The Cherub Study - Jacket

Military Jacket An archival study in structure, memory, and light. The Cherub Study Military Jacket transforms forgotten archival imagery into a collectible wearable artwork. Created using the historic cyanotype process and naturally toned with madder root, the piece features layered cherub motifs, ornamental flourishes, and aged textile-inspired imagery that emerge organically through light exposure and botanical dyeing. The silhouette draws inspiration from historical military uniforms, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens with a cropped structure, dramatic sleeves, and antique brass hardware. Each jacket undergoes a slow artisanal process that ensures no two pieces are ever identical. Variations in tone, print density, and botanical development become part of the garment’s story. This is not a reproduction of history. It is a preservation of it. The Process Each jacket is individually created through: • Hand preparation of the denim surface • Application of archival cyanotype imagery • UV light exposure printing • Botanical toning using natural madder root • Slow washing and finishing techniques • Individual hand inspection Details Limited edition Military-inspired silhouette Cropped length Antique brass hardware Structured cotton denim Cyanotype archival artwork Naturally dyed with madder root Handmade in India Material 100% Cotton Denim Cyanotype Print Process Natural Madder Root Dye Care Hand wash separately in cold water Use mild detergent Dry in shade Iron inside out Natural evolution of color is part of the garment’s journey Edition Note Every Cherub Study Military Jacket is produced in limited quantities and exists as a singular artifact of light, time, and craftsmanship.
