MATERIALS / COAT FABRICS
Before the coat,
the cloth.
Surface, drape and weight shape how a coat will feel and fall. Start with the fabric direction you have in mind; we will work through the development with you.
FABRIC REFERENCE 01
Give the silhouette its starting point.
Bring a reference for the volume and movement you want. We can discuss the fabric direction alongside the shape of the coat.
Discuss this fabric direction
FABRIC REFERENCE 02
See the surface in the light.
A close view helps begin the conversation about texture and appearance. Physical samples are the next step in deciding how the material should feel.
Discuss this fabric direction
FABRIC REFERENCE 03
Where the surface meets the detail.
A pocket opening or finished edge is where fabric and construction come together. Consider them as part of the same product, not as separate decisions.
Discuss this fabric directionImage reference numbers, not stock codes. Composition and other specifications are confirmed for the selected material.

directions.
Begin with the fibre, then develop the surface and structure around the coat.
Tell us the fabric
you have in mind.
Share a reference, an intended feel or a coat silhouette. There is no need to have every specification decided before we start.
