A wolf at the start of the Mongol lineBlue and wolves have been linked for a very long time. The Secret History of the Mongols opens with Borte Chono, the blue grey wolf, who crosses the water with his mate the fallow doe, and the line descends from them. The Mongolian word behind it covers both the blue of winter light and the grey of a winter coat, which is roughly the shade this jacket is dyed. The idea runs deeper in wolf totem animal.Fewer colours, sharper edgesThe wolf head here is built from a short palette rather than a full spectrum, and that is a printing decision as much as an artistic one. Fewer tones mean fewer boundaries to line up, so every edge stays crisp on a surface that moves and stretches as you wear it. Poster designers and flag makers worked this out long ago. Restrict the colours and the shape carries at a distance, which is exactly what a wolf head needs to do. Here that head sits solid black across the upper back, jaws open on a snarl, the mouth and tongue red and the eyes a hard amber yellow against the blue.Wearing it and choosing a sizeA hooded zip up jacket, thick and cosy, with organic cotton on the inside and polyester on the outside, and the exterior zip reinforced. Wash it at 30 degrees. The cut runs small for its labelling, so pick one size larger than you usually wear, and the apparel sizing guide gives the exact numbers. The rest of the range sits in wolf jackets.Free worldwide shipping, 7 to 12 business days. 30 day returns. See our shipping policy for details.
