The Reversible Quilted Bomber Jacket is designed, printed and made in England. This double-sided garment is constructed from quilted silk twill on one side, and unquilted silk twill on the other, with each side displaying a contrasting colourway. The jacket hemline falls at hip-height, and the ribbon drawstrings can be adjusted using the metal cord-stoppers to offer a variety of styles. With the drawstrings tight, the jacket is cropped and compact, but once the ties are loosened, the jacket offers a more trapeze-like fit. The bomber jacket fastens using magnetic, subtly branded snaps concealed beneath the centre front placket. Patch pockets have been applied to the quilted side of the jacket; the placement print meaning that the design continues entirely uninterrupted.
The Wolf You Feed Reversible Silk Bomber Jacket draws inspiration from a wide range of sources. The wolf motif was first inspired by the incredible dioramas at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and recognises the extirpation and near-extinction of the gray wolf from the United States due to a program fuelled by human prejudice and fear. The titular phrase references an ancient Cherokee legend; every man has two wolves fighting inside of him. One is angry, greedy and resentful, while the other is kind, peaceful and loving. Which wolf will win? The wolf you feed. Many of the details within this design were inspired by the art of fraternal societies, re-purposed to represent a reverence for nature, including the golden fleece. Nineteenth century, hand painted parcheesi boards provided references for many of the pattern details, while the plight of the naïve chipmunk alludes to a second, pertinent legend.
