Quilt Coat - 1890s Triangles Long S/M

This quilt coat was made using a vintage quilt sourced from Texas, from around the late 1890s. It features neutral, plant dyed fabrics. It is in good condition for its age, but does include signs of wear, and worn patches and opened seams mended - there is visible wear, but the garment is structurally sound for normal use. The quilt is all hand quilted, with great attention to detail. 

** please note discoloration in images **

The pattern created for this coat 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 light to medium weight, perfect for a thicker coat in the cooler months..

This quilt has held up well over time. Always remember that this coat is made from an antique quilt that has seen decades of love.

* antique garment care *

first, remember this is a piece of history - likely around 100 years old. you will see signs of wear, and likely see small tears and stains, which is totally normal! take proper care and be gentle - mending as needed.

washing - deep clean about once a year by soaking in cool water with a gentle or plant based soap - preferably unscented. gently agitate and let it sit for a while - then lay flat in the sun to dry and disinfect! feel free to email us with any maintenance questions hello@reclaimcreative.space
