How to measure

Shoulder — measure across the back, from the edge of one shoulder to the other.
Bust — measure around the fullest part of the bust, keeping the tape level.
Waist — measure around the natural waistline, where the body bends side to side.
Hips — measure around the fullest part of the hips.
Length — measure from the base of the collar/waistband down to the hem.
Sleeve length — measure from the shoulder edge to the wrist.
Inseam — measure from the crotch seam down to the ankle hem.

Tip: for the closest fit, compare these measurements to a similar garment you already own and love the fit of, rather than relying on body measurements alone.

Assam | Women's Muga Silk Jacket

Behind The Design

We designed the Assam jacket to bring together regal luxury and effortless, everyday wear. The silhouette is built on panel lines, a structural technique often used in Japanese tailoring, which gives a clean, flattering drape without adding bulk. It is made from Muga silk from Assam, and its gold is the silk's own natural colour; it is not dyed. Light and soft to wear, with a mandarin collar and rounded patch pockets, it looks as good with a matching skirt as it does layered over a dark dress.

About Muga silk: naturally golden and never dyed, GI-tagged silk of Assam, sheen deepens with age, an heirloom silk

How It's Made

Muga is one of India's rarest silks. It comes from the Muga silkworm, native to the Brahmaputra valley of Assam, and is famous for its natural golden lustre. That gold is the colour the silk is born with, so this jacket is not dyed at all.

Every jacket is then made with care for the details you don't see:

Made in our workshop: each piece is cut and stitched in our own Mumbai workshop, in standard sizes or to your measurements.
Natural fabrics inside and out: undyed Muga silk, fully lined in breathable cotton satin, with cotton interlining.
Plant-based buttons: corozo, often called vegetable ivory, made from the nut of the tagua palm.
Recycled thread: sewn with Coats EcoVerde, made from recycled polyester.

The Material Difference

Silk vs. Polyester

Life-cycle assessment · per kg of finished fiber · cradle-to-gate (raw material extraction through primary fiber processing)

	Silk	Polyester
Water	601–3,000 L	62–200 L
Energy	110 kWh/kg (≈396 MJ)	108–217 MJ
CO₂	34.0–80.9 kg	2.0–27.2 kg
Source	Renewable	Fossil fuel
Fertilizer & pesticides	Low to moderate	None (industrial synthesis instead)
Microplastics	None	High
End of life	Biodegradable	Non-biodegradable

Better Moderate Higher impact

The trade-off: Silk is fully biodegradable and sheds no microplastics, but conventional, mechanised silk production is unusually energy- and carbon-intensive, driven by rearing silkworms and reeling/degumming the raw fiber. Polyester compares favourably on energy and CO₂ here, though it remains a non-renewable, non-biodegradable synthetic.

Why the ranges vary: These figures reflect conventional, mechanised auto-loom silk processing — the industry-standard basis for most published data. Adam Leaves sources finished, hand-loomed silk fabric directly from artisan weavers, a slower, less mechanised process not separately measured in this dataset.

Methodology & data notes

Water: Silk's figure covers mulberry cultivation and the degumming (boiling) process used to extract raw fiber from cocoons. Polyester's water use is mostly for equipment cooling during chemical synthesis.
Energy: Silk requires significant energy for reeling and degumming raw cocoons, especially in mechanised production. Polyester relies on energy-intensive petroleum cracking and polymerization, but its per-kg figure is comparatively lower.
CO₂: Conventional silk's emissions are driven by energy-intensive processing and sericulture (silkworm rearing). Polyester's emissions vary with the energy grid — coal vs. renewables — used in manufacturing.
Source: Silk is a protein fiber produced by silkworms feeding on mulberry leaves — renewable, but resource-intensive to process. Polyester is derived entirely from petroleum and natural gas extraction.
Fertilizer & pesticides: Mulberry cultivation for silk needs moderate fertilizer but relatively few pesticides. Polyester uses no agricultural chemicals, but its production relies on petrochemical catalysts and industrial processing chemicals instead.
Microplastics: Polyester sheds synthetic microfibers during washing, which accumulate in marine ecosystems. Silk is a natural protein fiber and does not shed plastic.
End of life: Untreated silk naturally decomposes. Polyester can persist in landfills for centuries, though it can be mechanically recycled.
