Mushroom hood?
January 7, 2018 2:30 PM Subscribe
I'm trying to identify a coat I saw on the street in Portland. It was gray wool with a large, very tactile herringbone pattern, cut in a loose a-line. The most striking thing about it was the hood lining, which was red felted wool with raised white nubs in it -- like an Amanita muscaria mushroom.
It was such a charming and yet polished and practical coat -- I wish I'd asked the woman wearing it where she'd got it! I have a feeling it was bought on Etsy or in some fancy local boutique, but the search terms are failing me. Maybe it's a more mainstream item than I think, and someone here has seen it?

There’s a good possibility she put in the lining herself. If you can find the coat (or something similar) you or a tailor can add a hood lining in the fabric MonkeyToes suggested.
I wish I had seen this coat by I kinda want one too.

Response by poster: Amazing -- that's got to be the same material as the lining! Given that, I wonder if the whole coat was custom. Either way, now that I have this lead, I could recreate the crucial part of it.
