This vintage hunting jacket (60s or 70s maybe) needed a little refresh to make it wearable again, what a great Op-shop find!
The extendable skirt which was once waterproof was delaminating and well past its time, so I extended the lining and turned the skirt into a neat hem along the existing stitch line.
This jacket is now ready to live another life of adventures!

Got anything that needs fixing? Please reach out!
