Sissel Edelbo | Lillibeth Jacket in Brown Organic Cotton Twill

The Lillibeth Jacket is a study in controlled volume, a silhouette that asserts itself without apology. Sissel Edelbo cuts it generously, with long raglan sleeves that drop from the shoulder in a clean, unbroken line, creating a shape that is both sheltering and sculptural. It is a jacket that occupies space—not through padding or structure, but through the quiet authority of its proportions. The oversized frame is anchored by a contrasting dark brown corduroy trim, salvaged from leftover material, that traces the collar and upturned cuffs, adding a tactile counterpoint to the twill’s crisp surface. The fabric is a 100% organic cotton twill, substantial enough to hold the jacket’s generous shape without feeling stiff. It has a dry, matte hand, a texture that will soften and settle with wear, developing a subtle lived-in character. The twill’s tight weave gives it a clean drape, falling from the shoulders in deliberate folds rather than clinging or collapsing. Against this sturdy ground, the surface is animated with bold appliqué elephants and pigeons, crafted from repurposed cotton and finished with delicate embroidery—a narrative stitched into the cloth, not printed on it. The construction is deliberate, with details that reward a closer look. Dark brown bone-look buttons run down the front, fastening the jacket with a satisfying weight. Two panel pockets sit at the hips, practical and low, while a detachable collar flap offers the option to shift the silhouette from clean to layered. The interior is lined with leftover printed cotton, a hidden flourish that speaks to the brand’s approach to material conservation. The raglan sleeve cut allows for ease of movement, the armhole generous enough to accommodate a thick knit underneath without pulling at the shoulder. This is not a jacket for a single moment. It works unbuttoned over a fine-gauge knit and wide-leg trousers, the volume of the coat contrasting with a lean base. It can be thrown over a slip dress for a collision of textures, or worn closed as a standalone piece, the appliqués becoming the focal point. The brown twill and corduroy trim ground it in autumn and winter, but the organic cotton weight allows it to transition into early spring. Style it with a chunky boot and a leather belt cinched at the waist for a different proportion, or let it hang loose for a more offhand, sculptural effect.
