This Coat is made from a heavy weight double sided vintage wool blanket with a checked pattern, in Dark Blue and Light Grey. The heavy weight is supple and gives incredible warmth but also a fabulous drape and flow to the coat.
Another Vintage wool blanket is used for the arms and Collar in Dark Blue. This is a slightly lighter weight wool than the body of the coat which actually makes it more comfortable.
Duster Coat style, open front, with side slits. Could be worn with a belt though the belt pictured is not included.
Finished with a vintage black 'frog' fastening at the neck.
There are no pockets, in part not to disturb the 'long line' look of the coat, but also because I wanted this to be as long as possible and I used every last piece of the blanket available.
Trimmed with 100% cotton herringbone tape in Blue for edge binding. Inside seam binding in mixed colours including Bright Orange for fun.
There are some flecks to the blanket and some slight imperfections in keeping with the nature of these materials (but no holes!).
