F.O.: Burgundy red A-line jacket

This A-line coat is another item I made with the yarn I bought a while back and mentioned here, and I have to say I love how it turned out. The yarn is a gorgeous bouclé wool made up of 70% organic wool and 30% alpaca and I wanted to make something that was classic but casual and slightly sixties without being too over the top.
If it looks slightly big on me in the pictures it is because it's a size L so the fit isn't perfect on me.
I love the burgundy/dark dusty pink color and I am so happy I found these perfectly matching plastic buttons, I think the contrast between the shiny buttons and the textured yarn works very well.
In general I think the coat turned out well, I can imagine it worn over a sweater and jeans with booties and a warm scarf for a walk in the city on a fall weekend.

As always, details on my Etsy page...
