This is 21 wale corduroy, so not an exact match to what you’re proposing. I interlined with flannel and lined with quilting cotton, and the coat as a whole definitely does have more drape than the version I made out of wool coating, but it’s held up well (the photo is from ODS, and YDS probably wore it for the last time this winter, 10 years…[Read more]
