Floral Oat Wool & Dark Wash Denim

This one-of-a-kind vest has a 100% wool base made from an upcycled vintage blanket (floral oat colour) and is topped with a light weight dark cotton denim. The collar is olive wool, lined with a vintage bright blue and white houndstooth pattern. The body is lined with cotton featuring woodland animals in forest green on white. The entire vest is edged in soft brown linen and hand-stitched. Brown corduroy welt pockets, lined. Snaps for closure. Materials are both new and used, but everything has been prewashed. 

The boxy cut is somewhere between roomy medium, depending on preferences - it was designed to be worn over sweaters, in fall layered fashion. Check against your own measurements for best fit, allow for some wiggle room.
