Technical Jacket project, for this project we where directed to make a jacket using wool, I choose to use charcoal lambs wool from Hanleys woolen mill in Nenagh and petrol pig suede from GH leathers in london. I decided to design and make a mens wear coat. A contemporary finish was very important to me in this jacket, the lapel collar, cuffs and hem are two pieces of pig suede. I applied stay fles to both patterns and than bonded them together with bonda web and top stitched around the edges, the appearance of raw leather was and important feature for me to have in the jacket.
