Hand Quilted Repurposed Vintage Indigo Chore Jacket
This warm, one of a kind, quilted jacket is repurposed and remade from a vintage chore jacket.
The original garment was completely deconstructed and remade with new layers. Buttons and buttonholes are all original.
It features a grid patterned machine quilted outer layer with interlining that sandwiches a layer of fine, but warm, autumn weight cotton wadding. The patch pockets have been individually quilted, stitched back in place and edged with a row of cross stitch.
A couple of embroidered repairs have been made and the piece is finished with an all over hand quilted embroidery cross stitch following the grid design.
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 2 large 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.
