Can the coat be worn without the scarf or are those linked together ? Also, the flexi prim attachment, is that done in the hip area or does it come out in the middle of yur back ? (something I hate)

I should have credited the snowman! He is by Summer Seale. You can find Summer’s shop in her Picks.
The coat can indeed be worn without the scarf (some of the pictures show this, but you have to click through on the links to see them), although the scarf cannot be worn without the coat. As for the flexi attachment, it does “connect” higher up on the body rather than at the hips. I’m not usually a big fan of this technique either, as it tends not to look terribly realistic and can really play havoc with fabric textures and patterns. However, it works here, partly I think because of the fabric’s dark color, which hides the edges more effectively. Also, and I think more importantly, it gives the pea coat the proper straight-sided silhouette, which otherwise it would not have.

Thanks for the info ! If you say the high attachment point works, I may get it after all then.

I’d definitely keep in mind your own experience with other coats that used this technique, and why and how much you didn’t like them. But I do think this one has those two factors (dark color and desired silhouette) working in its favor, and here I think the “high on the side connection” really works.

Good look there Ryan, the short hair suits you (and is unusual for you I think in that most of your hair so far has been of the longer variety).
I might give this outfit a try; I’m not usually a hat sort of person but this one might work – I especially like the scarf combination.
I’m currently wearing a warm duffle-coat and an icelandic-style knitted woollen hat with ties that hang down either side, woollen mittens and big boots for the sim I frequent, which is currently snow-bound
And in case I don’t get to do this before the day itself, Merry Christmas to Ryan and to you all.

Leo – Hmm, I guess I have been wearing longer hair recently, at least for the most part. I wonder if it’s cyclical?
Thanks for the holiday wishes! Best wishes right back at you.
