This is the confluence of a very rare vintage Army Air Force vest and a 1880's-1890's Fence Rail quilt. The quilt is made of many different fabric scraps such as silks, wools, velvets, tweeds, and cottons. There are a few tiny bite marks on some of the quilt fabrics but this is in overall amazing shape for its age. The many different pockets on this vest make it a piece of art. This vest is to die for and an insane find! Every single tiny and large pocket is labeled. Here are some of our favorites: Fire starter, knife, and whistle, signal mirror, rations, personal items. The backing of the quilt is a soft plaid flannel that we have tried to show in the photos.

Please note that all of our jackets are made from antique quilts and the fabric reflects this. Our fabrics are sometimes older than 100 years old and are perfectly worn. We believe this is what makes them special and is part of their charm. All of our garments are pre-washed in special restoration quilt wash. We recommend only spot cleaning if necessary.
