Patch Pocket Overshirt (Men)
A rugged, unisex overshirt in densely woven 100% yak wool, based on an original design from Norlha Atelier. With patch pockets on the chest and deep welt pockets at the sides, it offers practical, everyday comfort and will soften over time, gradually becoming like a second skin.

- Composition: 100% yak khullu
- Base colour: Natural Yak Grey Base
- Care: Eco dry clean only.
- Provenance: Handwoven at Norlha Atelier on the Tibetan Plateau using yak khullu sourced from local nomad cooperatives.
- Base colour: Yaks typically have a dark brown coat, but they can also be found in grey and, very rarely, in golden brown and white. Our artisans work with all four yak wool shades, which are either left in their natural state, combined to create different tones, or dyed.
- Yak khullu: This overshirt was made using the khullu of 9 yak. Khullu is the ultra-fine, downy undercoat that keeps yak insulated during harsh Tibetan winters. Each summer, the yak naturally shed this down, which is then carefully collected by hand.
- Technique: Handwoven and Handsewn
- Artisans & Processes: A team of 17 artisans handmade this piece at Norlha Atelier. During its production, it went through 15 highly specialised processes.
- Shipping: All orders are packed with care and shipped from our atelier on the Tibetan Plateau.
