Bespoke peacoat in the works

[soren]

Dear all,

Thank you so much for your very kind comments, I will have some photos taken as soon as the opportunity arises!

For Michael I can inform that the overlap is 15 cm. from buttonhole to buttonhole so your eye judgement is not far off

Best,
Soren

When are we going to see this great coat on you? Isn't it cold enough yet up there?

Cheers

[soren]

Oh yes, cold it is! But it's also dark, and I find myself at work all light hours of the day But I shall do my very best to have some photos taken, and rest assured that I enjoy my coat tremendously – it is just so practical for the cold mornings on the bike!

Standing in the elevator today I realized that I still haven't had the photos taken that I promised. In the mean time I hope you can make do with this very bad iPhone shot. I promise proper photos will come!

A true work of craft. Hats off to you and your tailor.

[soren]

Thank you so much for your kind words Frank, much appreciated - especially when they come form you!

On the last day of the year I realised that I still hadn't delivered on my promise to show some fit pics of my peacoat (or whatever it is). Unfortunately the light was really bad, but I nevertheless hope it will give you an idea about how it looks. It might need some further adjustments but I still haven't decided yet.

The only upside of the weather was the chance to pair the coat with pants made from heavy 20 oz W. Bill cotton and boots in zug grain, shealing lining and veldtschoen construction

Cheers,
Soren

Quite a wonderful jacket Søren. It balances both the formal and informal beautifully. The rest of the ensemble is great too!

Dear Soren,

this looks phantastic, congratulations! As for the "bad light", there is a simple explanation: this colours extremely difficult to photograph. So no worries

Cheers, David

FAB!

Thanks for posting, you wear it well!

Cheers

[soren]

Gentlemen, thank you so much for your very kind words! Indeed I think it actually hits a sweet spot between formal and informal. I have used it with a suit and tie underneath (admittedly the coat is a bit too casual for that, but I still like to think I looked better than my colleague who wore a wind breaker over his suit), and in the morning I enjoy the option to button the right lapel across my chest to close off all wind. And of course turn up the reversible collar

Best,
Søren

PS: The only thing I'm still not too pleased about is the buttons. I think I would prefer some more rustic buttons (my tailor chose these for me), though I would definitely still prefer horn buttons. But who knows, they might grow on me and will probably save the decision for when I bring it in for adjustments after the first season of service
