Sewn-on Bow Ties
Revealing a little secret in fastening the Green Shirt cuffs and collar, by skipping the need for having someone present to tie loose ribbons into bows on every wear, as ready-made ones have already been sewn onto worked-in strips, neatly keeping the cuff folds in place while augmented with a regular button closure to sustain the wrist enabling easy dressing and undressing, a concept that is in the same manner repeated by using a hidden press-button on the neck closure.

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.

Doing some light remodeling at the atelier grounds, looking to work out minimal-conversion solutions for generating a greater efficiency in space-coordination and resource organization using familiar technology.

For the upcoming winter’s collection has now arrived, permitting me to leaf through the delightfully fresh stock and obtain some of the less encounterable fabrics I had been looking for.

Capeline pattern, Collar patternHeavy-duty sew-on interfacing

The patterns defining capeline and collar for the Scarlet Cape, each exist out of five compartments circularly deviating from the neckline in frontwards growing intervals, that will be individually cut as incurvated pieces sewn together maintaining unity in velvet shine direction before being placed around a single piece of heavy-duty interfacing cut from the composite pattern with carved-out darts to uphold that tantalizing neck-curve.
