The hat‘s construction, erected from subsequent layers of thin, though rigid, greyboard, fastened using both adhesive and staples, here displayed in the process of being finished, receiving its lining on gently pressing the softly glued seams into the securely carved ribs, covering all bearings and face-supporting connections.
After upgrading the Cathedral Cape it is time to tend to the other ‘Architecturewear-project’ creation and further accentuate its concept-lines. Using the following sketch as a symbolic illustration of the flows manifesting through the seams that are making up the design; both distinct semblances are to be subtly represented by contrastive types of trim; with black braided lace covering the blue lines that follow and intersect with the reds, which depict placement points for a great mass of pewter buttons.
Next up is an architecturally-grounded concept with a strong Balto-Slavic character to it, that is to be derived from merging short-pile fur onto lightweight greyboard in order to construct a diamond-shaped top-hat which exists out of four levels that continue the divergence of the regular decagon found on top, through a series of angular planes that are all measured to follow the golden ratio.
The decagon makes an excellent foundation for the project as its unique devision clearly distincts between front and flanked views, while being substantial enough to ascertain that for the chosen materials, the many surfaces will be reflected beautifully.

Revising the Cathedral Cape reminds there are not two but four sides to regard when making a collar, with the new under-collar’s four bias-cut pieces guiding its interfacing fold-line to bring the satin to shape while the upper-collar holds a reinforced set of straight-grain pieces, building dexterity as the collar’s visible face.
The illustrious queen-sized Picnic Blanket that accommodates two to three on a beautifully bordered soft molton, spread out over a waterproof underground, and protected from rain by internal lining, with three variant color-panels, interchangeable for setting the surroundings to extend the determined outfits’ mood.
