1865 Jacket

Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.

The state of West Virginia was born from the conflicting loyalties of the Eastern and Western parts of Virginia. This lightweight, feminine version of a denim jacket celebrates the joining of Union Blue and Dixie Gray. The lacy collar and split sleeves are inspired by traditional styles of the mid-19th century.
