It's October. Slow fashion's autumn collections are (finally) hitting my eyes, and there is a bit of magic happening in my imagination. Vests + quilted jackets specifically are landing a little differently this year. I'm imagining a sweater vest thrown over a weightless blouse adding an element of warmth in the days to come...a quilted vest layered over a sweater keeping me cozy as the days shorten even further.
I'm wondering if a quilted jacket might be just the perfect thing to fill in my coldest weather blanks. I crave softness + ease of movement while wearing a layer that breaks the wind. I'm imagining layering First Rite's quilted jacket up with a sweater, scarf, hat + gloves for brisk winter hikes + walks.
Layering is a good way to address seasonal changes, especially for a minimalist. A few pieces can be worn in a number of ways to meet the demands of changing weather. These layers are even more appealing when they are made of natural fibers (linen, cotton + silk!) + with great intention toward farmers, garment workers + the planet!
And if I decide to think about sewing another quilted jacket, these patterns could be contenders:
