Army Surplus Style Duffle Coat RePurposed / ReDesigned

I picked up this duffle bag of a coat in the 1990's for a couple of bucks at a clearance sale. Didn't touch it for a couple of decades and since they're IN this season, I redid the loooooong sleeves by shortening them and adding elastic to give them a cinched look, and then took in the waist by cinching the cord tie at the waist and hey, it's BEAUTIFUL!!!

looks cute with this crinkly rose print skirt with a broad black band...the cutesy skirt also gets a bit toughened up...but I think I'll wear it with skinny jeans or leggings...
