It's something which has bugged me before but which I've found myself unable to articulate.

I know where I can get some light wool fabric instead of the heavy that that coat uses... And am now trying to get my brain to shut up with the ideas for making such a coat (with a little more tailoring so it fits me), which would have to wait until I have finished the massive pile of mending sitting next to my sewing machine :-P I have this huge urge now to do femme!Capt.Jack
