Glossy Wooly

Shortly after the WGT I came across the ideal material for fabricating a coat I had long had in mind, a shiny black velour, adequately firm in body, yet flexible enough to (when cut generously) fall in continual godet; a perfect suitor provided there had been more of it than the 2.2 meters that was left on the roll.

Left unwilling to let this one pass by though, once the patterns were drawn, I started looking for a befitting fabric to supplement the velour in accent pieces, bringing in the sense of duality conform to secondary garments, which led me to an exquisite wool-cashmere to bequeath its own characteristics onto the coat.

Marquis Coat Fabrics: a heavy cashmere-wool blend for accent pieces (left), a supple yet dense velour (right) and a soft-satin lining to finish the coat's inner side.
