Ruby V. Harstine describes four coats she wove and tailored between 1928 and 1938, giving for each the reed, pattern, warp and weft yarns (mostly Bernat's), color notes, lining, interlining, tailoring details and how the coat wore. A short section gives the threading and treadling drafts used for the coats: rosepath, plain weave, a Flashman original draft, and broken diamond twill. Photographs of the coats are included, and a notice for a July 1939 weaving course at Kate Van Cleve's Brookline studio appears at the end of the draft section.
