The Cherub Study - Jacket
Military Jacket
An archival study in structure, memory, and light.
The Cherub Study Military Jacket transforms forgotten archival imagery into a collectible wearable artwork. Created using the historic cyanotype process and naturally toned with madder root, the piece features layered cherub motifs, ornamental flourishes, and aged textile-inspired imagery that emerge organically through light exposure and botanical dyeing.
The silhouette draws inspiration from historical military uniforms, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens with a cropped structure, dramatic sleeves, and antique brass hardware.
Each jacket undergoes a slow artisanal process that ensures no two pieces are ever identical. Variations in tone, print density, and botanical development become part of the garment’s story.
This is not a reproduction of history.
It is a preservation of it.
The Process
Each jacket is individually created through:
• Hand preparation of the denim surface
• Application of archival cyanotype imagery
• UV light exposure printing
• Botanical toning using natural madder root
• Slow washing and finishing techniques
• Individual hand inspection
