After we launched the spring Oliver + S patterns we heard from quite a few of you who wanted to know about the fabrics we used for the Secret Agent Trench Coat<\/a>. We were already in the process of working on this for you (we know you pretty well!), but it’s taken a while to get more of the fabric. At last, I have an update.<\/p>\n

The exactly fabric we used for S’s trench coat (a coated natural flax-color linen) that appears in this blog post<\/a> doesn’t seem to be available any more, but the tan-colored linen our little size 3 model wore is now back in stock at Mood! Actually, Mood has three great coated linens that I think you’ll like:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The top swatch in this scan is linen that seems to be printed with a bright yellow, which is then coated with a white laminate. The process gives a very cool result–sort of a weathered yellow color. Swatch number 2 above is our tan-colored linen from the photo shoot. And the bottom swatch is a coated white.<\/p>\n

All these are really nice fabrics with a great hand, perfect for kids’ trench coats. And you’ll be excited to hear that they’re $14\/yard. To purchase, you need to call my friend Todd at Mood Fabrics<\/a>\u00a0(212-730-5003). He’s in the woolens department on the fourth floor and can hook you up. Be forewarned: there isn’t a lot of any of these fabrics on the roll, so don’t delay. Mood is always getting new interesting fabrics in stock, so I’ll let you know if I see anything else I think you’d like for this pattern.<\/p>\n

Next up, some laminated linen from the terrific folks at Gray Line Linen<\/a>:<\/p>\n

This coated linen comes in one more color in addition to the navy and red in the scan, and S swears that it’s yellow. I thought I remembered a blue, but we were power shopping that morning, so I can’t say for sure.\u00a0(We hit seven stores in one hour before we had to go to a meeting! There was a lot to keep track of that morning, including S, who was on a hunt for Swatch, the dog, at Mood.) Anyway, these fabrics are lighter and a bit more papery in feel than the linens from Mood. I think this is their handkerchief linen, which is why they’re so light, but I was in too much of a rush to ask at the time. You can contact Gray Line by phone at 866-585-4636\u00a0for details and to purchase the fabric which is selling for $13\/ yard. (Can you believe these great prices?)<\/p>\n

So if you’ve actually been waiting for this information, here it is at last. I hope it helps!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
