Since I started getting into clothes, I've heard people say "You can't really tell what a cloth will look like from a swatch, you have to see the whole piece." And I always thought "Anyone who says that is blind. Losers."
Until finally it happened to me.

Manton,
do you think the said Scabal shetland looks better made up than as a swatch or vice versa? I was unsure how my jacket from the same cloth would come out until I saw yours. Now I'm sure it will be superb.

Nice SG. Was that an early test run? I finally ordered mine yesterday, and my heart stopped for a moment when I saw the final total!
What did you make from it? I'm planning a DB car coat with some bells and whistles.

Thanks. I'm thinking 6x3 DB carcoat with big-assed lapels like a glorified peacoat, but with working turnback cuffs (so you can actually unfold them), and a button belt-thingy across the back. But that may be too many busy features on a short coat. Not sure about the pocket configuration yet.
