This Flora Jacket is made from a vintage wool blanket in a mixed floral and leaf design set on a cream colored background - this blanket is in excellent condition. The inner collar and front plackets are a plum-toned tencel/lyocell blend fabric to serve as a barrier from the wool around the neck area, with the pockets and outer edges bound in a petite leaf print set on a dusty sage background. The sleeve edges feature the original blanket stitch edge due to it being perfectly intact, paying homage to the blanket's original form.
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. Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
