01
Full-fashioned shoulder
Panels are knitted to shape and linked by hand rather than cut and overlocked, so no yarn is severed at the shoulder and the funnel holds its roll.

Sahel Funnel Knit
Rolled funnel neckline
Bogolan's clay-dye tonality translated into yarn, so colour shifts across the body the way mud cloth ages — no motif printed on top.
One tonal band sits off-centre across the chest.
World cloth
- Scotland — Fine lambswool
- Peru — Baby alpaca blend
- Mali — Bogolan-dyed cotton yarn worked into the rib
Knitted in Hawick, yarn dyed in Bamako.
Tailoring notes
How it is built.
02
Facing-free funnel
The funnel is knitted as a continuous tube and turned; there is no facing, no seam and no tape at the neck.
03
Tonal band
Bogolan-dyed yarn is introduced mid-body off-centre, so the tonal shift lands across the chest asymmetrically and deepens with wear.
Construction: Full-fashioned shoulder · Rolled funnel with no facing · Side vents
Care
Keep it alive.
- Hand wash cold with wool detergent, or dry clean. Never tumble.
- Dry flat, reshaped by hand; hanging distorts the funnel.
- Rest the garment 24 hours between wears; heritage cloth recovers its own shape.
- Spot clean with cold water and a white cloth — never a coloured cloth on resist-dyed panels.
- De-pill with a comb, not a razor — alpaca fibre cuts short.
