Chores ᐧ 36 promise

36 promise

But now I know better than to run from us
even if weather a storm we must

Poem by Shaina Yang

Marked by both an inherent sense of balance and restraint, yet also a resolute sense of intentionality, 36 promise delivers its features with poise and beauty. The beige and navy striped lining hosts the coat’s apt name as a vow that the wearer places behind their chest, while the Nicki Cherry charm dangles at the right pocket, always at hand. 

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
49” bust, 25” length (high point shoulder to hem)

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.
