    Finding fabric for trench coat project

    Thank you so much for your effort and help. I agree, the fabric in my link does seem a little rough and lack the elegance of a mens coat. I follow a pattern in the somewhat famous coat pattern book by Ryuichiro Shimazaki. I would like my fabric to look as close as the one on the pictures.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    They look amazing. I googled "Frye Sutton mid lace boots" and the result wasn´t anything like yours. Perhaps it´s the high shine and delux laces that does the trick? Best whishes

It seems that i´m between sz40 and 42. Corderoy lined pockets would be nice but Kersey wool is a must I think. The newly...
