Print and swirls and roses

I still have one more post for the coats special,

so I'll be extending this weeks feature till Monday night.

The coat lining shown below has a use of tones and

the shiney fabric that ensurs its classic look.

Again the buttons were simple,

but the coats inside lining obviously more than

makes up for this and somtimes simple is better.

A very modern looking bit of decor on the lining,

using a combination of thin and thick lines to

create rose motifs that have a sense of movement to them.

The label above is one I have heard of but not seen much of,

so far it's in the good books.

Again photos taken at a charity shop.
The print itself also looks very swirl like,
prahaps taking influence form the use of curling and swirl motifs
used in the present as easy to grab or create motifs used on,
well just about every leaflet, menu and flyer that comes to hand.

Pink grids and Orange weave

Again the whole rows, verticals and horizontals

has got me here. The grid form

with such brilliant precise weave is just fantastic.

It uses a pink coloured grid structure for threads to weave in and out of, leaving enough of it showing so that you can tell straight away the colour.

The button is quote a traditional looking one,

with that brown and cream blending thing going on

that matches with some of the weaved threads. 

The colours include orange as well,
that comes off very light ginger like amongst
the other colours of browns, pinks and the tones.

Better on the inside with weaves

Starting out the first of the cold months coats week with this coat
found in a charity shop,
which has an interesting inside lining,
made up of both plain fabric
and this brilliant hessian like weave.
Its so tactile and interesting,
again begging the question of weave itself in a piece of clothing, bringing to light its importance,
its initial skeleton and character building of the fabric and item of clothing.
Something personally interesting me at the moment in my own work.

The edges of the coat reveal this beautiful weave very quietly,
with it almost edging forward,
falling
onto the front like some dribbling
                                                                                water running down
the inside part of a table leg.

An overall look of the coat,
to me the outside was quite plain and dull and lacked any detailing on the front except for the beautiful creeping weave.
The colour was a dull grey, possibly because of its age,
so I hope perhaps it was better grey when new.
Though maybe it could be carefully dyed?
Though I imagine a nice bit of embroidery in select places could it bring it back to life.

Buttons lets the coat down too, I'm not a fashionista,
but to me buttons are like the part of a coats soul.
So to conclude, in essay like style,
the inside was more interesting than the outside.
Doesn't sound right, does it?
