My client requested many changes to this after this picture was taken.  The final result was not worth taking pictures of.

It is based on an original pattern and is accurate for the period.  The shell is melton wool and the lining is wool serge.  The lacing is machine and hand stitched in place.

Next time don't allow a client to mutilate such fine creations. Pure art.Bravo!
