Belgian Flax/cotton Checked Coat
Belgian Flax/cotton Checked Coat
Made with hand woven coarse flax linen/cotton textile, dating from the 1940's. The material is hand woven on narrow looms and is dense in structure.
I purchased a length of this textile from a specialist dealer in antique linens from Belgium and Germany and have been saving it for the perfect item.
The fabric itself is Navy blue and Deep red check on an Oatmeal base.
Shawl collar design with Patch Pockets, high side slits, and trimmed with Black 100% cotton binding. Unlined.
Sizing is ONE SIZE fits most. Will fit UK size 10-16
I am 5ft 5.5" and UK size 10/12
Body length from neck seam to hem - 115cm
Width underarm to underarm - 64cm
The drop shoulder fit is designed to be generous and oversize and can be worn with a belt (not included) should you wish.
I would not recommend this size item if you are particularly petite.
Please do get in touch if you have any questions about a coat in particular. I'll be happy to answer your queries before purchasing.
