This wool blazer was love at first sight but soon enough I realised it was not that kind of garment that you can throw on at any time and be on your way. Wool has the advantage of being warm and durable, it's a timeless fabric that can last you a lifetime with just the right amount of love & care. On the other hand, it can also be harsh on sensitive skin or at least this particular one turned out to be pretty uncomfortable for my type of skin so much so I decided to wear it only with a collared shirt or turtleneck until I was able to find out a way to avoid any skin contact with the harsh lapel. I was thinking about sewing a soft fabric underneath the lapel, just around my neck.
A while ago, I was lucky enough to find a khaki shirt at the thrift store. Even though the fabric has a darker tone of khaki I knew it was better than I expected to find in such a short time. More than that, my intention was to sew the fabric where nobody could see it anyway but though it's almost invisible, his soft texture can be easely sensed. And gosh, this small detail sure makes a big difference! I sewed it by hand to avoid any seam to be noticeable. It took me a while but now I'm able to wear it with anything I want in no time.
