Hand Quilted Repurposed Levis Denim Jacket
This warm, one of a kind, quilted jacket is repurposed and remade by hand from a vintage blue Levis Denim Shirt.
The original garment was completely deconstructed and remade with new layers. It features a machine quilted outer layer with interlining that sandwiches a layer of fine, but warm, autumn weight cotton wadding. 2 large pockets have been stitched into the outer side seams. Metal buttons and buttonholes are all original. Red Levis Tab remains stitched by front pocket.
The piece is finished off with rows of a hand quilted cross stitch in an off white embroidery thread, a process which takes many hours to complete.
The lining is repurposed from a surplus army blanket (this makes for an extra cosy jacket as this is a thickly woven fabric that is brushed on the inside for warmth) and has a large patch pocket on one side of the lining. As always, the garment is stamped to show it is a repurposed item.

- Preloved Information
Items are made with preloved vintage and second garments and textiles. As such they may show signs of age from storage or wear related use including the likes of fold lines, discolouration, markings, repair work and stitch marks. I think these imperfections all add to the uniqueness and charm of the garments story and I hope you think so too!
Please refer to the photos and of course anything major will be highlighted in the description above.
