Wether you are seeking a special one of a kind jacket, or a simple every day,  beautifully made, functional, coat,we will work with you to select and/or make the perfect shearling, to best enhance you and your wardrobe!

 Our skins are of the ultimate lightness, and our construction techniques eliminate bulk, so you can enjoy your very special jacket, off the rack or custom fit, for years to come.
Hope to see you!

Shearlings, Made One by One

Posted by veryspecialjackets on

Opening a fresh box of some beautiful skins to make a special order, one of our most intricate designs of multi color lambskins, which  float over a black napalan shearling.

First step is inspecting the skins, cleaning up the edges, and sorting……as no two skins are the same, we need to choose  weight, the wool “nap”, suppleness, and size to relate to the different pattern pieces to be placed, marked and cut.

Stay tuned!

Young Collectors, Women of Style

Posted by veryspecialjackets on

I have so much fun in the booth with the wide range of women who love our work.

It is so exciting when the right woman and coat find each other, the work is complete!

Recently more and more younger women in their 20’s-40’s seem to be finding us, and I’m thrilled they feel sexy and fashionable and comfortable and warm in our coats!

This young woman in her 20’s was smart enough to encourage her parents to go to the PMA Craftshow a few years ago, and she wound up with this coat. It was love at first sight!

Two Museums, Two States, Too Good!

Posted by veryspecialjackets on

I have been a absent  from the blogosphere for awhile, ending up summer, trying to grab that last little bit to invigorate me for the coming season, our season!

Not to mention having our noses in our designs, and having fun making new things for you.

Recently a lot has been selling off the rack, so designing new, and restocking.

It turns out the Art World does embrace The Craft World!

See you next week on the beautiful Eastern Shore of Maryland at The Academy Art Museum

The Hudson Valley Arts Festival, a new event, this weekend.

Posted by veryspecialjackets on

What a great time of the year to head upstate to Rhinebeck, NY, to soak in the beauty of the area, and the arts from fine craft, to film, to music, plus great food. I am bringing lots of shearlings; capes, jackets and coats. New this year?  Lots of styles for petite sizes.

“The Watershed Post” sums up whats going on:

The “Hudson Valley Arts Festival” at Rhinebeck, held at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds, will be a celebration of artistic expression with a main focus on craft, visual art and music. In addition to 200 of America’s top artists and craftspeople, the festival will highlight the exciting art, culture and food of the Hudson Valley; a line-up of exceptional live music including The Jay Collins Band, the Lindsey Webster Band, Myles Mancuso, CKS,  Mambo Kikongo; live art projects; children’s art activities; docent guided tours; craft demonstrations; book signings and more. Artrider is collaborating with Hudson Valley Tourism, the Dutchess County Arts Council, The Woodstock Film Festival, Chronogram, Hudson Valley Restaurant Week and local Chambers of Commerce with the intention of making this event the center of an Annual Arts Weekend for the pleasure of area residents and tourists. Show hours are Friday, October 4 from 10-6, Saturday, October 5 from 10-6 and Sunday, October 6 from 10-5. For more information visit www.artrider.com. Admission is $10
