Coats are one of my favourite garments because they are pretty and there isn't a maximum to how many you can own. Coats are important when the weather is chilly, they're the garment which people will see you in most of the time. I've been wanting to make an 18th century coat for some time now to use as an everyday fall and spring coat. I've been thinking about a male overcoat form the Napoleonic wars but I doubt the silhouette would look so flattering over modern day clothing.

I then stumbled upon some rather stunning riding habits and decided that they would make a better coat for me.

| 1750 I like how it's fuller in the back. |
| 1760 I really like the silhouette and the pockets |
I got Reconstructing history's early 1700's riding habit pattern and a woll fabric as a Christmas present.
 |
| Sooo exited to use one off their patterns |

| The fabric from Korps |
Neither the fabric or the pattern has arrived yet and I haven't done a sketch either. I don't know if I'm going to do lapels or go without and I'm a bit scared but very exited about making my first coat.
