Ashley’s Pullover Collection launched earlier this summer and features designs available for a limited time. Inspired by chef Ashley’s all-time favorite shirt, the collection uses organic cotton jersey and machine-sewn artistry to create functional and flattering styles. Read back on the Journal to learn all about James Beard award-winning chef Ashley Christensen and our collaboration.
One of the styles—The Ashley Cardigan—is inspired by a traditional chef’s jacket, which became en vogue in the culinary world in 1878. The double-breasted front of a chef’s jacket is intended to protect from heat and kitchen hazards. While our cardigan is more about style and less about protection, the hand-sewn snaps and double-breasted details make this piece feel sturdy yet comfortable. (It has pockets, too.)
Find this style, along with the rest of Ashley’s Pullovers—and goods for your home kitchen here in Ashley’s Pullover Collection for a limited time.
P.S.: Ashley also made a visit to cook at The Factory for our Friends of the Café benefit dinner for the Southern Foodways Alliance. Get a behind-the-scenes look here.
