Hand Quilted Vintage Indigo Chore 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 deep indigo chore jacket has been used as the outer layer of this jacket. The buttons and buttonholes have been kept as original.
It features a striped machine quilted outer layer with interlining that sandwiches a layer of fine, but warm, autumn weight cotton wadding. There are 3 pockets on the front each of which has been quilted and lined in turn before stitching back in place.
You will see a few very small darned areas, they are woven in tone in a cotton embroidery thread.
The piece is finished by a triple row all over hand quilted cross stitch using a fine off white cotton embroidery thread, a process which takes many hours of love to complete.
The hand finished lining has been cut from a thickly woven surplus army blanket that is brushed on the inside giving the jacket an extra layer of warmth. The lining includes added interior patch pockets and 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.
