Zulu War Coat

This is the cutest thing: an 8-year old boy named Phillip commissioned me to make him an army coat this week. Apparently he loves to play dress-up and this is exactly what he wanted for his birthday.

He sent me very specific pictures of the 1879 Zulu War coat he wanted, with a few variations. He even wanted to make sure that he could pick out the fabric and the buttons himself. It might not look so manly on my female mannequin, but Jason just wouldn't fit into this size 8.
