To sew this coat choose coating fabrics that are structured, low- or non-stretch.
The fiber content may be 100% wool or may include artificial (e.g. viscose) or synthetic fibers (polyester, elastane, acrylic, etc.).
Choose plain-colored or mélange fabrics, with short or medium pile or without pile.
We do not recommend choosing printed fabrics (such as check), since it will significantly increase fabric requirements and will complicate the sewing process due to pattern matching.
We recommend the following fabrics: cashmere, alpaca, wool coating, bouclé, melton wool.
The recommended fabric weight is 350–600 g/m2.
The coat in the photo is made of coating wool. The fabric is medium weight, non-stretch, structured, and has a short pile. The fiber content is a blend of wool and polyester.
The coat is reinforced with fusible interfacing.
Attention! We do not recommend fabrics with the following properties:
- very stretchy, lightweight, loosely woven, soft, non-structured.
For the lining, choose lining fabrics made of viscose, viscose + elastane, or viscose + polyester. The lining fabric should be smooth, opaque, pleasant to the touch, non- or low-stretch.
