To sew this coat, choose fabrics with the following properties:

- medium-weight, durable, non-stretch or low-stretch, opaque

- the fabric content can include natural (wool, cotton, linen), artificial (viscose), blends (man-made silk + polyurethane + elastane, cotton + polyester, cotton + viscose, etc.), and synthetic fibers (polyester + polyurethane, polyester + elastane)

- the following fabrics are recommended: faux leather, denim, corduroy, blended raincoat fabrics, thick cotton gabardine.

Attention! We do not recommend very stretchy knit materials (jersey fabric) and lightweight sheer fabrics (chiffon, stretch lace).

For the lining, choose lining fabrics made of artificial (viscose), blends (viscose + elastane, viscose + polyester), and synthetic fibers (polyester, polyester + elastane).

The coat in the photo is made of faux leather. This fabric is medium-weight, pliable, and has little stretch. The fiber content is a blend of man-made silk, polyurethane and elastane.

The lining is 100% viscose.
