I have made the short jacket version TWICE in 2 weeks time, that's how much I love this pattern. The cut is really comfortable, the pockets are deep (and yes, the welt pockets are a bit a tricky technically, but it is well explained). I'll be wearing my coats whenever possible.

I used a cotton twill both times, came out really good. I finished the edges with bias tape, I would have liked a general idea of how much tape I would need to be included in the pattern but there wasn't (I used about 9m).

I made this coat from a waterproof fabric and love the finished result. Will make again in a wool or similar for winter.

I have only made the calico toile but it's the first time I have never had to make a forward shoulder adjustment or tweak a pattern for fit apart from adding 1cm to the sleeve length. I went down a size as I didn't want it too oversized, this works well with a thickish jumper underneath, still plenty of room. I have cut it out in a wool coating and will line it. I think it's a beautiful jacket I will wear a lot.

love the unusual details. could use some video tutorials for the pockets. fits well

I've been sewing for many years and have made countless coats. I got a glimpse of this coat on a chore coat YouTube video and became obsessed with tracking it down. But while the construction is fairly simple, my old brain struggled mightily with the instructions for the welt pocket. I spent more than two hours trying to figure it out! When I finally did, I realized I had put the pocket bag in upside down. (Well, that's why God made seam rippers.) I also got tripped up on the term "knuckle bag". Never heard it before. A sew-along-with-me video on YouTube would be very helpful. But I do love the coat. I've already bought the fabric to make it again.
