Blue Coat


 When our son was in the last couple years at school, he needed a new coat. We looked online to see what was available. There were dark blue/black ones available in the type of coat he wanted, but also a VERY blue one, considerably cheaper. He felt it was a no brainer - get the cheaper one. 

Some seven or eight years later he still wears it. I was at his house the other day and saw it hanging among the more sober coats near the door and had to draw it. It was like a gang. And the blue coat had a kind of leadership role.

I like how the print has gone. Something of the Daniel Richter about it with its slightly threatening vibe, I think. It's a 5-layer reduction print in 2 shades of blue. 3 layers in the lighter blue and two in the blue-grey.
