Custom order just completed. Full-length
unlined cotton coat with specialised hood, in
seam pockets, interior pockets, 'vampire'
collar, French seams throughout and epaulets.
Hood is similar to Altair in the video game Assassin's Creed. Being made of six panels in total and darted at the front gives it a very lean fit around the head and really covers the face.
As a model, my client did a great job.
He is into Parkour, so needed a coat to run and jump in. It has a slight stretch and reinforced seams- although I know he will rip one or two. If you don't know what Parkour is then check the videos.
He was happy. I was happy.

Wow. What a gorgeous jacket. And now I feel so boring. All that jumping and wall climbing and such. How fun. Glad to know people do such wonderful things.
The coat looks terrific and I love your boots, Don.
Way cool! I would love to see a video of the coat in action.
What Jenny said.
I didn't know people really did that. I feel old and tired now.
Great job on the coat Don, super cool, as always. 8-)
Yee Gawds, Don - no i didn't know what Parkour was - flippin' amazing! Terrific photos of an awesome coat. Jaw still dropped here. -sus

That coat is awesome! You did an amazing job - you never fail to impress and inspire me! I'm sure your client will get many double takes from Assassin's Creed fans :-)
un manteau en mouvement..superbe!
Stunning!
I love parkour (to watch, that is) and I love everything about this post! Your latest coat is wonderful :)
Nothing better than a happy client that can also model! Love the coat.
Awesome. I'm a massive AC fan so seeing this and his moves in the photos is just totally awesome. I particularly like how your creations always meld themselves so well to movement... made to move!
So awesome. My man is into Assassin's Creed, so that's what it immediately made me think. Great job!
Neat
great coat for superheroes by a super designer!
Fantastic coat- I love the design. Brilliant photos. Parcour is so inspiring- it looks so free- I'd love to be able to leap around like that, but as one who can fall over my own feet just walking, I don't think I have much chance :D
Mel- Thank! He should turn a few heads.
ELFI-He CAN move!
Bartek- Thanks!
Deborah- Thanks so much. Love to watch those videos too. Amazing.
Valerie- Thank you. The look on his face when finished was great!
Poppy- Thanks SO much. Nice to know it gets the nod of approval from an AC fan.
Buffy- Thanks! Nice to know I hit the mark here.
Loani- Tanko!
MainelyDad- Your too kind!! Thank you.
Dotty- Thank you. I'm with you- all I can think is more broken bones!
The coat looks fantastic, Don!
Wishing you and yours a fabulous holiday season and a prosperous New Year! Health, Happiness and may all of your dreams come true for 2013!
All the very best,
Gaby
What can I say but all of the above & more! I just love your creative designs this coat is way cool! The photography is fabulous too!
I have people on both sides saying:
"No, it's pronounced 'Parker,' because the Japanese couldn't say 'Peter Parker' right and they got this name from Spider-Man."
and
"Par-kour!"
Based on how you spell it, I take it you say "Par-kour?"
Awesome look, as always. And oh, great job on your client ;-)
Gaby- Thanks so much!Best wishes for the new year too!
Denise- Thank you. Nice to be taking photos of my clothes.
a la Modest- Thanks! Without Googling I think I am correct in saying "Par-kour" French word, from where the sport originated.
This is very nice :)
