Count Monterone (Black Coat):

This coat was made from a polyester and flatlined with a black broadcloth. There is a canvas front to give it shape and structure. On top of cutting this garment, I guided the stitchers on proper assembly and finish.

Chorus Court Jacket :

Careful focus was utilized in the cutting of this jacket in order to get a visually pleasing pattern match in the front and back of the garment. The fashion fabric was flatlined to a red twill. No lining was added, but a red polyester lining was added to the tails.
