand-Embroidered Corduroy Sand
The Twiggy Jacket in Sand arrives as a quiet subversion of the utility jacket—a piece that trades ruggedness for romance without losing its structural nerve. Its defining feature is the hand-applied flower embroidery that trails across the corduroy surface, a delicate intervention that transforms a workwear staple into something closer to an heirloom. The flowers are not printed, not machine-stitched: each one is placed by hand, giving the jacket a subtle irregularity that feels deeply personal. This is not a jacket that announces itself; it rewards the second glance. The fabric is the story. SISSEL EDELBO has constructed this jacket from leftover corduroy—deadstock fabric sourced from markets and supplier stockrooms—giving it a weight and hand that feels both substantial and worn-in from the first wear. The wales are fine enough to read as texture rather than pattern, catching light in a way that shifts with movement. Because the corduroy is reclaimed, each piece carries the quiet distinction of being a limited edition; no two production runs will feel exactly alike. The sand tone is neutral without being flat, a warm beige that sits easily against both stark white and deep navy. The silhouette is deliberately casual: a small shirt collar frames the neckline without stiffness, and the front placket closes with buttons that feel substantial in the hand. Two patch pockets sit low at the body, anchoring the jacket’s relaxed proportions. The cut is not oversized, not fitted, but something in between—a shape that skims the torso and allows for layering without bulk. The long sleeves end at the wrist with a clean finish, and the overall construction favors ease over structure. This is a jacket designed to be lived in, not posed in. Movement is where the Twiggy Jacket reveals its ease. The corduroy drapes with a soft weight that follows the body rather than fighting it; there is no stiff interlining, no aggressive shoulder shaping. It moves like a cardigan but reads like a jacket. Seasonally, it lands in that liminal space between autumn and spring—worn open over a fine-gauge knit when the air is crisp, or buttoned over a silk slip dress for an evening that starts cool and warms. It will sit just as comfortably over a cotton poplin shirt and tailored trousers as it will over a linen dress. The embroidery prevents it from feeling too utilitarian; the corduroy prevents it from feeling too precious. Style it as a third piece that does the work of a top layer without the heft. Let it break up a monochrome look—cream trousers, a white tank, the sand jacket unbuttoned. Or lean into its quiet eccentricity with a printed midi skirt and leather boots. The Twiggy Jacket asks for nothing more than to be worn, often, and without overthinking.
