Not many words, really. Just the photos. I'm proud of it. It isn't mine, and I nearly tear up at the thought of having to part with it.
As detailed in my previous post, the fabric was purchased at Rosen & Chadick (double faced wool), Metro Textiles (lining), fur (NY Elegant) and zipper (Botani). I hand sculpted this jacket. No pattern.
Many hours, lots of sweat, tears... a bit of blood, too. I took no shortcuts, and it was commissioned by a beloved friend/client, so I hope she loves it as much as I do!
Keep warm, everyone... and happy Thanksgiving!

| A magical, warm lining... this jacket is for cold Michigan winters! |
 |
| To carry the weight of the hood on the shoulders while keeping the fur away from the neck, I created a "rolled stand" (my own term), and made the edges of the hood angle upwards (away from the collar), so it wouldn't be too confining.) |
