Inspired by a Cheyenne design for a beaded buckskin saddle blanket, this coat is an easy, oversized kimono style. The strong, front panels are striking against the rhythmic bobbled stripes of the body. The designer knitted the color panels separately, which made the color work much easier.

Finished length: 34”
