Readers may remember my last soft coat<\/a> which was the first prototype for a model which became very popular. So when it was recently suggested that I might want to attend a certain event in Atlanta in the next few weeks, I decided it was as good an excuse as any to make another soft coat- they are particularly fond of soft, rounded shoulders in the deep south and I don’t have much clothing for that kind of weather.<\/p>\n

\"DB4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The coat has a self-cloth facing, and I used cotton pocketing for the yoke and trimming. Bemberg in the sleeve.<\/p>\n

\"Yoke\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is no haircloth or chest piece and no shoulder pad- only the front canvas and some light felt to cover it.<\/p>\n

\"Shoulder\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is how thick the shoulder construction is, which has been done in the “spalla camicia” style<\/p>\n

\"Shoulder2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

which gives this soft, round, slouchy look.<\/p>\n

\"Shoulder3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m sure somebody knows the name for this kind of jigger shank- I don’t know how to call it. Anyone?<\/p>\n

\"Jigger\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since I won’t make many coats in this colour, I ordered the small 10m spools of silk buttonhole thread from Tristan<\/a>, in BC, Canada. As far as I know it is the only source in Canada for buttonhole silk in small quantities, and they are the exclusive North American distributor for Tre Stelle<\/a>‘s Bozzolo silk. It has a nice sheen to it and is worth trying out.<\/p>\n

EDIT- I got the following message on another post- We are a sister company to Tristan Italian threads. We are the US importers of Cucirini Tre Stelle thread from Milan, Itay. The Seta Bozollo silk is a 24 wt thread that comes on a 11 yd spool. Our shopping cart is www.carmenwarehouse.com or catalog is www.GilbreathThreads.com<\/p>\n
