The base is a structured navy military coat from the early to mid-1900s, complete with hidden buttons and a stamped interior bearing the name “Whachter MA.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhat makes this piece singular is the 1950s mandil (Mexican apron) hand-appliquéd across the front. Originally designed for traditional homemaking, the apron now becomes a bold visual statement—reclaimed, raw-edged, and stitched with delicate floral embroidery and basket motifs. The contrast between the stern military silhouette and the soft, nostalgic textiles creates an arresting, almost sculptural garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAuthentic vintage military trench (early–mid 1900s)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHand-appliquéd 1950s mandil (apron) with original embroidery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOwner stamp: \u003ci\u003eWhachter MA\u003c\/i\u003e inside coat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHidden button placket\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTrapeze silhouette\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eExcellent condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eUnisex sizing – fits Men’s Small or Women’s Large\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eReworked by LaliSimone's upcycling label, IAMWHATIAM – where garments reclaim story, culture, and shape\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 7pt;\"\u003e* Styling and creative direction by LaliSimone.
