Chores ᐧ 35 thank goodness

35 thank goodness

I hid from you to escape my shame
but we were fated and we overcame

Poem by Shaina Yang

35 thank goodness is proud host to a celebratory glory of embroidery on both the front and back of the darker navy blue. Sturdy and hard-wearing, the coat sports unusual rivet closures at the cuffs as well as a Nicki Cherry pearl charm at the breast pocket. The embroidered name sits front and center against the striped lining inside — a mantra of gratitude and affirmation for the wearer to carry. 

Materials
Vintage chore coat (cotton or cotton blend), patchwork lining constructed from antique indigo-dyed cotton fabric scraps, cotton embroidery floss, blister pearl and silver charm, glass beads

Measurements
42” bust, 29” length (high point shoulder to hem)
Blake (model) is 6'4" tall

Care
For coats — remove charm using silver clasp, then dry clean or hand wash cold with mild detergent and line dry, warm iron on reverse with a little steam. Interior button serves as extra support for the silver clasp, which can be reinforced or removed as needed. For charms — gently clean with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Avoid wetting charms for extended periods of time. If using silver polish, avoid pearl.
