It's been a while since we last saw a Prisoner Coat. The inspiration for this is a coat that was once sold in second-hand shops under the name "Prisoner Coat."
The front is offset like the N-1, and the large D-pocket is easy to put your hands in. The change from the same model we made previously is the silhouette.
The patterns I made a long time ago are very compact. They look good, but they feel cramped when I wear them now.
So, to achieve the same feeling of throwing on an outdoor jacket in winter, the width and armholes are loose. If you wear a shirt and a Yonetomi rigid cashmere underneath, there's plenty of room. The RAF Sweater is also roomy. But when you wear an Aran knit, the armpits are tight and it's just too hot. (When wearing an Aran knit, the gabardine of the A Foggy Day Coat is better.)
The check pattern is a WORKERS original. It is 14.7 oz. and has a slightly brushed surface. The original material is wool from old used clothes. It is a fabric that is thick and sturdy, but slightly flexible and easy to wear.
I usually use cupra for the lining of the sleeves, but this year, I changed to polyester twill because the raw yarn was not available at all due to a fire at a material manufacturer. However, today's synthetic fibers are so good that you can't tell they are synthetic at first glance, and they are very smooth. There is almost no static electricity. My preconception that synthetic fibers crackle was a memory from my childhood.
The lining of the body is cotton twill. If we used a synthetic fiber that is so smooth, it would lose its WORKERS feel.
The buttons are made by the Waterbury button company, imported from the United States.

It's looser and more comfortable than the same model from a few years ago, but still has a simple look and is easy to wear. There are fewer jacket styles, so if you're looking for a coat that can be easily worn over a sweatshirt or sweater, this is the one for you. We love this prisoner coat, and we have declared that we will not be making any coats next season, so we are stocking up as much as we can for Spiral. We have all the colors, so if you want other colors, please wait a while or contact us.
