Different ways to make The Forest Coat

 

The Forest Coat might be small but it packs a punch. Here’s a run through of the multiple possibilities available to you.

The OG Forest Coat!
This version is how it was designed. A reversible jacket with a detachable hood. Pockets on the outside, ears on the inside.

No Hood
No hood? No problem! The coat has a cute little standing collar if you prefer to leave the hood off.

Contrast Cuteness
Why not flip the pockets and contrast them to match the cuff details? And while you’re at it, flip the hood too! You can change the hood whenever you fancy! Ears or no ears? Hmmm which to choose!

Mini Minimalist
You could always pare it right back and leave the pockets and the hood off. A sleek and simple coat for your little mini minimalist. Go a step further and even leave the zip off for cute little open front coat.
