The story

The 18th Century Frock Coat is a deeper study in shape than most workshop projects.

Long skirts, structured fronts, cuffs, and period proportion all have to work together without turning the piece into a fragile display object.

The build is still being worked through at the bench, with fit and movement leading the decisions.
