This vest features a vintage wool blanket sourced from Ukraine, with the most unique sunflower and corn pattern! We've adapted our vest pattern slightly to accommodate a front placket and snaps to keep you extra cozy. The placket was constructed from fabric salvaged from a quilt dating back to the 1800s - the indigo blue and cheddar yellow are remarkably saturated, so we couldn't let any go to waste! The edges are bound in a lovely Essex linen, with antique brass snap closures, and complete with rounded handwarmer style pockets.
We are still dialing in the fit of the snap closure vest, so please note that this piece best suits a size XS or small chested S as the shoulders and neck opening are slightly narrower than the fit of the XS-M open style vest.
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. These areas are viewed not as defects, but merely giving it character and a nod to it's past life. Please review the photos as returns are not accepted.
