Thoughts

Cloth
The double faced cashmere drapes elegantly with weight.
Lining the cape
As the cloth is double faced I opted no lining for a slimmer silhouette.
Softer lines vs more structured
The shoulder structure on the left gives a more military sharp silhouette whereas the right coat appears softer.
Belt loose or fixed
To avoid fabric pulling the belt is to be loose not stitched fixed to the coat.
Buttons
For a subtle elegant finish the buttons are fabric covered buttons.
