Description
This sweater/coat/jacket “MacDonald” reminded me of the boxes of french fries and happy meals from my youth. The rich red with the orangey squares with black and white accents make this upcycled jacket a one of a kind. The collar, pockets and front placket all from a thrift store jacket, the cuffs from a knit thrift store cardigan. The zippers on the back all from a large auction find. Lots of buttons from finds and off other garments. The around the hips you can tie or leave open. Fabric: The main check/red is 70% acrylic 30% wool, the collar and pockets I believe are cotton, the hip band a cotton blend. 3 zippers on the back for accent with plastic black buttons. Garment is made with different sized garments so please refers to measurements below to determine size. Model in photo is a size M, 5’5″ tall 115lbs
NOTE: Since this garment is made from second hand items, expect some minor wear. This might include gently faded fabric, minor pilling, or small areas where the color has become uneven. The beauty of wearing refashioned clothing from secondhand items is to tell the world that you care about the environment. Each garment is a one of a kind, thus the name, Born Again Original, taking that discarded item and giving it new life in a new unique way. I am not a professional seamstress, so my inside seams are not french seams and stitching most likely is crooked. This, I feel is all part of the imperfect “hand” in the process. I make each piece as if I were going to wear it myself, thus difficult at times to see them go. But, it heartens me knowing that they are sent out with a blessing and maybe I may run into it again one day! Fabrics: the green plaid shirt main body, 55%linen, 45%cotton, the waffle knit I believe is cotton, the bottom sweater I think is acrylic there is a stripe of knit jersey, and the vest part I’m not sure if cotton blend of some sort.
