I use boiled wool for the body and similar color wool flannel for the sleeve. It’s a gift for our 5th anniversary. Boiled wool do have a little bit of stretch, it’s not too hard to work with. I really like the result turn out.

My DH just love it. He dosen’t want to take it off! Acturly I used a whole afternoon to do the cutting and sewing. I hand-sew the lining. I guess all my hard work was really worth it.
