I made my son a Melton wool coat but used fleece instead to line it. Thanks for suggesting the quilting cotton as a lining as it would be less bulky and more professional looking. Awesome lining vest you have incorporated. I'm definately using this pattern for winter. Wow, fabulous. I made my son a Melton wool coat but used fleece instead to line it.

Yes, the blue is a slightly darker shade of the Oliver + S blue, and we used the brown intentionally because we'll show this sample at trade shows, etc. Likewise the brown and blue polka-dotted raincoat. Might as well color-coordinate for maximum impact, right? Alright, you caught me, April.

On my computer monitor the color of the coat matches your Oliver + S banner - and the brown, it's the hint of brown that your site has, too. Did you plan for that or was that your subconscious doing the fabric shopping? It's brilliant either way. OHmygoodness… it just dawned on me.
