Sid Mashburn
Ghost Blazer Moss Matka
Matka cloth is a super-special fabric woven from broken silkworm cocoons. When the silkworms emerge, they leave behind nubby, slubby silk fibers, which are then spun into a coarse yarn with a slight luster and the most amazing texture. This particular matka comes from Italy and combines silk, linen, and cotton — an all-star trio of natural fibers — for a cloth that is lightweight, durable, breathable, and incredibly beautiful. It makes a great warm-weather jacket. It makes for a very textured riff on the simplest tailored piece we got. It’s totally unconstructed and stripped down — like a more dressed-up Butcher, if you're keeping score at home — with no lining, no darts, pickstitched spalla camicia shirtsleeve construction, and these crazy, almost Surrealist-feeling buttons made of unlacquered brass. And per Sid, you can dress the Ghost as far up or down as you want: “The most elegant man in the world could wear it and a guy in a t-shirt could wear it.”
