The reclaimed army surplus jacket is the perfect piece for exploring while out and about in nature, the huge pockets are perfect for storing treasures found on the trail and the over-sized silhouette keeps one warm and dry.  The jacket is embroidered with items that one would encounter while out exploring; a scenic view while strolling out by a lake, leaves falling from trees during the autumn season, a beautiful feather, or a seashell from the shoreline. Each is painstakingly rendered through the use of thousands of stitches and hundreds of tiny seed beads.
