Notes	I had made this coat for the wardrobe of my BFF. Made this coat again, now in a different outlook. Made cuffs, as I did enlengthen the sleeves with 8cm, and still these were 6 cm short, thus the cuffs, made in black velour, also the collar, welted pockets and ornamental tab are made in this fabric. Bought this woolen fabric with a special print as a deadstock fabric for only 1 euro per meter, so the coat costed me a whopping total of 3 euro (lining included). As I ran out of black I did line the coat with white colored lining. The upmost labour was made in making 5 welted buttonholes, my fingertips are still sore, as -front + facing + welts + all included interfacing at all these layers (makes 6 layers each buttonhole), not a needle went through it, had to force the needle trough by pushing it at the tabletop. Made the welted buttonholes according the fabric, thus 1 black velour one. It took me endlessly… But happy I persevered. Completed this vintage outlook with 5 original vintage buttons. I do wear this vintage looking coat with a lot of joy!
