Making a Classic 1940s Trench (Casablanca Inspired ✈️)

I made a classic 1940s trench coat in a beautiful vintage Casablanca-inspired style! Using traditional materials and sewing techniques, the coat took me on a journey to get the right fit and to learn a new sewing pattern inside and out!

This video takes you on the adventure of fitting, pad stitching a collar in traditional bespoke style, and ultimately how I styled the trench coat to get a Casablanca-inspired 40s look.
