Good Buy/ Goodbye: Fall Coats

 The theme this month for Shelbee and Nancy's Good Buy/Good Bye Book is "lightweight" fall coats.

This specimen is a fun jacket created by an Otis Fashion student back in the late '90s.
I think the mentor was the skate/surf company Gotcha.
[Are they still in buisness? YES! Well played, dudes!]

It was designed to fit a male model, and I am swimming in it.
Hey, at least it still fits (unlike the leopard leggings, which barely covered my butt).
It's been languishing in my closet, and I'm on the fence whether to offer it on Poshmark to set it free.
Looks cute in the photos, so maybe not!

The Gotcha designer's direction for the students was to create a look wherein the majority of the fabric elements had handwork alterations (dyeing, painting, etc).

The exterior cow print plush fabric was overdyed with yellow and green.

The back spider graphic is metallic bronze paint on black microfleece

The interior lining is tie dyed

Ha! The more I type, the more I want to keep it...
Maybe I'll wear it zipped up as a tunic!
