I don't like the coat but I like everything it's doing.

I think it's mostly about the background color of the flamingo cloth, I don't have a favorite color but I have a least favorite and this is close.

What's going on with the cuffs? are they elastic? I think the way they bunch up doesn't fit the style of the coat very well. I think a cuff that stays the same width along it's length without bunching up would fit the straight fit style of the coat much better.

You're next coat is going to be really nice. If you made four of these the I bet that fourth one would be the kind of thing that would get endless positive notice.

This must be very satisfying.

The cuffs are made of ribbed knit, and for a bomber jacket, they are supposed to look something like this

Problem is, I cut the sleeves too long and cuffs too short, so the fabric does kind of bunch up at the end.

Lots of learning moments from this, for sure
