Although I designed this coat for those chilly playa nights at Burning Man, it just so happens to be cold in our hemisphere right now. How convenient!
If staying warm is your goal, this is the coat for the job! This fabulous textured rainbow shell is a heavy-duty upholstery fabric. I lined the coat with minky, a soft acrylic fiber that’s commonly used for baby blankets. Put this on and you’ll be snugly all night long.
There are minky pockets set in the side seams, so your chilly fingers will always have a place to hide.
Another fantastic detail is the zipper–it can opened from the top or bottom, meaning you can ride a bike or use the bathroom without removing your fortress from the cold. With both zipper heads pulled to the top, the coat can even be worn as a cape.
The fabric selvedge has such a nice fringe that I used it for the hems.
There’s only ONE Psychedelic Bedouin, so get it quick from my Etsy shop!
Thanks to Mr. Siadek for the great photos!
