Item J33
The shell fabric for this bomber jacket came from an antique Japanese kimono I took apart. A formal kimono, it had five family crests, and I was pleased that I was able to repurpose all of them. The interior fabric is a stencilled silk crepe that came from another kimono I disassembled. It features a bi-directional pattern depicting courtesans and traditional furnishings in a dressing area.
The size is large or extra large. The neckline to the lower hem measures 23"; the neckline to the sleeve hem measures 31"; and armpit to armpit measures 27." The quilted batting is 100% new wool sourced in the US.
