1. #TessutiTorino - the perfect, longline layering piece.

2. #TessutiBerlin - part jacket, part cardigan, full cozy.

3. #TessutiBrooklyn - an oversized essential.

4. #TessutiLondon - go two tone or one tone, and a hood! 

5. #TessutiSydney - our OG boiled wool pattern, and still a layering favourite.

6. #TessutiVerona - cropped, boxy, quick & easy.

7. #TessutiAmara - our favourite layering vest.

8. #TessutiKyoto - this vest is just one pattern piece with two length options.

9. #TessutiLyon - a classic collarless jacket that can be worn open or closed
 

Things we love about boiled wool patterns:

- quick sewing
- raw edges
- no hemming
- overlapped seams
- gorgeous texture
- sooooooo toasty

Silva’s #MeMadeMay2025 (shared in stories) yeste Silva’s #MeMadeMay2025 (shared in stories) yesterday received a LOT of love so we thought we’d give it a permanent spot on the grid. She made this Silhouette Patterns ‘Fifth Avenue Cape’ a number of years ago and it’s awesome. As far as we can tell, the company doesn’t have an Instagram page but you can find them at www.silhouettepatterns.com 

The fabric Silva used is a trench-like cotton/nylon blend from a few seasons ago, and she suggests using something with body and a bit of structure for best results. You could try our Pioggia water resistant range for something similar - 🔗 in bio. 

Pants are self drafted.
