This quilt coat was made using a vintage, commerically produced, quilt sourced from East Tennessee, from around the 1980s. It has been overdyed using an organic indigo. It is in good condition for its age, but does include signs of wear appropriate to its age. Since it is dyed with a natural dye - it is normal to see imperfections. Dyed with plants, set with a vinegar wash & washed with natural detergent. The more the garment is washed and/or left in the sun - the more likely it is to fade over time.

** please note wear of fabric in images **

The pattern created for this vest has been designed to fit a variety of bodies, intentionally open-faced with no buttons or zippers, long and loose around the mid section to be accommodating.

This quilt is medium weight, perfect for layering in most seasons!

This quilt has held up well over time. Always remember that this vest is made from an antique quilt that has seen decades of love. It has already been washed and hung to dry!
