1896 Three Button Cutaway Frock Suit

Added 2020-02-03 08:17:20 +0000 UTC

Morning everyone!

Here comes another 1890s coat for your male sims. As you can see, even though it's made of wool, the cut resembles rather a suit than a coat - therefore, I'd say it's appropriate mostly for fashion victims, whose main goal, even during winter, is to look as handsome as possible. Or just for any sim who's impervious to cold. That's why my today's model is a famous snob from Oasis Springs, Malcolm Landgraab ^^.

Comes in 15 swatches (same palette as last time + 2 new):

Base Game compatible
HQ mod compatible
allowed for random
custom thumbnail & bump map, no shine
tagged as casual & cold weather
colour tagged
found under outerwear category
PDN file for recolours included (if you take away the 'material' layer and add some gentle specular, it should make for a nice, elegant suit) - you don't need it for the mesh to work

Known problems: the bottom of the suit cuts into sims legs while sitting. Looks a bit stupid, but at least it doesn't come out on the other side of the legs, so I hope we're good.
Also, the trousers clip with some shoes. They are set to go over any type of shoes, but apparently they're a little bit too narrow in the ankle area, so if you choose really wide boots, it won't look too good. Sorry!

It's just a very basic garment, but sometimes that's exactly what you need. Hope your sims will find it useful!
