Hand Quilted Repurposed Linen Jacket
This warm, one of a kind, quilted jacket is remade by hand from repurposed vintage and second hand textiles.
A thickly woven vintage linen shirt has been completely un-made in order to be remade into this piece. The buttonholes have been kept as original but the original buttons swapped in for something a little stronger (not new…still vintage from an old stash).
It features a striped machine quilted outer layer with interlining that sandwiches a layer of fine, but warm, autumn weight cotton wadding. 2 large hip pockets have been concealed within the side seams.
There are a couple of small visibly darned areas, using cotton embroidery thread, on this jacket to fix sone small holes. The piece is finished by an all over hand quilted cross stitch using a light grey embroidery thread, a process which takes many hours to complete.
Repurposed linen has been used to cut this hand finished lining with 2 large patch pockets. As always, the garment is stamped to show it is a repurposed item with all original labels included for reference.

- 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.
