I’ve been looking around the interwebs forever trying to look for a solid sith coat and finally came across your coat. So amazing and I wanted to ask if you could make one for me? Do you do custom orders? I’d really really love to own this! It’s so good!

This is really cool. This is something I would see Armani make. If it was me, I would have made a mid-length type of coat for myself.

Ah, WOW! Wearable origami. Fandoms unite! My son said it’s the Matrix meets Star Wars. Then he stopped being able to form actual words. I think you are inspiring him. Cool.

Wouldn’t it? But I can’t if I don’t have a pattern… ;-)

ssssssSSs you look like one of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse dressed as a tramp or minimalist ‘Dharma Bum’ (where is your brown paper bag?) :)You’d be offered the role of Death should the Seventh Seal be remade… Flawless and inspiring as usual

Had a few requests…may just have to give up the pattern….or encourage people to head to my Etsy store!!!

Stop, stop, stop!!! Men’s fashion is immovable, stagnant, predictable. You are upsetting the balance of fashion in the universe, all by yourself. Suddenly draped, slouchy, and innovative styles are even conceivable.
That coat is progressive like the first rain after a drought. How, how, how do you do this and still look manly????

Wo – amazing. What kind of fabric did you use? It looks both warm and thin. And do you have a pattern for that coat? I`d love to sew it for my husband.

Thanks so much. I used a wool that was fine- although the coat is still very heavy, May have to release the pattern as I have had a few requests!

I love it!! Do you wear this coat in everyday life? How do people react on the street when they see you?

Thank you! I did wear it out the other night (it was cold here- hooray!) but I live in near Newtown in Sydney- home of cool, grunge and Goth and nobody bats an eyelid…well maybe a few admiring looks!

my favorite thing about so many of your designs is infinity of different ways to wear them.. this 6 pictures look like 6 different coats, and that’s frigging amazing.. great job don

Thanks so much. You picked up on something that I aim for, which is not found normally in mens fashion, and that is versatility. Thank you.
