Jacket made from military coat

My latest project, finished last weekend. I had a military coat that did not suit my body hanging in my wardrobe for about a year or more. I finally got sick of it and turned it into this jacket in two days. I have restyled the collar, removed shoulder pads, shortened the shoulders, fited it more in side seams, shortened it and re-lined it.

Fabric used is called Luxor ( pure wool coating with velvety feel ). It is feather light and very warm. I don’t have any in this colour left, but I do have some in gorgeous red
