#patchwork jacket

I've gotten so many sweet notes on my embroidered DE crop top so I wanted to share my jacket at well!

i hope it always stays a work in progress 🫶 each thing i add is another piece of lore

I thrifted this beautiful patchwork jacket (for 8€!!) at the beginning of summer. Totally the wrong season for it, as it's also lined with warm fleece fabric. But I knew I just had to wait. Winter is always coming. I'm really happy I get to wear it finally!

There's just one thing I'd like to change: this jacket didn't come with draw strings to make the hood tighter. That is a feature that's very useful for windy days, so I can prevent the hood from being blown of my head. I will have to do a quick-fix and add drawstrings myself.

Picture 1: A close-up picture of Amy (me), looking kinda tired. She's a young, fat, white woman with glasses and long brown hair. It was on the way to work early in the morning, so tired is accurate (though I had a good nights sleep! Yay for that!). You can see the cute pointy end of the patchwork jacket hood. It's autumn now, so there are lots of layers: visible is the chunky knit fabric of my short-sleeved cardigan, it's a cosy knit in dark colours (black and red) mixed with some white specks. Also the black scarf with silver trees printed on it shows up a bit at the neck. Otherwise, the colourful patchwork jacket dominates!

Picture 2: A close-up picture of a public bench, with my light purple backpack sitting on it. A pink tote a bag with a white flower print (total with green stems and leaves!) is laying next to the backpack. You can see the trees are slowly changing colour and the first fallen leaves are down on the grass.

Picture 3: A mirrored image of Amy (me). Amy's a young, white, fat woman with long brown hair and glasses. She's wearing black jeans and shoes, but the top is way more colourful: You can see a bright red cardigan peaking out under her patchwork jacket. And the patchwork jacket itself is a riot of colours!! There's vibrant orange, red, purple, green, blue.... and embroidery of leaves, flowers and spirals on top! [/image description]

A PEEK AT THE SNAZZY, STARRY DUDS OF A RIFFMASTER -- CAN YOU BELIEVE IT SURVIVED THE SEVENTIES?!

NOTE: Definitely looks like something a member of HAWKWIND would have worn more than one of our proverbial heavy friends in the Sab, wouldn't you say?

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a patchwork jacket once owned by BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi. Tony reportedly bought the jacket in 1969 and wore it on Sabbath's very first tours. All the patches and stickers were added by Tony along the way. It now rests inside the Hard Rock Cafe Berlin.
