I got this amazing blue wool for $20 a yard. It was $75! I wanted to make something casual out of it, but heavy enough for the San Francisco evenings. The sweater is based from a vintage sweater I have.

I integrated the belt loop (via button holes), and did hook closures so there would be minimal interruption of the fabric with buttons.

The lining is a light cotton to keep me itch free.

Please dont mind the dog hair (she laid on it one night!). I got rid of it, just need to take new pictures soon.
