One-of-a-Kind: Ukrainian Floral Wool Blanket Flora Jacket (XS)

This Flora Jacket is made from a vintage wool blanket sourced from Ukraine, and features a floral design on the chestnut brown background that has some warm rust tones throughout. The edges are bound in a rich navy hued cotton/linen blend, with the inner collar, front packets, and sleeve cuffs featuring a stunning wool plaid fabric that was passed on to my assistant from her mother, and possibly even grandmother before finding its final home in this special piece. 

This style jacket features a scooped side hem, bound edges, plackets and inner collar, antique brass snaps and oversized handwarmer style pockets. This is the Flora Jacket pattern by Brightside Pattern Company that I pattern tested for them, and they were kind enough to grant me permission to make finished coats available to you! The fit is oversized through the body with slimmer arms, and a stand up collar - a truly amazing fit!

It is possible this piece shows its age in places in the form of worn, slightly discolored areas, and/or mends - these are not viewed as flaws, but rather giving it character and showing its history. This blanket has a nubby texture throughout, but I do not think it detracts from the beauty, and this blanket in particular is not itchy at all. Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
