Product Story & Emotional Resonance

“The Weight of Silence. The Strength of the Peak.”

The Midnight-Mantle is the gravitational center of the collection. It is designed for the man whose presence is felt through his silence. While other shawls catch the light, this piece absorbs it, creating a commanding obsidian silhouette that speaks of absolute authority and grounded heritage. It represents the "heavy armor" of the Gilgit series—a layer of literal and metaphorical protection for the modern sovereign.

Style & Comfort Essence

• The Masculine Silhouette: This is not a delicate wrap; it is a structural garment. The 48-count thread ensures a dense, "weighted" drape that holds its shape against the wind and creates sharp, clean lines when folded over the shoulder or layered with a dark charcoal overcoat.

• The "Signal Fire" Border: The deep, pitch-black field is framed by a rhythmic, hand-loomed border. This sequence of crimson and antique gold threadwork is designed to evoke the image of a signal fire burning on a distant ridge at midnight.

• Tactile Experience: The pure wool provides a dry, substantial warmth. It feels honest and rugged to the touch, built to soften over decades of use while maintaining its architectural integrity and resisting pilling.

• The 48-Count Advantage: In high-end masculine weaving, the 48-count thread is the gold standard for durability. As a 100% natural fiber, it breathes with your body heat, keeping you insulated in the biting mountain cold without ever feeling stifling.

⚠️ Care and Longevity (Important)

To maintain the absolute black depth and the structural integrity of this high-altitude wool, please follow these guidelines:

Professional Dry Cleaning Only: To preserve the hand-loomed border and the density of the weave, professional dry cleaning is the only recommended method.

Crucial Note: DO NOT wash this item in water. Pure wool is prone to felting and will shrink significantly if washed, even in cold water. Please adhere strictly to dry cleaning for long-term care.

Mini FAQs

• Q: Why is this called the "most formal" piece?

  The Midnight Obsidian hue combined with the structural drape creates a very sharp, polished silhouette that pairs perfectly with traditional formal tunics or western overcoats.

• Q: Is the black a true black?

  Yes. It is designed as a "Midnight Obsidian" which is intended to absorb light rather than reflect it, providing a deep, matte finish.

• Q: How does the "48-count" feel compared to other wools?

  It feels more "substantial" and "weighted." It isn't slippery; it has a dry, firm grip that ensures it stays in place and provides maximum warmth.
