Aviator Quilted Jacket, Debbie Major

Special edition item. This item is made from surplus materials.

This unique piece is part of a special collection that celebrates the masterful work of Gee’s Bend – a small, remote community of women quilters in Alabama. By transforming leftover fabrics from Marfa Stance production in Italy into a wearable work of art, this collaboration generates much-needed income for the community. Each distinctive geometric design took over a week to make, and is signed with the moniker of one of the 38 artisans that contributed to its creation.

Continuing the Gee's Bend ethos of artisanship, this piece has been crafted by our partners in Italy, bringing the spirit of collaborative craftsmanship from around the world into one original garment.

Featuring a unique front panel that’s been hand-finished in rich-coloured fabrics by Gee’s Bend quilter Debbie Major, this version of our Aviator Quilt combines the finest surplus nappa leather and shearling with original artwork.

Due to the nature of this philanthropic collaboration and the special edition one-of-a-kind pieces, in which proceeds go directly to fund the Quilters and Community Manager in the Bend, all purchases will be final and non-refundable.
