This Coat was a project in my patternmaking course at university. We did a pattern for coats and sleeve attachments (don´t know if that´s the right expression in english). We don´t do much thinks in my size normally so i thought it´s time for a ridiculous crazy military-like coat just for me! My teacher said it would look like the count from sesamestreet when it was finished, because of the shapes and colors, splendid i thought and named the coat after the Count :) Description please? Here it is: raglan sleeves that are covered with some kind of scales at the shoulder, big lapels at the seam ruffles at the back and upper front pleats at the lower front the lower part of the coat is assymmetric the whole coat is departed at the waist by a rolling belt (which is inserted between upper and lower front) concealed button panel small stand-up collar shell fabric is black wool lining is purple polyester double piped pockets with wing-like flap at the back there´s a lapel like trenchcoats have but mine is shaped like a bat I bought the fabrics for 10 euros per metre (the wool) and 2 euros per metre (lining), buttons were 1 euro each, ta-da - a selfmade, unique coat for approx. 30€!!! The whole pattern and sewing i made by myself!
