TENDER SCOUT JACKET - COTTON BLACKOUT - PURPLE LOGWOOD
Based on a historic Boy Scouts of America uniform jacket from the textiles collection at
University of Wisconsin-Madison, the extra large collar can be worn up, down, or buttoned half way, tight to the neck.
The entire body is cut in one panel, crossways across the grain of the fabric, and the
sleeves are seamed along their tops to the shoulders. The patch pockets wrap to the sides. All cotton sewing thread, dyed cotton-covered metal buttons. Made in USA Blue Label.
This fabric is woven in USA from American cotton, as a base fabric for finishing into
blackout blinds. It is a midweight sateen weave, and the floated warp of this structure
gives it a softer, drapier texture than the same yarn in a standard twill weave. Originally
intended to be coated with plastic, this fabric takes dyes particularly well.
Logwood, or bloodwood, is a tree that is native to the West Indies and South America.
When the ground heartwood is soaked in water it makes a blood red liquid which can
be used as an indicator solution, changing colour depending on what is added to it. Used
as a dye it can produce a range of colours from black and purple to a delicate fawn.
Aztec and Mayan cultures used logwood for centuries, and it was highly prized when it
was first brought to Europe by the Spanish in the 15th Century. In the 1570s Elizabeth I
of England ordered privateers to seize Spanish logwood cargoes, escalating hostilities
between the two countries and leading, in 1588, to the sinking of the Spanish Armada.
