We see so many Chanel-style jackets in K-Dramas that it started to seem like this is an essential element for any collection of coats, so I made one.
The color of the fabric is very practical (goes well with jeans), but the weave has a relatively subtle design. Adding a chevron motif to the construction gave it a little more character.
I included some classic Chanel elements (quilting the lining and weighting the hem with a chain) but went my own way with welt pockets, bound buttonholes, and facings made of the main fabric.
A very basic trim was available in a good color and I kept adding layers of embellishments until the overall design seemed appropriate for the fabric. Bound buttonholes were made using edges of the trim for lips.
The lining of the jacket is hand-quilted throughout following the stripes of the fabric.
