These silk jackets match fine silk crepe with hand-painted silk satin. But did you ever wonder what crepe and satin are? Crepe is made by over-twisting the thread until it begins to curl, and then weaving fabric with it. Satin is a weave in which the thread floats along the surface before going under again, making one side glossy. These two kinds of silk come together perfectly in the Dolman Cardigan.
