"Little Letterman's Jacket" Outerwear
I really loved the challenge of making outerwear, since my goal was to make a really good and REAL looking coat. I think making coats is deceptively difficult, as you end up working with a lot of bulk, and we all know what a coat looks like, so if it is scrunchy and bunchy or lumpy and bumpy, we can all tell it looks wrong! I was inspired by 50's style Letterman's Jackets
This Jacket has a soft wool body, with buttery soft pebbled pleather sleeves and custom made striped ribbing.
