Tsho Tshaj Sab, Paj Ntaub Qwj - Funerary Jacket, Snail Style - NeckbandThis funerary jacket brings together heritage with modernity. We update the traditional HMong jacket sewing pattern by customizing the armscye to fit arms/shouldes better. We also altered the back of the neckline from a straight cut into a cut that hugs the back of the neck. Finally, we custom made the pankou knots to fasten the jacket, providing a decorative enclosure if needed.
The little details matter! Indigo-dyed silk bound hems are sewn to the arm and armpit inseams as well as the hem running along the center back of the jacket.
Don't forget the beautiful paj ntaub mos-- all hand cut & sewn, taking over 400 hours of work.
