The Maxence Jacket
The Maxence jacket is crafted in Florence, Italy, from hand-woven hemp fabric, destined to a bride dowry and sourced from fibers that are over a century old. The hemp is spun from plants that were cultivated in traditional, farming practices, ensuring a fabric that is rich in character. The hemp fibers have been woven on ancient looms, using a technique that dates back hundreds of years, resulting in a distinct tight weave that offers exceptional strength and durability ensuring both breathability and timeless quality. Hemp's natural texture provides a grainy feel to the fabric, giving it a rustic yet refined and classy appearance. The weight is approximately 300-350 gsm (grams per square meter), a medium-weight fabric that is substantial yet flexible, ideal for outerwear, making it breathable for warmer climates, but dense enough to provide a sense of warmth and protection. The cut: The jacket has a relaxed fit typical of safari styles, allowing for comfort and mobility. It features a mid-thigh length, tailored to provide a sense of structure but with room for layering.
Maxence is designed for the adventurous spirit yet refined for a more elegant occasion. The fabric, though aged, is incredibly strong and resistant, a reflection of the enduring quality of the hemp fibers and the artistry of the weavers. It feels solid in the hands, a garment built not only to last, but to tell a tale of heritage, history, and the passage of time through the dunes of the Sahara the markets of the Medina and the waters of the Mediterranean sea.
