Fabric Guide

Maharishi’s ethos of utilising technology whilst respecting nature is reflected in the fabric selection of the latest collection, EVERYTHING FLOWS · BE HERE STILL.

House staple choices like organic cotton, sustainable hemp, and vintage military surplus are combined with new seasonal fabrics including British Herringbone wool and technically engineered cloths like Proline 3-ply waterproof fleece.

Core fabrics such as Japanese flight nylon and cotton corduroy are seen in signature tones of olive and black as well as sage and the new purple ash.
