JackFruit Waistcoat
This is our JackFruit Waistcoat. It is a fruity fashion garment, custom designed to spice up any party outfit. Wear it with any of your existing clothes to add instant colour and fun to the mix. It is fully reversible with complimentary coloured lining and pattern fabric detail for when you want to tone it down a notch.
It teams perfectly with our matching ‘Papaya Pants’ or ‘Mango Loungers’, also available in our Etsy Shop.
It is made of a Rayon based Moss Crepe material on the outside, which has a flowing silk like feel whilst remaining opaque. The lining is lightweight cotton and the toggles are natural wood. There are suit style pockets on the outside and flat, patterned pockets on the inside.
They come in (M/L) and (S/M) sizes:
The small sized waistcoat is 94 cm around the chest (37 inches), and is 56 cm top to bottom at the front, and 50 cm top to bottom at the back. They are designed for women or small to medium men.
The M/L size 106 cm all the way round - so 42 inches, and 57 cm top to bottom at the front and 54cm top to bottom at the back.
£1 from every sale goes directly to The One Love Project.
Due to the delicate nature of this fabric, this item should be hand-washed only.
About JackFruit:
We are JackFruit- a Bristol based clothing line that is directly inspired by this wonderful city we call home.
Bristol is a place where country meets city. Where urban hipster meets rural hippy and where the Caribbean beach has been merged with our multi-coloured, paint spattered streets, giving rise to that unique beat that pounds through our pavements. Bristol is a bubbling hot pot of culture and style.
JackFruit was born as a response to these fusions. We wanted to create clothes that were suitable both for rolling around in a festival field, as well as strolling down a city street. We wanted to take the more traditional hippy items and inject both a tropical and an urban streak into their seams.
And so we headed to a small town in Northern India, where we were lucky enough to collaborate with Hannuman and his team in their small, independent clothing factory. We spent time perfecting our designs with the help of their highly skilled tailors, until we felt that JackFruit Clothing’s first range had been manifested.
When trading with this wonderful team it was a primary concern of ours to make sure all parties were happy with the exchange. We now want to do the same with you. Hence we have priced our products fairly, so that these funky, fresh items are easily affordable.
For us here at JackFruit, style is all about spreading joy through your clothes – looking good to feel good, to spread the good vibes further. For this reason we wanted to use this fashion endeavour to facilitate as many smiles as possible and to give back to the community where we source our clothes. We have therefore decided to donate £1 of every sale to The One Love Project - a UK run charity that provides a safe, creative space for the street children of Pushkar.
