This sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:

– PDF (available to download immediately after purchase). What is a PDF?

– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop (We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these. The PDF files will be emailed immediately after purchase, and the A0 pattern sheets will be dispatched next working day). What is Copy Shop?

Note if purchasing copy shop printing: The pattern will show both the cutting lines (in black) and stitching lines (in pale grey). Some of the pattern pieces have been split (to fit on the A0 sheets) and will need to be joined together.

Suggested fabrics: Mid to heavy weight outerwear fabrics such as cotton canvas, waxed canvas, cotton moleskin, rigid denim, corduroy and heavyweight cotton drill. 

Wool coating and boiled wool can also be used, but keep in mind that the coat is unlined. For some, this may be uncomfortable, or make it tricker to slide the coat on and off. The sleeves can be underlined with a smooth fabric to help with this.
