Hand Embroidered Repurposed Vintage Army Jacket
This warm, one of a kind, quilted jacket is remade by hand from repurposed vintage and second hand textiles.
Completely un-made to be re-made, a vintage army jacket has been used for the outer shell of this jacket. It has been given additional concealed pockets in the side seams. The buttons and buttonholes have all been kept as original.
It features a curved machine quilted outer layer with interlining that sandwiches a layer of fine, but warm, autumn mid weight cotton wadding.
The piece is finished with hand embroidery around the shoulders, the design is taken from a vintage stencil and completed with hours of satin stitching using surplus vintage cotton embroidery threads.
The lining has been cut from a soft striped vintage brushed cotton sheet and given interior patch pockets which keep the original edge detailing. 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.
