It is in great condition for its age, and includes minimal wear and tear. The have used a few visible mending strategies.

The pattern created for this coat has been designed to fit a variety of bodies, intentionally boxy with a drop shoulder. 

This quilt is medium to heavy weight. Always remember that this coat is made from an antique quilt that has seen decades of love.
