The Thompson is the sort of jacket that looks equally at home in the country as it does leaning against subway tiles. Comfortably oversized with plenty of room for layering thanks to its raglan sleeve construction. It also comes with a detachable hood option in case you want to flip this style into the ultimate oilskin Barbour-esque jacket. Classic is silhouette to make any unintentional outfit feel more intentional.

 

If you're looking to line your Thompson, see the lining expansion which also includes lining for the detachable hood.

    Lovely coat, beautiful detailing

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

    Jacket version

    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.

    Great style and fit, but...

    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.

    Great pattern!

    Great pattern with really interesting style lines! Only thing I would have wanted would be instructions on when to finish seams, other than that everything ran smoothly!
