Hand Embroidered Quilted Repurposed Black Boiler Suit Jacket
This warm, one of a kind, quilted jacket is repurposed and remade from a second hand garment.
The original garment was completely deconstructed and remade with new layers. It is a faded black colour showing layers of use from its past life and has some great worn textures throughout.
It features a machine quilted outer layer with interlining that sandwiches a layer of fine, but warm, autumn weight cotton wadding. An additional 5 patch pockets have been made using the surplus leg fabric - each quilted and stitched in place.
A couple of hand sewn on patch repairs have been made and the piece is finished by edging all patches and pockets with a small running embroidered stitch using a fine off white cotton embroidery thread, a process which takes many hours to complete.
The lining has been cut from a white cotton and includes 2 large interior patch pockets. 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.
