Samhain Dream Thaw 15 — Moss Mirror Filigree Kaftan
Moss-toned mirror filigree with nested lozenges and a compact shield-like hem repeat.
Small nested lozenges hold a narrow center while feathered forms broaden into the sleeves. The rounded lower drape gathers compact shield-like repetitions into a smaller final field.
The Kaftan form
A flowing V-neck Kaftan gives the artwork a broad sleeve field and long draping sides. Regular and Petite name two garment lengths. The photographs show the image on a garment render; they do not identify a particular fabric choice, provide the full exterior back, or establish a fit on your body.
Choose your length
Regular and Petite describe garment length, not two body-size ranges. Measure from your shoulder toward the hem position you prefer, then compare the approximate lengths below. The supplier’s one-size wording and height guidance do not supply a complete chest, width or ease chart; the photographs cannot promise where the hem will fall on you.
| Length choice | Centimetres | Inches |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | 141 | 55.5 |
| Petite | 91 | 35.8 |
Choose your fabric
Real 100% Silk Georgette 50gsm (Silk)
A lightweight silk georgette with a soft, crepe-like surface and a semi-sheer, flowing character. Choose an underlayer for the coverage you want.
Poly Georgette 65gsm (Polyester)
A light polyester georgette with a slightly more structured character than the silk. Treat it as a layering fabric; the material description does not guarantee finished garment coverage.
Fashion Crepe 150gsm (Polyester)
A textured, matte polyester crepe with more structure. The supplier describes the fabric as opaque; coverage still depends on the garment and how it is worn.
Loose Knit Jersey 185gsm (polyester)
Before choosing Loose Knit Jersey, confirm that it can currently be made as this Kaftan and request its specific care instructions.
Length and Fabric are the selections for this edition. The artwork and its placement are fixed; another artwork is a separate piece. Thread and applicable internal components belong to the House design, specified as black or the nearest producible equivalent, not extra customer options.
Care for the chosen cloth
Silk Georgette: dry cleaning is recommended; the supplier also permits cold hand washing with silk detergent. Poly Georgette and Fashion Crepe: wash at 86°F (30°C), hang dry or use low tumble heat, do not wring, and use a low iron. Loose Knit Jersey needs its own current Kaftan care instruction; confirm it before choosing that option. Follow the supplied care label.
Origin · Vestis Luxuriae
Original artwork by River Jade Smith Travis (Doby) Huffaker is carried in Kaftan (Muliebris/Virilis)(Samhain Dream Thaw 15 of 15 Quindecim ex Quindecim) RJSTHs2025 RJS. Kaftan (Muliebris/Virilis) and the House’s Vestis Luxuriae language place this edition within River Jade Smithy’s clothing world. Its broad cloth allows the artwork to open across width and return in the long folds. Ancient Future and Ancient Now are part of the House language around this art.
For Travis, Green Worth carries the Mystery and mastery felt and witnessed with inside Light, a Grail Smith belief and practice. Here, attending to that worth means meeting the particular artwork, choosing its fabric with care, and tending the finished garment. The House salutation: Long May the Sun Light Wealth OUR Worth.
A companion composition
Grail Hearth Core Copper Fabric Luxury Pajama Trousers
Set the moss-toned lozenges of Samhain Dream Thaw 15 above the Grail Hearth Core Copper Fabric Luxury Pajama Trousers. Their narrow copper, grey and charcoal strands provide a freer line beside the Kaftan’s closely mirrored ornament. Leave the broad sleeve fields open so their feathered forms stay legible. Choose each garment’s fabric separately, and compare the Kaftan length with how much of the trousers you would like to show.

River Jade Smithy's poetic welcome
Upon the far green shore, where love does blend,
In Loved 's wisdom, may this message send.
Each word a beacon, a spark of eldritch light,
A tale of hope and honor, to chase the darkest night.
With noble heart, the craft of legend to be,
A Grail's resplendent art, from farthest sea to sea.
Custom gems of beauty, like stars in night's sweep,
Bespoken treasures we shall forge, in dreams to deeply keep.
Like the mightiest wizard's staff, defects we dispel,
In every item's tale, the power of craft, we tell.
In the forging fire's blaze, each jewel anew,
As Loved's own return, let this message be true.
Swift as an eagle's wing, we send gifts to your hand,
The spiraling coil, symbol of hope, across the land.
In the spirit of Print On Demand, to protect the realms we roam,
With eco-friendly hands, we'll build a better home.
In this magical realm, together we shall dwell,
Unique, enchanting designs, their stories we shall tell.
With the Grail Night's valor, and the Smith's expertise,
Together we journey, crafting dreams with ease.
The journey, seamless, as across the fields we tread,
From Earth’s serenity, as the Silvan Sward, where dreams are spread.
In tales of old and new, in words, songs, and deeds,
With the fellowship of hearts, all wounds shall heal.
As the shadow retreats, with the dawn's first kiss,
May we keep the hope alive, and never miss,
The Grail Smith's allure, a treasure, a balm,
A beacon of honor and love, in Loved’s calm.
Beyond the realms of woman or man, we transcend,
In unity we forge, in honor and love, we'll mend.
May this message, like the magic word, endure,
A token of hope and grace, steadfast and pure.
