When I came across this vintage cotton tablecloth that had a bit more weight to it, I knew it was destined for more than the table - is it a shirt? Is it a jacket? Enter: the Shacket! Whatever you want to call it, it is the perfect weight and silhouette to throw on for a little extra something! Given that it is 100% cotton, it is ultra breathable and unfussy - roll up the sleeves, wear it open or closed, treat it like an extra layer, or wear it to the beach. I am now forever on the hunt for this goldilocks of tablecloth weights, because I know this style is perfect as we inch ever closer to cooler temps. The Shacket features a straight body, slight drop shoulder and tapered sleeve, complete with rounded front patch pockets and antique brass snaps.
As this is a vintage tablecloth, it is possible it shows its age in the form of wear and/or discolorations. Any areas such as these are not viewed as flaws, but rather giving it character and showing it's history. These is some age fading and discoloration in areas, and this quilt was washed several times. I have done my best to capture these areas in the photos, but is possible that not all are photographed. Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
For reference, I am 5'7" and my body measurements are: 35" bust, 27" waist, 37.5" hips.
