I usually don't wear a coat when it's very wet; it's usually so dry here in the winter. But, it's true, I should heed that. And I wouldn't terribly mind a wool lining, so long as it doesn't irritate my skin (which it seems to be starting to do, alas!).A.

I like that look better, and have used it on several coats. <br /><br />Cotton is a bad lining for winter - it gets cold if damp,and does not keep the cold out. There are interlinings for coats made from wool, that helps a good deal. But if you really want a warm coat, having a wool lining as well is the best. No other material can compare to it (except other wool-like materials, like alpacka and such). It will make the coat a tad more difficult to put on though, as your arms won't slide into the sleeves.Sarah Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04095151411363232281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110986536825447894.post-12519130421953919232017-01-20T09:39:10.900+01:002017-01-20T09:39:10.900+01:00Thank you :)Thank you :)Sarah Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04095151411363232281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110986536825447894.post-75492511366963951852017-01-18T19:13:11.896+01:002017-01-18T19:13:11.896+01:00This is fantastic!

Very inspiring, as I wish to make a coat someday (it may happen far into the future, as I'm still learning sewing and I want it to be well-made).<br /><br />I'm curious (as the pictures aren't very large) if it is possible for you to draw a diagram of construction/where seams are (actual seams; not the piecing) and what it looks like under the pelerine? I am trying to learn how people make coats, and yours looks excellent: as you said, expensive, well-made, as opposed to how lots of home-made coats can turn out. I suppose it's kind of princess seamed? And what shape are the sleeves? Coat sleeves, or something more plain and straight?<br /><br />I also really love the hood. I probably would like a hood, though maybe detachable, or perhaps I'd have a capelet with hood on it to where when I need that, and the coat be separate. That's another thing to figure out.<br /><br />The problem with modern wool coats is that they line them in plasticky stuff that makes you freeze (in cold Minnesota weather, where it gets very cold and dry for at least some of the winter), and only one layer of woolly stuff on top of that. I think I may try to reline my current coat with cotton, although I'd probably just put that over the lining, as to get that out would require taking the whole coat apart. I suppose if I really wanted to try that, though, I could do it this summer... except I forever have the ambition of concocting a coat by the next winter. ^.^ Also- coats ought to be longer, and plenty to be shapely like yours. The wind loves to find your legs and freeze them to numbness (so I made very long legwarmers).<br /><br />(Sorry for long commentness!)A.

Tycker alltid det känns som en liten extra accomplishment när man inte bara går ut och köper allt man kan behöva utan använder lite (mycket!) kreativitet för att se hur det går att lösa. :) Väldigt fint jobb!
