Ajasa Vest

The Ajasa Vest is a unique waistcoat, fancy enough to dress up in but less fussy than the traditional form. Its notched lapel and four pockets are a testament to that juxtaposition. Made in a cotton twill, it features the Galactic Stem print, an update on a Post-Imperial signature pattern. It closely resembles flowery imagery but also hearkens back to galactic elements like the sun, the moon, and the stars. The print is made using a carefully hand-drawn cassava paste resist, applied by skilled artisans and dyed in indigo by master dyers at Kofar Mata, one of West Africa's oldest and most celebrated dyeing traditions. Pair with the Ajasa Blazer for a formal event, or casually with the Ajasa Long Sleeve Shirt for more relaxed moments.
