This is what I would like to look like... in an ideal world where you could ride your bicycle to work in any kind of clothes (I do love my little red 1951-bicycle!).
Maybe it would work for me as a jacket rather than a coat... I think my
Marian Martin-pattern might work to create somethin similar, or at least as inspiration.
I would omit the fur on the sleeves, but the fur-collar is a great idea, don't you think?
I also really like the hat. Another hat that totally makes me want to wear hats is minnithemink's
Lanvin bonnet. Only I almost always wear a bike-helmet (I wish they looked like hats instead!).
The image above is from 1932, and I found it at
My Vintage Vogue.
I love this picture and I REALLY love your Marian Martin pattern! It might work to create a shorter jacket from that pattern. The cuff detail is amazing....
