The Chore Coat has a boxy fit, with a slight drop shoulder, and gently tapered, set in sleeve, and is made from a light to midweight quilt that is hand-pieced and quilted in a pinwheel pattern using many lovely neutral calico and shirting fabrics, with lovely pops of blues, greens, and pinks throughout. To give this silhouette a modern, while still utilitarian feel, it features antique brass snaps and rounded handwarmer style front pockets. It is in quite good condition otherwise for its age, with some very minor age discoloration in areas that did not lift from multiple soaks and time in the sun.
As this is a vintage quilt that lived a full life prior to being reworked into a wearable garment, it is possible it shows its age in areas - these are not viewed as flaws, but rather giving it character and showing it's history. I have done my best to capture such areas in the photos, but is possible that not all are photographed. Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
For reference, I am 5'7" and my body measurements are: 34.5" bust, 27" waist, 37.5" hips.
