Description

THIS COAT IS RESERVED FOR HALEMSMIMI - IF THAT IS NOT YOU PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IT. I WILL BE POSTING MORE SOON! THANKS!!

This is a luscious and lovely patchwork coat made from a striking variety of vintage and upcycled sweaters.The bodice is thick, warm felted black wool. There are many textures of nutty light brown with stylish patterned accents. The looong hood is super fun, and you can even sort of play it like a scarf.....There are pretty metal buttons and oodles of charm

There are a lot of great textures and patterns happening in this jacket. The pointy hood and full swooshy bottom are quite playful, while the overall effect is warm and cuddley. It has the ever popular thumbholes.

It is a size Medium, maybe large, with cute metal buttons. *one size fits most*

35" BUST
42" LONG

Enjoy!

I make lots of funky, reconstructed sweaters out of recycled materials. I am forever combing thrift stores to find the most interesting fabrics to use. Each sweater is a unique work of art, made while I rock out to weird music and sing off key. I like to think that a little crazy happiness gets woven into each creation.

I encourage you to have a look at my website - www.katwise.com. I have all sorts of clothes there - funky pants, lovely dresses, embroidered everything, plus lots of amazing tales, like the time I hitchhiked to Timbuktu.
All proceeds go to fund my haphazard world travels, and to ensure that my free spirit never has to sit behind a desk, unless it is to write an autobiography off all the craziness I have lived. - Inshallah!

***RAndOM THOUGhTS ABouT MY STUfF THAT YOU MaY CARE TO REad BEfoRE BUYING**

Due to the unending variation of the knits I use, a lot of the stuff has a little more, um, *personality* that stuff you would buy at a regular store By that I mean don't be shocked if not every seam is 100% perfectly symmetrical. I prefer character and whimsy, and I hope you do too.

A lot of my creations, in particular coats and dresses with full skirts, have a bit of extra flounce and bounce at the beginning, due to the combining of all different weight sweaters. I find that after a few wearing the knits tend to relax a bit and hang nicer.

Each item is rather unique in terms of its feel and stretch and size and so forth.

I try to use only the softest, yummiest natural knits to construct my whimsical creations. I dislike scratchy stuff, so that is rare - but if you are extra sensitive, feel free to convo me before purchasing if you are concerned about the itch factor of a particular item.

I try to make everything *one size fits most* but you are super tiny or extra large, you are welcome to contact me about how well this pair might fit you.

I put all sweaters in the washer and dryer before sewing with them to get most shrink out of the way. But to be safe you ought to hand wash cold and dry flat.

Please read my POLICIES page if you have any questions about shipping/care/refunds etc.... Thanks!

*phew* did you really read all that??
