This is a vintage American quilt finished circa 1988. We know this because the maker initialed and dated the quilt in hand embroidery. We have preserved the provenance and placed it on the inside of the shawl collar. We have shown this in the listing photos. It is a advanced variation of the traditional Double 9 Patch or Golden Steps quilt pattern. This piece checks all of our boxes. It is thin, lightweight, and has a great drape.The jacket coordinates with everything in your closet and it can withstand everyday wear. Perhaps most importantly it is both hand sewn and hand quilted, a true labor or love and a lost art. If you have further questions, please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.

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 and we believe that makes them perfectly imperfect. This is what makes them a one-of-a-kind piece of art. All of our garments are pre-washed in a special restoration quilt wash. We recommend spot cleaning if necessary.
