DescriptionThis is just a video log of restoring a weathered and worn Crombie overcoat. Looking at where it's ripped and torn then evaluating what I can do to fix it up a bit. Keeping it as close to original as possible. I think I made this a video, or well I'm not sure why I did. Maybe some people will have some interest in itMore
This is just a video log of restoring a weathered and worn Crombie overcoat. Looking at where it's ripped and torn then evaluating what I can do to fix it up a bit. Keeping it as close to original as possible. I think I made this a video, or well I'm not sure why I did. Maybe some people will have some interest in it. I used bespoke and production techniques to, I think, improve the overall quality but without it taking a whole week to complete.. just most of a week. 0:00 - Lookover 8:39 - Unpicking 9:37 - Decision making 18:11 - After fitting, and taking the pattern 21:58 - Hem and facing 25:36 - Forward fitting 29:44 - Sleeve and collar 39:04 - Buttons
