Dear Ethan,

this is a beauty of an overcoat! Can you say something about the cloth?

Cheers, David

Beautiful coat! I really like the lighter shade of the cloth.

Very unique choice, Ethan. Another delight of going bespoke. I have a couple of old challis Paisley scarves which feel so silky and lush to the touch that would surely make a very luxurious lining.

Ethan

Antonio does it again. That is a great looking overcoat.

Wool challis lining is a great idea.

My Compliments

Cheers

That's a great shoulder line and lapel, Ethan. Really impressed. The lining also sounds like a great idea.
