This Flora Jacket is made from a vintage Orr Health woven wool blanket in a floral design. The inner collar is a soft, dusty blue-toned tencel/lyocell blend fabric to serve as a barrier from the wool around the neck area, with the pockets and outer edge bound in a rich navy hued cotton/linen blend. The front plackets are made from antique indigo dot fabric from the late 1800s, with the binding a stunning floral.
This style jacket features a scooped side hem, bound edges, plackets and inner collar, 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. This blanket has a nubby texture throughout, but I do not think it detracts from the beauty, and this blanket in particular is not itchy at all. Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
