First up, his wool coat. I know many would say I was crazy for considering wool - hard to clean, itchy etc. The wonderful thing about wool is that it cleans itself; those oily little natural fibres resist dirt and smears and seam to shake off the brunt of what is thrown at them. The pattern was developed on the go and the coat itself changed a lot throughout the process - starting as a peacoat. The lining is satin, which is not so very dirt resistant, but smooth; making it easy to put on. The buttons are various colours of leather.
