Fabric and details
A cropped baeja that takes the cobalt-on-white motif of cheonghwa baekja and rebuilds it in yarn. Sits above the natural waist over a jeogori or a modern shirt, with a goreum-style closure at the front and a clean line through the shoulder.
Mid-weight wool blend knit. Pattern is yarn-dyed, not printed. Lined through the body.
Occasion
October layering. The Chuseok table that runs late into the evening. The October portrait where the jeogori is the warm-weather piece and this is the answer to a cold breeze.
See the details.
Cheonghwa baekja is the blue-and-white porcelain of late Joseon, the cobalt drawn under a glaze that sat in court kilns for three centuries. The motifs were plum, bamboo, dragons. The discipline was the white ground. A baeja is the short outer vest of the hanbok wardrobe, the layer that adds warmth without breaking the line.
This version reads the porcelain in yarn. A mid-weight wool blend gives the body. The goreum closure keeps the hanbok grammar. Lined through the body so it holds its shape from morning to evening.
