Provenance

Fibre Source

This garment is woven from a blend of linen sourced entirely from European Flax-certified growers in France, Belgium and The Netherlands. No artificial irrigation or GMO has been involved with the production of this 100% vegetal fibre. Crop rotation, excellent break crop techniques and natural field retting has been used, as well as low amounts of fertiliser and pesticides. Fibre extraction (scutching) is 100% mechanical and the entire plant has been used (zero waste), including fibre, shive and seed. A verified fibre, the flax used in this fibre is 100% traceable from farm to textile mill.

Weaving

M.J. Bale's partner textile mill, Tessuti di Sondrio, in Italy's Lombardy region, has woven this garment's impeccable cloth. Tessuti di Sondrio have been weaving in the town of Sondrio, a UNESCO heritage site nestled in the heart of the Italian Alps, since 1895. Certified as a Masters of Linen, Tessuti di Sondrio weave some of the world's most premium cloth according to the strictest environmental, social and economic governance standards in Italy. They are certified ISO 14001 and SA 8000 Tessuti di Sondrio's linen-cotton fibre for M.J. Bale is sourced from European Flax-certified and organic cotton growers only (see FIBRE SOURCE)

Performance

Construction

While the term might sound like a misnomer, M.J. Bale's 'decon' technique, used in the construction of some of our jackets, is actually what it says it is: a method of tailoring to construct a garment in the most unstructured, soft and lightweight way possible. It is a sartorial technique commonly associated with Neapolitan tailoring. It means the jackets are crafted with minimal padding and internal construction, allowing the fabric to drape naturally over the body. This creates a softer, more fluid silhouette that follows the contours of the wearer without excessive stiffness or structure. With Australia's spring-summer climate mostly mirroring that of Meditteranean summers, the decon technique also helps Australian men stay cool and unflustered while being sartorially stylish.
