"But this week I spotted an ingenious use for the extras, courtesy of NY-based company Proche Studio. Here's their proposal: Mail in a wool blanket, and they'll give it new life in the form of a great-looking-and uber snug-chore coat, vest, or scarf. I'm particularly smitten by the chore coat, a fresh version of the quilt coats that became popular a couple of years ago, and much, much warmer."
"Above: Object of my desire: the Proche Custom Wool Chore Coat. "Send us a blanket, and we will make you our wool chore coat," they say. "This bespoke experience will include communication with our designer about measurements and any other requirements needed to complete the vision for your custom piece." All in, the process and custom coat is $420. Above: Perhaps you'd prefer a vest? The Proche Custom Pernille Vest is $350."
Proche Studio in New York accepts wool blankets by mail and transforms them into custom garments including chore coats, vests, giant scarves, and crop jackets. The process involves communication with a designer about measurements and any requirements to complete the custom piece. Prices listed include $420 for a custom chore coat, $350 for the Pernille vest, $105 for a custom giant scarf, and $410 for a Custom Olivia Crop Jacket. The chore coat offers a warmer, updated take on the quilt coats that became popular several years ago. Unneeded wool blankets or thrift finds can be repurposed or used as DIY inspiration.
