With work on my tv commission occupying a lot of my time lately, I just haven’t had a chance to get any pictures posted of my finished crombie coat.
So for those who have been patiently waiting, here it is!
It’s a deceptively simple coat, with a few clever tricks up its sleeves (forgive the pun).
The notch on the lapels is surprisingly high, making for a very short collar.
Most of the outer seams are flat felted, which is easy to do though a little time consuming to execute.
I’m pretty please how the lining has come out. It’s been worth the effort in getting it woven.
I found the perfect genuine horn buttons to finish the coat off.
Let me know what you think.

excellent Steve! I find the most striking thing about Capaldi's coat are the cut of the lapels and they look spot on!
ReplyDeletelooks like the real deal!!!
ReplyDeletelooks like the real deal !!!
ReplyDeleteYou know way more than I do about all of the costumes, but it looks like the buttons start 7cm too low. Otherwise, it looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI can't say I'm a huge fan of Capaldi's outfit (I find it rather bland and normal looking), but regardless you've captured it perfectly here Steve! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about everyone else but I absolutely love this coat. I hope you make it available to the public. If you did I'll start saving up right now! :)
ReplyDeletehow much would this be if i were to buy one
ReplyDeleteWhat is the difference between this and the S9 navy coat?
ReplyDeleteDiffrence is that the series 9 is the Camel hair jacket, diffrent material plus the lining was a red lining to it. the camel hair is softer to the touch i think to the series 8 material. hope this helps :)
