What a fabulous ending to the story!
She should print out this thread as part of the provenence of the coat!
cool story!
This is such a great story. Thank you so much for sharing it and for taking the steps to get the coat to where it will be appreciated.
I saw the coat today at Barbara’s shop. It is stunning. Engraved buttons, in nearly perfect condition, yellow silk lining… really nice. She said it’s amazing to think the stitching was all done by hand. Lord knows I can’t make a stitch that small and even! Displayed at the moment with some antique whips and top hats, it is quite striking. She said lots of people have been ogling it. She said she is talking to a museum about loaning it for an exhibit, too.
