Story Handmade jacket using a traditional weaving method Practiced by the Meghwal community in Rajasthan, the PATTU weaving technique is known for its bright tones and extra weft. It’s thoughtfully crafted on a horizontal pit loom to create the intricate designs that reflect Rajasthan’s colorful culture. And like all KARDO pieces, the Bodhi Handcrafted Trucker Jacket is made by hand, and we have the weavers’ names to prove it: Khemaram, Dinesh, Shankar Ram, and Kheta Ram.

The next one had a different name, and so did the one after that. That experience was our first glimpse into KARDO’s unique way of manufacturing clothes and working against fast-fashion, mass-produced trends. Each of their sturdy shirts, pants, and jackets is handmade from start to finish in New Delhi by a single tailor in an ethically-run workshop—all part of their belief that carefully made clothes are better clothes. If you know us, you know there’s no way we’re arguing with that. So we picked up some of our favorite pieces from KARDO’s workshop and plan on keeping them front-and-center in our wardrobes for years to come.
