This Flora Jacket is made from multiple vintage blankets sourced from Ukraine - the front and back panels are a beautiful celery green I haven't come across before, and absolutely love it! The arms are a beautiful blue-on-blue floral, with the collar and pockets constructed from the last bits of a rust toned floral blanket. The front plackets and inner collar are pieced from a woven cotton plaid I found yardage of secondhand here in Vermont, with the outer edges bound in a rich plum tencel fabric sourced from a local woman-owned fabric shop here in Vermont as well.
This style jacket features a straight side hem, bound edges, plackets and inner collar, antique brass snaps and rounded patch front pockets. This is the Flora Jacket pattern by Brightside Pattern Company that I pattern tested for them, and they were kind enough to grant me permission to make finished coats available to you! The fit is oversized through the body with slimmer arms, and a stand up collar - a truly amazing fit!
As this garment is made from antique/vintage textiles, It is possible this piece shows its age in places in the form of worn, slightly discolored areas, and/or mends - these are not viewed as flaws, but rather giving it character and showing its history. Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
