This handmade tamarack style jacket is made from a Kantha quilt. This quilt was created using two layers of cotton fabric and machine-quilting with a straight line design. The outside cotton fabric is in a patchwork design in various designs, the inside cotton fabric is pink with a beautiful floral pattern. 

A basic jacket design with two front pockets, a one inch Nehru collar, and finished off with a button-up closure using button loops. The hem of the sleeves and the jacket offer a split seam. The sleeves can be rolled up for a comfy look. This is a fitted design with matching seams sewn along the front of the jacket to define the look. This is a lightweight jacket great for Fall and Spring.

Measurements as follows:

  • Shoulder to Shoulder – 17”
  • Sleeve – 22 1/2”
  • Pit to Pit – 21”
  • Length – 26” 

Ready to ship. The quilted jacket in the picture will be the quilted jacket you receive, each jacket is handmade, so they are all unique - no two are alike. With handmade items there is always an element of human error, whether it be a missed stitch or overlapping design, yet for me the beauty is in the imperfection.

Kantha is a centuries-old tradition of stitching patchwork cloth from rags, which evolved from the thrift of rural women in the Bengali region of the sub-continent - today the eastern Indian states of West Bengal and Orissa, and Bangladesh. Kantha is also the name for quilt itself. The stitch is basically a simple running stitch that can be in straight lines or a complex and intricate pattern that gives an extra dimension of pattern in addition to the printed or woven designs in the fabric.
