The George jacket

One of one

A tailored jacket in George cloth, gold thread catching light

The idea

Take the cloth out of the box. Cut it. Build something a body can carry through an ordinary day — not a costume for the one occasion a year the George is allowed out, but a jacket, for Tuesday. Every cut is a decision that cannot be taken back, which is the whole point of cutting inherited cloth at all.
