As this jacket is made from a vintage quilt, I mend or work around any significant damage on the quilt to ensure the longevity and visual aesthetic of the garment. However, it's in the nature of vintage quilts to show signs of age. Any signs of age on this jacket are intentional. These are not flaws; they bring beauty, character, and history to this item. I do my best to show all points of wear in the photos and description, but it's possible some minor ones may be missed. All fabric is prewashed. Please review all photos and measurements carefully before purchasing. ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
