There’s something special about sewing with beautiful fabric — especially when it’s a luxury piece saved for the perfect project. This green wool coat was just that — and finished just in time for winter. This gorgeous green wool and cashmere was purchased from The Fabric Store some years ago — one of the last pieces of Lisa Ho fabric they sold.
A half canvas - applied to the upper part of the garment - provided additional structure. A narrow strip of tape was applied along the edges of the coat opening to help them hold their shape.
For the under collar, a traditional wool melton was used - it gives the collar weight and body, rather than using another layer of the bulky green wool
A beautiful mid-weight Italian lining from Tessuti was chosen to work with the weight of the coat fabric. A lighter lining was used for the sleeves.
