TRIFECTA

This exquisite bespoke coat, fashioned from an antique buggy blanket by the renowned Chase Company in late 1800s New York, seamlessly blends history with artistry. Constructed from luxurious wools, mohair, and horsehair, it showcases a vivid palette that captures the essence of equestrian elegance.

 The back of the coat is a striking tableau, featuring three magnificent palominos racing with their manes flowing and nostrils flared, embodying a dynamic sense of speed and freedom. Set against a rich royal blue background, this vibrant scene is framed by intricate gold scroll patterns intertwined with lush green and yellow flora, enhancing the sense of movement. At the hem, a ribbon of deep red vines winds around rustic silver horseshoes, symbolizing good luck and fortune. Bridles and reins elegantly flow from the back to the front, emphasizing the equestrian theme throughout the design.

 Moving to the front, a floral triumph unfolds with bold red roses in various shades of pink, their lush green leaves providing a striking contrast against a regal gold scroll design. Each flower seems to bloom with vitality, exuding a sense of celebration. A small, discreet pocket on the left front panel, adorned with a wine-colored crushed velvet flap and embellished with an antique button, adds a touch of vintage charm and functionality.

 The sleeves, crafted from solid black segments of the original blanket, feature cuffs that continue the theme of bridles, creating a cohesive look. A beaded eyelash trim runs the length of the coat, enhancing its elegant silhouette. The neck is framed by a luxurious cream-colored fox collar, providing warmth and sophistication, while triple-tied tassel trims in shades of cream, gold, and honey cascade down the front panels and encircle the hem, adding a touch of opulence.

 Inside, the coat boasts a striking bright yellow crushed velvet lining, trimmed with looped passementerie that catches the light beautifully. The lower lining features vintage green velvet, creating a sumptuous contrast that feels rich against the skin. The coat is secured with an antique Bakelite clasp, featuring an engraved metal chain and a delicate relief design, marrying functionality with artistry.

 As a final nod to its heritage, the back showcases the original eyes on the palominos, a hallmark of the Chase design, ensuring that every detail speaks to its quality and craftsmanship. Named "Trifecta," this coat pays homage to the iconic horse racing term, celebrating the thrill of the race while capturing the spirit of equestrian elegance in its breathtaking design.
