Medlar Shirt in Cream Canvas

The Medlar Shirt is named for the ancient fruit and flowering shrub found in old English orchards, cultivated since Roman times. The Medlar Shirt is a long-ish shirt for breezy layering. Easy to belt or wear over a vest or swimsuit as the season ripens. 

Herd’s S/S Collection deepens our connection to nature and its seasonal rhythms with the introduction of hand-loomed, plant-dyed cottons from Japan and India. Dyed, spun and woven in their country of origin these fabrics sit alongside our British wool and leather which represent centuries-old textile heritage, native materials in their natural ecosystems and multi-generational skills handed down family lines. Herd’s philosophy is to replenish and nourish the soil, landscape, animals and craftspeople we work with along the way. Our fabrics, grown from the soil and processed without toxic chemicals, can return gently to the soil - a ‘soil to soil’ system by which all our products are made.

S/S25 is named the Pomona Collection, for the goddess of fruit trees, gardens, and orchards. It is inspired by a life lived outdoors in the rhythms of the seasons.
