There is a surprisingly narrow distance between “grandmother’s guest room” and “excellent jacket.” This vintage open-front jacket takes the familiar comfort of quilting and gives it a considerably more interesting assignment. Pink and dusty-rose florals run across a black background, while the quilted texture adds softness, dimension, and just enough warmth without turning the whole thing into a coat. The relaxed shape keeps it easy, but the combination of dark florals and old-fashioned quilting gives it the sort of character that newer clothes spend a surprising amount of effort trying to manufacture.
