Ok, so unless you’re in a tropical zone right now, you’re probably cold. If you’re fortunate, you’ve got a great coat to keep you warm. If you’re not, you’re no doubt wishing you did. I can help you.

A few posts back I showed off my new custom coat that was done by a local seamstress. I got a lot of emails about it wanting to know if I could be the connection for other people getting them done. I gave it a lot of thought, discussed it with the tailor, and decided to give it a shot. The below 2 pics show the styles that are currently available, although since these are made to order, just about everything is customizable. And I do mean everything.

Now, onto the pricing. Please keep in mind that these are BASE prices. Adding bells and whistles like zippers, extra pockets, and other things will increase the cost. Still, you can see you’re paying just a fraction of the cost of the same quality jacket from a mid-to-upper quality retailer. And it’s custom tailored. One of a kind.

Now, in order to organize all of this, I’ve put together an order form via Google docs that can be accessed here:
Custom Coat Order Form
Once you’ve figured out what you want from the above two pics, you can fill this out, making little notes along the way.

The order form’s last page asks for specific measurements in CM. Here’s a chart to show what those measurements are (the form also describes how to go about measuring yourself).

Anyhow, that’s that. Email me if you’d like to know more:
