The Helen is a mid-length jacket that falls right above the knee. This specific Helen is a traditional wedding ring quilt from the 1930’s with a scalloped hem. This quilt pattern is significant because in many cultures, the wedding ring quilt was gifted upon marriage. This is a medium-weight quilt. This style is a swing jacket with kimono influence. The Helen jacket is completely reversible. Please see video for more information.
This jacket features side slits for generous movement and beautiful drape.
The dolman sleeve design gives this jacket its American Boro/kimono vibe.
Fold the architectural collar down to create a lapel if desired.
The Helen Jacket has a generous fit and is not meant to have a tailored look.

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.
