Anything that can go into a pocket does go into a pocket. Keys, phone, trash to throw away when I am near a trash bin, screws, paperclips, coins, buttons, combs, pens, pencils, sunglasses, gloves, hats, scarves... you get the idea.

Does Gee possess a hat? (Possibly on my mind because I’m in the throes of getting together a hat for one of my outfits.). They can be quite useful in defining a character, and also useful, if brimmed, for keeping the sun out of your eyes!

I’m a huge cape fan😂 I love how yours drape. Much much nicer than I expected with fabric that thick and that many layers. I haven’t seen much with actual wool due to a combination of pricetag and allergies. Possibly my inexperience with the fabric is why I was surprised by how lovely it draped.

This is the first time I've run across your channel and it's so interesting to see your coat design becoming reality. Your sewing and patterning techniques are very instructive making me want to try my hand at actually sewing a dress instead of just heading off to walmart. The capes drape beautifully. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for explaining why NOT a removable cape. As soon as you said it, I loved the idea. But yeah... I'd probably be unsatisfied with the result of that too. The "can unpick it w/o damaging the garment" option is a fantastic option for maximum longevity.

LOVE the capes! They provide a more masculine silhouette while adding some whimsy. They look quite heavy though, so I wouldn't want to wear them myself. 😅

Lovely! And as someone who lived through the late 90s with convertible everything, I whole heartedly agree with the choice to not button on the capes- a convertible item just means that the one way you wear it 90% of the time is that much worse to accommodate the concessions for the other way it is worn 10% of the time.

Actually, they have reprinted "The Cut of Men's Clothes" as an eBook only in 2023. Which is annoying for us who like print books. Love the capes... well done. :)

I love the accordion fold trick for laying out a long stretch of fabric. Thank you. That coat is everything. Every excuse, any hint of chill in the air, and on goes that coat. Absolutely brilliant. And? All the capes. All the time... most excellent. The contrasting lining is lovely.

Yay capes! I agree, it looks much better with them. And I very much relate to being too opinionated to do polls for projects. Every time I think about doing a poll I end up realizing that I already know how I want to do the thing in question.

Not me opening my preferred historical fabric store in another tab to see if there would be something delectable for a cape lining, but especially in something that it would look really good to toss the cape across one shoulder so the lining shows... Yay capes!

Love the capes! Very Georgette Heyer. :) I feel like they need to come a lot closer to meeting in the front however? The bulk of them looked almost uneven in the reveal, like there was more fullness on one shoulder than the other.
