You get coat picture or small cloth sample? Start with wetin you need confirm. Melton name or fine picture alone no tell you the exact fibre mix, weight, usable width or whether the cloth go work for your coat.
Write the coat problem first
For belt coat, you fit need check how the broad cloth hang and how the belt fold. For double-breast coat, check where front pieces overlap. Put compulsory fibre mix and care requirement separate from the look you like. If you no know the weight, write am as question; no borrow number from another article.
Keep the sample identity
Keep supplier article code, colour reference, date and specification version with the cloth. Mark which side face outside and which direction you observe. Photo fit help discussion, but screen colour no be physical colour approval. Ask which current article the picture or swatch represent before you request more cloth.
Choose sample size for the work
Small labelled swatch fit help shortlist surface. To check broad fold or hanging area, explain the unbroken area and direction you need, then ask which bigger cutting dey possible. For collar, facing or hem sewing, let pattern maker estimate length from real pieces, usable width and how many trials you plan.
Compare the same way
Use the same light, face, direction and support. Write sample dimensions so another person fit repeat the check. If two pieces get the same GSM but different feel, keep both observations; no assume same thickness or same garment result. Add the intended facing, interfacing and lining when you test the actual detail.
If new cutting no match old swatch
For example, you like old swatch surface but bigger piece look different. Keep both labels and ask whether na same article, finish and colour, or another option. Repeat comparable observation before you blame the cloth. Surface preference no automatically approve collar or bulk order; write the exact decision wey still dey open.
