LOBSTER TAIL JACKET IN HADAL BLUE WOOL BAIZE
-
Details
The panels for Lobster Tail Jackets are all individually lined and bias-bound, before assembling with flat lapped seams. Because bias binding can not be used to edge sharp corners, all the panels are rounded. Rounded tails can not be sewn together into a flat edge, so the four tails of the jacket have a distinctive scalloped shape, like a lobster’s tail. It is lined to just below the pocket edge, and are unlined in the tails.
Wool baize fabrics are heavily finished thick wool cloths traditionally woven for insulating and sound proofing. Doors were often covered with baize to keep out the chill, or to stop sound from servants' quarters carrying above stairs, and the backstage 'green room' was so called for the green baize fabric tacked to the walls to stop sound from being heard front of house. More commonly today, baize is widely used to cover card-playing and snooker tables, for its densely woven and very flat surface.
Baize garments are cut and sewn with ecru cotton bindings and ticking linings, then over-dyed in hadal blue. This creates dark navy bindings and linings, and subtly variegated navy outer fabrics.
