Rainbow Batik Stripe 2XL Quilted Vest Rework

A one-of-a-kind vest reworked from a discarded vintage batik quilt — horizontal bands of hand-dyed cotton running the full spectrum, from butter yellow and tangerine through plum, teal and moss. Sky blue binding pulls the whole thing together, and the inside is lined in a dark teal floral.

Boxy, slightly cropped silhouette with two patch pockets and three front tie closures that let you set the fit. Size 2XL. There is exactly one of these.

Measurements — size 2XL (laid flat)

• Chest, pit to pit: 25"
• Length, shoulder to hem: 20"

These are our standard 2XL figures. Because every vest is cut from a different quilt they can vary by about ±½ inch — the last photo is this vest's own tape-measure shot.

Condition

Reworked by hand from a genuine vintage quilt. Expect gentle fading, the odd soft spot in the batting, and small irregularities in the piecing — that is the source material showing through, not damage.
