Belafonte Ragtime Clothing Doromole 506j Buckle Back Jk Doro Bf 25 45

The popular signature Mud Dye/ Doromole pieces from Belafonte are back in stock! Each piece is slightly different because of the mud dye process of the fabric. Very unique and beautiful patina. Mud dyeing is a fascinating process. The base fabric is initially soaked in a natural mordant made from plant seeds which helps fix the dye to the fabric and prevent fading. The mud is then applied by hand to one side of the fabric and the fabric is laid out to dry in the sun. At first the mud is grey but the fabric is then stored inside and over time the color develops into this warm brown and rust colour. It takes 6 months in storage to fix the dye and to achieve this deep colour, after which the fabric is washed and sun dried once again. Expect incredible patina from this fabric when the mud fades (similar to indigo & denim) and the base color of the canvas shine through. This jacket is based in an iconic Type I jacket, featuring sincle chest pocket, volume pleats and large buckle back detail.
