A Bisht is an overcoat for men worn with festive occasions.
I adjusted this vintage bisht (from origin long dark overcoat) Into a short jacket/kimono shaped top.
Looks gorgeous worn with a high waist denim or a classic 501 jean.
The nice golden details are kept original and handmade. Andpause labelling is attached at the inside of the jacket.
At the back side there is a nice repair detail visible and the garment is finished with a nice looking hand-frayed hem.
With the images below we show you how we made the original bisht into the gorgeous jacket is is now.
Ingredients used while altering the bisht:
– &II labelling (printed by hand)
– Sewing machine
– Matching yarn
– Scissors
