There seems to be a belief that for a jacket/coat to drape and fit well, and have shape, that either the coat has to have an internal canvas, or that you have to use thick heavy itchy tweed. I would like to say that if the cutter is SKILLED enough, you do not need such things. Below are three jackets from Anna Matuozzo. None are the heavy itchy tweeds (in fact two are cashmere), and none have any internal support - all the shape comes from the way the coat is cut and stitched together. Btw, the jackets are NOT short, it is just the angle of the photo, and don't get on my case about the popped collar.. Anna wanted me to take the photo with the collar in that manner.
Here are some polo shirts that Anna made for a friend of mine . She does not like to make a short sleeve, but he wanted one for the summer. The brown is a merino/cashmere blend, the white is a midweight pique, and the sky blue is a mercerized lightweight pique.
And Matt, especially for you for making me hungry!
