# Hand Loomed Monastic Robe

A master weaver spends 28 working days at the loom to produce a single five meter piece of pure Himalayan Pashmina cloth. Progress advances slowly as each thread is pulled tight to compress the weave to a density that a faster pace cannot produce. This tight weave is the construction decision that sets this robe apart.

The cloth this method produces is dense without being thick – warm without bulk, structured without stiffness, fine without being fragile. While at first glance a robe like any other, what Pashmina fiber in a tight weave produces is a cloth that holds its appearance, its warmth, its feel across years of daily use.

Two formats are available. The Full Size is the equivalent of two zhen joined at the shorter edge into a single five meter piece of cloth, worn folded at the midpoint to create two full layers of Pashmina across the body. The Half Size is one zhen, worn as a single layer.

Every robe is commissioned to order in Kashmir – hand-loomed, dyed to your tradition’s exact color specification, and independently certified 100% pure Himalayan Pashmina before it leaves the workshop. The Order & Shipping tab below shows exactly what that commission looks like from confirmation to dispatch.
