Shroud of Turin-g

Thought I'd dig out my school jacket tonight. I've been wearing the same dark blue/black suit at work for a month, (it has been washed!) but i fancied a bit of a change before all the staff members think I am a Goth.  Dusted down one of my school suit jackets.. yes, it's brown velvet I was going for that retro teacher look.. however it's worn now and frayed at the sleeves. It made me think about how much memory fabric holds, all the scuffs from rubbing elbows on tables, all the splatters from paint or threadbare patches where pens have worn away at the cotton.. then I noticed.. the shape of my old mobile phone in the pocket, hidden but for an outline like a modern day shroud of Turin

I found my old flip phone and placed it over the silhoette





The photo doesn't really do it justice but I hope it cane be made out
