This Flora Jacket is made from a vintage floral wool blanket sourced from a woman-owned business in Ukraine in a cool-toned kelly green. The hood lining and front plackets were constructed from a soft, gauzy cotton plaid fabric sent by our friends at Toad&Co. The outer edges are bound in a mustard yellow cotton/linen blend fabric. The original blanket had a small hand-embroidered ‘H’, and this has been included on the back right sleeve!
This style jacket features a scooped side hem, bound edges, plackets and hood, antique brass snaps and oversized handwarmer style 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!
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.
