Midnight Haberdashery Jacket

Midnight Haberdashery Jacket – LOVE & The Dapper Leopard

Story:
For the library after midnight. This isn't a hoodie — it's haberdashery.

Front, she says it plain: LOVE. Oversized, set inside a faded black heart, spelled in mixed-media rhinestones — silver, crystal, and copper mosaic that catches lamplight. Below it, a stitched triple-heart appliqué: genuine suede, raw linen, and leopard calf. Bleach-splashed black base, each one no two alike, like old books left in the sun.

Back, the surprise: The Dapper Leopard. Full-back, custom illustrated, tuxedo jacket with brocade copper vest, bow tie, and rose boutonniere. The gentleman you didn't expect. All stitched down with visible top-stitching, not just printed.

Hood lined in copper web lace, zip front, kangaroo pockets, soft-brushed interior. Sheri wore this one over black trousers in the library and never took it off.
