Navy Cashmere leather long collared winter coat anagrassia quilted lining

Thank you Tess & Gigi for taking these photos on our walk last week. Photography by Anastassia I always knew “Croc” would remain one of my best friends after col­lege.

They are easy to make and require very lit­tle fab­ric (obvi­ous­ly), so I’m not real­ly sure why it took me so long to make one. Per­haps it’s because of my taste for poly­ester swimsuits. Grow­ing up, my sis­ters and I went through so many lycra swim­suits, because they would fade in just a few weeks from the chlo­rine and sun....

Michael’s Pink and Gray Formal Vest for Graduation & Birthday
Marusya

“Thanks to the girls in his life, this dash­ing young man looked sharp for his 8th grade graduation!”   I love menswear!
