wool dress jacket

One piece, two moods: dress it up, layer it over.

Woven from 100% pure wool on a traditional loom by the Betli community in the Himalayas, this piece is designed as both a dress and a jacket. Button it closed for a structured dress look, or wear it open as a warm outer layer. Warm, breathable, and timeless — it’s made to be worn across seasons, cities, and wardrobes.

The story behind the weave

We chose pure wool and handloom craft because real, long‑lasting clothes need time, care, and the hands that understand the material. In Betli, artisans weave slowly, panel by panel, honoring tradition rather than chasing fast fashion. Every dress‑jacket holds their skill, patience, and the quiet strength of a community that keeps craft alive.

This is not just clothing. It’s a collaboration: your wardrobe, their heritage. Made with 100% Humanity.

How to wear

• As a dress: buttoned and neat, for events, work, or evenings out
• As a jacket: open over tops, dresses, or trousers when you need extra warmth
• Layered: over knits, shirts, or under a heavier coat when winter deepens

Easy to style, easy to love. A piece that shifts with your day.

Why this piece matters

• Zero synthetic blends — just honest, pure wool
• Handwoven, community‑made, not factory‑made
• Supports artisan livelihoods and long‑term craft
• Designed beyond trends; meant to live in your closet for years

It’s slow clothing in a fast world — made to be worn, cherished, and passed on.

The Making of Cape Infinity

Every Cape Infinity begins its journey in the Himalayan region of India, where wool has long been part of daily life and traditional craft.

The process starts with collecting the wool and carefully cleaning it so that the fibres are ready to be worked with. The wool is then processed into yarn and dyed before the weaving preparation begins. Threads are carefully arranged on the loom in a process known as warping, which requires patience and precision before weaving can start.

Once the loom is prepared, skilled artisans begin weaving the fabric by hand. The wool is woven slowly and carefully into shawls, with close attention to the structure, tension, and softness of the cloth. Working with natural fibres and hand-operated looms means each piece carries small variations that make it unique.

After the shawls are woven, they are sent to our master tailor. Here the shawls are carefully shaped into Cape Infinity. Arm openings are created to allow the cape to be worn in different ways, giving it the versatility it is known for.

The capes are then washed, finished, and labelled before they are ready for their next journey.

From the Himalayan region they travel to our studio in Amsterdam, where they become part of the Fifth Origins collection before continuing on to the people who will wear them.

Each Cape Infinity carries the work of many hands, from the artisans who prepare the wool and weave the fabric to the tailors who carefully shape it into its final form.
