I am old enough to remember the chenille bedspreads, but I have never seen a bed jacket. I love that!! It would be at the top of my 'want list' if they made them today. It's
very pretty.

I remember those. I know they are still making chenile robes, I have 2 of them, but haven't seen the jackets. It is a lovely pattern. Looks like it dates from the 50's.

I was in the airport and saw a lady who had cut up old chenille bedspreads to make a jacket out of them. I really loved the jackets and have it on my list of things to do. I have several old spreads around here.

Me either, Kris...
Sometimes they are just too pretty to use in a quilt or other things...

Looks very comfy.
Also looks like it's still in excellent condition.

This is a lovely vintage jacket!

I had a newer bed jacket, but it was so stiff, and wouldn't soften up, even after washing. I gave up and gave it to Goodwill. I use a soft sweatshirt fabric jacket now!
