The Ajasa Vest is a unique waistcoat, fancy enough to dress up in but less fussy than the traditional form. Its notched lapel and four pockets are a testament to that juxtaposition. Made in a cotton twill, it features the Galactic Stem print, an update on a Post-Imperial signature pattern. It closely resembles flowery imagery but also hearkens back to galactic elements like the sun, the moon, and the stars. The print is made using a carefully hand drawn cassava paste resist, applied by skilled artisans and dyed in indigo by master dyers at Kofar Mata, one of West Africa's oldest and most celebrated dyeing traditions. Pair with the Ajasa Blazer for a formal event, or wear it casually with the Ajasa Long Sleeve Shirt for those lounge lizard moments. Features: - Tailored fit through the chest and waist - Notched lapel - Horned button placket - Two chest welt pockets and two front waist welt pockets - Knotted bow strap - Fully lined - Galactic Stem print - 100% cotton twill - Hand-dyed and made in Nigeria This item is crafted with natural indigo, as a result, a slight color run is expected. Due to its handmade nature, each product is unique and therefore may vary slightly. Crafted from local rain-fed Funtua cotton, grown in the fields of Katsina, Northern Nigeria
