            There was a time when Devoa pieces came in boxes. A pair of very early season shirts. Fascinating to see a glimpse at the anatomic patterns beginnings.

              I discovered Devoa about a year ago and absolutely loved the aesthetics of it. Especially the outwear and pants. However I had not handled any of the pieces until couple of days ago when my first Devoa jacket arrived. It's a cotton/linen hooded jacket. On the picture the jacket looked good but, oh man, in reality it's so much more beautiful. The quality is simply superb. My girlfriend though, who does appreciate the design, calls this piece a potato sack :) as the material does resemble the latter to a certain extent.

                  Design - she likes; texture - resembles (in her opinion) the material used for potato sacks. Does this make more sense to you now?

                    Was it the ramie version? I could see how the comment came up, although I kind of agree with eat_me - you'd think a design-conscious person would not say something like that. But maybe she did not mean it in a pejorative sense?

                      No, she definitely did not mean it in a pejorative way. She was just being sarcastic. Trust me, she is very design-conscious and her sense of style is amazing

                          I took a couple of pictures for you. Quality is not the best though. The color in real life is closer to the second picture.
