Vintage Winterwear Collection pt. 11

Hello everyone!

Here comes another winter coat for your Victorian boys.

This piece has a kind of funny backstory: when I just started working on my previous coat for boys and felt utterly unmotivated to do it, I went to our Sims of History Discord, posted my reference pictures and whined a bit about how ugly and uninspiring they are. That's all it was supposed to be: a bit of whining, to get the frustration out... But then one of the fellow simmers wrote sth like: 'Hey, but that triple cape looks cute!'. And then another person wrote the same, and another - and soon it turned into a mini-voting, with literally everyone going for the triple cape. I was very surprised, actually - I didn't find it especially appealing and, if anything, I find the whole Victorian obsession with making little boys into sailors slightly creepy - but with such a clear favourite, I had no other choice but to make it ;).

Comes in 16 swatches, this time only without trousers (I think it's meant rather for younger boys, so no long pants - Linzlu's woollen socks is all they can get :P).

Known problems: as always, no cape (at least of mine ;)) is perfect, and the more intricate it is, the more problematic it gets. Works quite well in normal gameplay, but posing boys in this one is a nightmare, not gonna lie. Please tell me if you notice any bigger issues!

I hope you'll like it, despite the small imperfections. Enjoy!
