Fabric Recommendations:
For the quilt batting coat version, you’ll need a main fabric, lining, and batting fabric. Choose medium to heavy-weight materials like cotton canvas for the main fabric, 5.3–7.5oz/180–250 gsm batting (preferably natural fibres such as wool, cotton, or bamboo, or recycled polyester), and batiste or other breathable yet durable fabrics for the lining. For the unlined jacket version, choose heavyweight fabrics with non-toxic waterproof treatments. Feel free to experiment with wool, plush fabrics, or twill for added texture and style.
The sample coat is made in “Leafly Bold Bottle Green Canvas” (100% cotton, 11.80 oz/400 gsm) by METERMETER. The wool fleece batting (85% new wool, 15% polyester, 5.3 oz/180 gsm) is by Ecological Textiles and the lining is from the designer’s stash. For the coat drawstring, we used 0.6"/1.5 cm wide natural tubular ribbon (100% organic cotton) by Ecological Textiles. The jacket version is made in dark green water-repellent canvas (100% organic cotton, 8.9 oz/300 gsm) by Ecological Textiles. The zippers are by METERMETER.
