Yeah it is slightly crooked but it's neither here nor there

long story short, I found this in a shop, somewhere and it was cold at the time, so I wore it. but I also thought it looked cool, so I figured i'd try it on and be a little silly with posing and such.

I’m finally making my dream coat! I’ve been craving the ultimate autumnal/wintery garment to make me excited to face the cold and rain, this 1895 brown wool tweed Inverness coat is it! So far I’ve only ordered the fabric and drafted the pattern from the 1895 Keystone Jacket and Dress-cutter Guide. I shall post the final product when it is completed this autumn!

It started with the concept of a "bed jacket" to keep me super cozy while sitting in bed crafting in winter. After two years of piecing, it's finally in a wearable form!
