The Journey Jacket

I didn’t know what to get my college graduates………
Like how do you even wrap up years of memories, acomplishments, inside jokes, growth, friendships….all of it?
So I didn’t.
I made something instead, stitched something they will treasure for years to come, something they can add to as their journeys continue into the next phase.



I created custom jackets for my twins and their two closest friends – each one covered in handpicked, thrifted, meaningful patches that tell the story of their college years. Every patch = a memory, a moment, a piece of who they became.
And now I can’t stop thinking….why isn’t everyone doing this?
Because this isn’t just a gift. It’s a wearable piece of art. It is: The place they lived, the things they loved, the people who changed them, the version of themselves they’re leaving behind. All stitched into one jacket they can wear for many years.



I just posted 4 YouTube videos breaking down every single patch and the meaning behind them (and let me tell you…some of them will make you cry.) But now I need to know…..Would you wear your story?
Because I have a feeling this is about to become a thing…..The Journey Jacket isn’t just a jacket. It’s your life stitched together. Once you see these…a basic gift is just not gonna cut it. Red Shed Designs is Made for the Bold….Not the Basic.
I had so much fun designing and curating the patches for these jackets, gift giving is my love language for sure, I even made custom gift boxes with photos of them!
I’m curious if I opened up a few slots for custom Journey Jackets would anyone be interested in purchasing one for themselves or as a gift?
Your Story. Your Style. Your Journey – A wearable story. A memory keeper. A one-of-a-kind piece made just for YOU. I can take a jacket that you already own, add vintage patches, meaningful patches, textures & details. Your personal story, experiences and vibe, no two would be the same. Pricing would be based on time & materials because magic like this can’t be one-size-fits-all. Send me an email message Sarah@redsheddesigns.com if you are interested and we can talk about creating something amazing and I can put together a quote. Because your story deserves to be worn.
