For all our outerwear garments we have 3 types of add on options you can select from. You can add a double layer hood, add a left side patch pocket (that also works when worn upside down – honestly its so cool!) and a left shoulder strap and buckle fastening (that also works when work upside down – we know this is a whole other level of multi-size magic!)
• Size – Made to Measure all the way! Your coat will be made to order, then despatched within 2 weeks of the fabric being woven during the 4 X A Year batch period.
• Bust – we require your bust size to ensure that you have just the right amount of fabric to play with as you wrap up in this unique multi-way coat.
• Shoulder to Shoulder – we require this measurement to ensure that you have a generous amount of space for our off the shoulder design to be comfortable with a few layers on :)
• Collar Type – the standard collar is 10” in height, basically its like a huge scarf funnel attached to your coat. The double fold collar is 5” in height, it’s a double X double layer collar that has a don’t mess with me weight. The half fold collar is also 5” in height but it has just one double layer therefore more fluid than the double fold collar.
• Arm Size – we have allowed for a 4/5” ease on our straight arm sizes, please just select the maximum bicep size you would prefer. The length of the straight arm is 15.75”, this is from sleeve top to cuff
• Item Finishing – Each Coat has a branded real leather label carrying the mark of the rebelmaker, Prickly Thistle
• Fabric Design - Black Elements, a new limited edition design interpretation of our Elements tartan. We have gone back to black, and grey.... mirroring the 4 shades used in each element tartan we have created this edgy and very rebellious black beauty!
• Weave Design - woven to our unique and in-house created technical shadow twill. Creating an eye catching ribbed affect, our shadow weave adds rebellious body!
• Fabric Repeat – all fabric has been cut by hand from the cloth roll woven at our mill, therefore aspects of the repeat will be unique to each item, which is pretty cool as it makes them all unique!
• Colour Options - Black and dark grey hues
• Fabric Weight Options - Lightweight to wear with a densely woven thread count. This is a truly fine merino wool wonder!
