This jacket was made by a disabled tailor named ___ from the the Tibetan town of Drango in the Garze Tibetan Autonomous Region in the west of Sichuan province, China. The main woolen fabric was spun, woven and washed by a retired herdswoman using the wool collected from her own sheep. It was woven on a simple wooden loom. The edging – a coarse woolen fabric called ‘chuk’ – is imported from central Tibet and features auspicious symbols and patterns.
