Now it is time to see how these compare to the real thing . . .
Fabrics 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 11
This week I sent a batch of swatch samples to my friends who own the original screen-worn Six Frock Coat for them to compare for me.
They took some pictures and gave me their comments.
Here’s what they had to say.
Purple Felt
(Fabric 2) - Top left
Looks very good
Green Felt
(Fabric 3) - Top right
Too light as expected
Peach Wool
(Fabric 4) - Middle left
Too pinky. Needs to be more orangey
Red Felt
(Fabric 5) - Middle right
Looks very good
Yellow Lapel
(Fabric 7) - Bottom left
Looks good
Pink Felt (Fabric 11) -
Bottom right
Looks too bright
This is very promising and as I expected. The Purple Felt (Fabric 2), Red Felt (Fabric 5) are definitely signed off; the Yellow Lapel (Fabric 7) needs a little more work; and the Green Felt (Fabric 3) and Peach Wool (Fabric 4) need to be revisited.
I have an idea on the Pink Felt (Fabric 11), so check back soon.
