Our jacket is made from an organic cotton ikat weave crafted in India. Shaped to a boxy fit, the jacket is lightly padded with relaxed sleeves and dropped shoulders. Fastened with corozo buttons and finished with patch pockets.
The cotton yarns are carefully bound and dyed to create the pattern, then hand-woven to create a soft fabric. The weavers work under master artisan Bikshapati Kolaan in the village of Yellanki in Andhra Pradesh. Part of our Menswear collection.

Handwoven Ikat | The Process
To create the ikat fabric used in this piece, weavers work under master artisan Bikshapati Kolaan in the village of Yellanki in Andhra Pradesh, south-east India. Following the path of his father, he has been weaving for over 40 years and now passes down his expertise to his son. As the owner of GO Sujathaa Handlooms (formerly Shri Surya Handlooms), Bikshapati trains local people in the art of handweaving. He has been creating ikat fabrics for TOAST alongside them since 2019.
The cotton yarns are carefully bound together before being dipped in dye – the areas which are tightly wrapped are protected from the colour, creating unique patterns. Then, the dyed yarn is woven on traditional handlooms. This process puts less pressure on the fibres than mechanised processes, resulting in a soft fabric.
Handmade in Andhra Pradesh
Ikat weaving is a time-honored technique, with roots in India’s history of traditional craft. The process starts before the loom - cotton yarns are tightly bound in sections before being dyed, preventing certain areas from absorbing colour. The bindings are adjusted, and the yarns dyed again, building up layered patterns. Once the bindings are removed, the yarns are handwoven into cloth, creating ikat’s signature hazy design.
In the village of Yellanki, Andhra Pradesh, master weaver Bikshapati Kolaan leads the group of artisans that weave our seasonal ikat fabrics. Meanwhile, our one-of-a-kind ikat jackets are kantha-stitched and sewn together by women from two Fair Trade cooperatives in India. Each piece is made using traditional techniques, passed down through generations.
Cotton Care Guide
Cotton is a comfortable, breathable, and easy-care fibre that holds dye well, making it an ideal canvas for vibrant colours and prints. Sourced from the cotton plant's seed pods, its natural and biodegradable properties make it gentler on the environment than other materials. Cotton can be transformed into a range of durable fabrics, including denim, poplin, and twill.
- Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours.
- Wash only when necessary to preserve shape, colour, and quality.
- Reshape while damp by holding the seams and gently shaking the fabric out.
- Dry flat or hang to reduce creasing.
- If needed, iron while damp or use steam.
- Store away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
