Is your loved one ready for Fall and Winter? Mine is…
This almost completed overcoat is a 2 x 1 DB shawl collar with a removable belt.
The tweed is a 1980s vintage, 21 ozs, large format, black and white Houndstooth from Hunter’s of Brora.
Cheers
M Alden

Good heavens Michael! that check is huge! BTW are you sure it is shepherd's check? Looks like good ol' houndstooth to me.
Sorry I had to mention that. Lol

Something puzzles me about that OC, but not the huge houndtooth pattern. Has the photo been reproduced as a mirror image? I thought the coat should close the other way round.

Marcelo,
I believe it is a coat for a lady -- hence the right-over-left buttoning.

Indeed, it explains
everything - not only the right-over-left buttoning.

Fall must be late where the Aldens spend the last months of the year. On this thread, Michael says it is a Christmas present -
