Buy the Prado Trench Coat sewing pattern from Liesl + Co. The Prado Trench Coat is a classic unlined, double-breasted trench coat. The pattern features all the details you might want from a custom-made trench coat: princess seams, an attached cape with an inverted box pleat, notched collar with collar band, two-piece sleeves with button tabs, epaulettes, and a tie belt with belt loops. View A is knee length with on-seam welt pockets and a back walking vent, while View B is a simpler, cropped version without pockets or a back vent.
Note: The designer lengthened View A by about 12" to make the dark khaki coat in the image gallery.

This is a trench coat pattern with just about all the elements you would look for (though I did add a hanging loop - why is this not included as standard for all coat patterns!). The cape will help to protect from the rain at both front and back, and makes a nice feature - I put in a touch of reflective piping to the back cape as I will be likely to use the coat while cycling. The welt pockets are a must-have and end up very capacious on the inside, and nice and neat from the outside. Add in the walking vent and generous skirt of the coat and you have a very classy result.
There are a lot of pieces to the pattern, but if you keep your head and take it in stages it is not a problem (I did allow myself as much time as I needed to, and stopped in places when I needed to do something else instead). The coat side, front, and back are quite large pieces individually and once assembled together, and you do need a good-sized working area as you handle it. Normally you would hem the sleeves after sewing them into place of course, but I was a bit nervous about the weight of the whole coat and so I hemmed them in advance of sewing them in. It did mean they ended up slightly longer than ideal, rather than me getting them to just the right length, but when I'm cycling with it on I think it will be better to have longer sleeves than shorter ones (and I can roll the cuffs a little anyway).
The pattern is unlined and for most fabrics that would be how you would want to leave it; because I chose a waterproof fabric with a plastic coating I lined the sleeves and bodice just to prevent my skin touching clammy underside of coat on those rainy days.
