Coat therapy

Dear cargo coat,

We've been together for a while now, and we sure have had some good times. But times change, and you haven't. I leave magazines around the coat rack, hoping you will notice that these days every other coat is two tone (Alexander Wang; Burberry) ... but you remain stubbornly monotonal. So, I've taken matters in my own hands. I think your sleeves in a bucket of dye will give us many more happy years together.

xo linds.

NOTE: This'll work with any coat made with a natural fiber, cotton will give an especially good result; I used Dylon Velvet Black; carefully unpicking and (subsequent to the dying process) reattaching the sleeves is a lot easier in an unlined coat.
