I enjoyed making the Sanda coat and recommend this pattern. This was my first go at a fully lined winter coat and I am really pleased with the results. The coat is fairly oversized in style. I didn't want the coat to swamp me so I decided to size down, I measured a size 10 but made a size 8, grading to a 10 at the armscye and arm pieces to make sure I had a good range of movement in the coat as I noticed atr toile stage that the arms felt a little tighter on me. I also took quite a bit from the lengh, from memory about 7cm in total as I am short and I preferred the coat to finish just below my knees as opposed to mid calf as in the main design. I'm really pleased with these changes and have a great fit. I used the merchant and mills 12oz twill in a dark navy and lined with one of their block prints. I love the fabric, it has a very soft feel to it and is warm to wear. The instructions are good but a bit on the spare side. There is quite a bit of hand sewing/tailoring techniques in this pattern which I really enjoyed trying. I think a bit more information in the pattern or video/blog content to support makers at these steps would be really helpful. I did muddle through through and I am really pleased with the final result. The coat looks a great fit for me and I think the design really strikes a good balance between everyday wear and smart coat that is exactly what I was looking for. I'm looking forward to making the jacket version soon!

I am falling in love with the Sanda coat by Merchant & Mills.
It seemed to offer just what I was looking for. The understated style and cut of the coat appealed to me, it is a timeless design with a Japanese aesthetic. More importantly, it would be easy to wear over winter layers and sweaters.
The instructions are easy to understand and follow. However, I decided to construct the coat in a completely different order and way than what was recommended in the instructions.
This was a simple coat to construct, and it came together relatively quickly. I preferred to fully line this coat, but would consider making an unlined mid-season or summer version with Hong Kong seams for a lighter weight fabric such as corduroy or linen.
The coat was perfect for my needs, and I am pleased with the outcome. In the future, I will definitely be tempted to make other versions. I have no doubt that this coat will gain popularity among many sewers.

Pattern
The Sanda can be made as a coat or jacket, lined or unlined. Its currently available as a PDF, but will soon be available in paper format. As PDFs are my preference I printed out and assembled the pattern a couple of days after it was released, but you could always opt for copy-shop if that’s not your thing. It has a great size range UK6-18 and UK18-28.
Fit
This is an oversized coat/jacket with a drop sleeve so no real fitting required. My measurements are close to a size 10 and I sewed a size 10 with no modifications (I usually size down in M&M patterns but for this one I didn’t).
Likes
I love the versatility of this pattern and can see myself getting great use out of it. The fact that you can sew it unlined or lined, short or long gives you so many options. It can be sewn in many types of fabrics to give a different look. Its a very straightforward sew and would be a great choice as a first coat to make.
