Raw Silk Jacket Inspiration

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), is a major cereal grain grown in Australia. It was one of the first cultivated grains, particularly in Eurasia as early as 13,000 years ago. Unsurprisingly for us Aussies, Barley has been used a as a source of fermentable material for beer and certain distilled beverages - but is also a popular component of various health foods. Ahem.

Whatever your preferred use for Barley, it is hard to go past the 'Barley Houndstooth' Raw Silk Jacket. The salt of the earth tones of the silk lend the houndstooth weave a classic gentleman's look, serving as the perfect accompaniment for any outfit.
