Recommended Fabrics:
- Main Fabric: The Poppy Coat is designed for medium-heavy weight woven fabrics such as wool and wool blends, in coating, melton or boucle styles. The Poppy Coat would also sew up beautifully in medium weight wovens like denim or gabardine. When choosing your fabric, don’t forget to consider what you intend to pair your coat with and how you will clean it when required.
- Lining Fabric: The Poppy Coat is fully lined and careful consideration should be made when choosing a lining fabric to ensure that it will not interfere with the drape of your main fabric. The Poppy Coat will work well with acetate, cupro, silk satin or twill, or rayon lining fabrics. Take care to ensure your lining option is not too lightweight as slippage may occur at the seams.
