These sweaters are made from start to finish by Emilia, Yanina, and Andrea in rural Jujuy, Argentina. Many communities in Northwestern Argentina live off of their artisan craft, and the families in Barrancas are no exception.

They invited us to their town in the middle of the desert to show us how they make knitwear from scratch, shearing the llama, washing the wool, spinning it into yarn, dying the yarn with natural pigments, and finally knitting them by hand. This particular sweater's features:

  •  100% natural, undyed llama wool body with naturally dyed green collar and cuff.
  • Hand-embroidered wool skier. 
  • Knit 100% by hand.
  • Soft and breathable and great for mild winters or layering.

Amazing investment

Dressing in modern day can be tricky. I want to have something that is good quality (and usually it’s a shot in the dark because I don’t know a ton about, something unique that I won’t see people also be wearing so I’ll stand out and a company with a good morale compass always helps the sting of dropping a bit of money. I like to think I found this with this jacket, the detail with the leather and the handmade pockets makes this jacket standout. I always get a compliment on it when I go out. I like to think of it as a shacket, light weight so I can wear standalone with a shirt in Spring/Summer, but also a hoodie in late Fall/Winter and make heavy hoodies look more fashionable. I enjoy the fact that it’s not a large corporation, because I see they pay their producers in Argentina a fair wage and also the fact that not many people in my area have heard of Fields Outfitting. Genuinely extremely happy with this purchase!
