Every Captain needs a good coat
That coat is just sexy. If a coat can be sexy. If coast can't be sexy. Then It's just groovy.
I'm quite pleased with it. It was a pain in the pì-gu to make, but turned out pretty much how I wanted it to.
I was trying to capture that 'versal feel with it, but still staying away from a certain BDM's coat design.
I liken it to the idea that the same company might have made both coats, but they're very different styles ;)
The cut is kind of reminicent of a Confederate junior officer's frock coat (at first glance). But then I got a better look at it. I like the coat's look--like it belongs on some hard-bitten merchantman on the Rim.
I could never have sewn that, I'm so glad that you took your costume by the jugular... Hey! I can see Troy’s bed :)
Just the right combination of newness and oldness. Perfect!
