Last Chance Roundup - June 2026

Our final AW2026 drop is here, and we saved some of our most special pieces for last. Things are getting soft, woolly, and decidedly knitty, with top-quality wool knit and embellished right here in Portland, Oregon. A Cushy-Squishy Knit Scarf Plushy Merino is a soft double thick triangle knit made for cold days when you want warmth without a lot of fuss. Tie it around your neck, tuck it into a jacket, or wear it under your chin when the mood strikes. Made from 100% pure merino wool, it’s soft, lightweight, and comfortably warm. This ultra-plushy knit style, is knit entirely in Portland, Oregon by our former studio manager and close friend Olivia Schroeder.  She crafts each one at a time in her home with he idea that it’ll stay in your rotation for years to come. Stitched Cashmere Triangle Scarf Cashmere, but make it LCT. These soft, lightweight triangle scarves bring the cozy without the bulk, with hand-embroidered details stitched right here in our Portland studio. We use a hand-steered chainstitch machine with mechanics that have been around for more than a century. Old-school stitching, very soft cashmere, and just enough fancy to make an ordinary Monday feel special.

From our AW26 collection, another launch is here: Cloud Wool and Big Silk Noil. Two new textures for the season, with soft wool, relaxed silk, and rich colorways made for layering, wrapping, and wearing your own way 🍂 CLOUD WOOL IS HERE! A bandana inspired by my partner’s daily bike commute through the rainy, chilly PNW winter. Watching him pedal through all that wet and cold got me thinking about that tricky balance between warmth and breathability. Too much warmth and you’re sweating by the next stoplight; too little and you’re wishing you’d brought another layer. Enter: Cloud Wool. Woven with an airy, open structure, this 100% wool fabric is soft, lightweight, and wonderfully insulating without trapping too much heat. And did we mention wool is a bit of a wonder at keeping you warm, even when it gets wet? Handy little trick for a rainy bike ride. At approximately 28" x 28", they’re just the right size to wrap around your neck once or twice. Each is finished with a delicate baby hem and ethically made in India. NEW BIG SILK NOIL YOU ASKED, WE LISTENED: our signature silk noil bandanas are getting a little roomier. Have we mentioned that Last Chance Textiles is the original maker of silk noil bandanas? We did it first, and we’re not afraid to brag about it just a little. Made from 100% silk noil, they have that wonderfully soft, slightly nubby texture that makes them easy to wear and decidedly not precious. Now at approximately 36" x 36", there’s plenty of fabric to wrap, knot, drape, or generally fuss with to your heart’s content. A short fringe along the edges keeps things relaxed. Speaking of relaxed, these rascals boarded the extra slow boat over from our ethical factory in India so they are technically a 'pre-order'.  Allow a couple weeks for shipping.  

It's September! We’re back with another monthly roundup from LCT, a little collection of stories, upcoming events, favorite finds, and things we’ve been excited about lately.
