- Black Wash 8 oz Denim - A classic denim to play up the jean jacket look of this coat. The black wash will lighten over time to a nice grayish hue, and the medium weight is structured yet soft and flexible. Contrasting topstitching will make the details of the jacket shine. If you're looking for a traditional worker's jacket, look no further!
- Earth Magic Dark Green Floral Canvas - While this fabric may be a bold choice for this jacket, I couldn't get the print out of my mind. The floral, a medium scale with the large blooms about 2-3" across, is reminiscent of vintage wallpaper, yet feels modern and new. The nontraditional print contrasts with the classic styling of the jacket, and the soft canvas keeps the coat flexible and wearable. For a one of a kind jacket, this is the fabric for you!
