This vest features a vintage 100% Wool blanket sourced from Ukraine, with a contrast plaid 100% wool binding that belonged to my assistants mother (and possibly even grandmother!), complete with rounded pockets that feature the original blanket stitch edge - savaged from the only area on the blanket where this detail was intact!
Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
As this is made from a vintage textile that has lived a full life before becoming a piece of wearable art, it is possible it show it's age in the form of some discolorations and wear to the fabric. There is an area that was repaired at some point in this blanket’s life prior to coming to me, and it is very sturdy and I love the character this adds! These areas are viewed not as defects, but merely giving it character and a nod to its past life. Please review the photos as returns are not accepted.
For reference, I am 5'7" and my body measurements are: 34.5" bust, 26.5" waist, 35.5" hips.
Measurements (taken flat across) - it is best to compare measurements to a coat/vest you already own - sizing is flexible due to the open nature of this style:
Chest (armpit to armpit): 20.5" (flexible given the open nature of this piece)
Length (top of the shoulder to bottom hem): 20" - please note this is more cropped than usual as the blanket was quite small, but didn't let that stop me from making this vest!
Shoulders: 15"
