This is an Antique American quilt. Made circa 1890s-1919. It is a traditional Bow tie quilt pattern. This piece has been beautifully hand quilted and meticulously hand sewn, which is a labor of love and a lost art. This quilt contains rare and valuable indigos, home spun ginghams, and men's shirt scraps. We cannot express how fabulous these turn of the century fabrics read in person. Each one is more special than the next! In our opinion, the quilt is in excellent condition. We love the contrasting fabric on the back of the quilt (inside of the jacket). This can best be appreciated when the cuffs are rolled or the jacket is worn upside down. We have added photos at the end of this listing showing the jacket styled upside down and inside out. This quilt is a summer weight quilt, which means it was never made for warmth but for aesthetics. As a result, it has little to no loft (puffiness or batting). In our opinion this jacket is soft, thin, lightweight, and has excellent drape. This is a Lady Lancaster 10/10. Please note these sleeves are 2" shorter than our standard Ethel Pattern. If you have long arms, this may not be the jacket for you. 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.
