Fabric Suggestions?

[vandy]

A while ago I got the end of a bolt of yummy patterned wool from Mill Ends. It is black with lozenges that are 1 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" long. Sadly I only have about 2 1/2 yards of it. So what might ot be appropriate for? Ideas, thoughts and suggestions are welcome!

Black is certainly a possible color in any culture that has dye capabilities (use dark or black sheeps wool, overdye with dark blue). The weave...again there was the capacity to do larger geometric patterns, I know that diamond twill was known, though that is a smaller scale pattern. What is the width? If it is 54" or 60", from 2 1/2 yards you very well could get a rectangular coat, since you are more slender than I am, especially if you perhaps did cuffs and borders from another fabric.
