Gives me special powers!

This is a great pattern, clearly laid out with all the right notches and with clear instructions. I used 10oz denim which was easy to cut accurately although it created some issues with layers of fabric. I mainly used clips instead of pins. I finished all the seams, facings and hem edges (to avoid two quarter inch turns) by binding with a cotton remnant and, in addition, used that material for the under collar. Could have also used it for one side of each side slit but I think the neck facing needed the denim body in order to stabilise the collar.
It might also be possible to size up and then flat fell some seams. Hard to do in the "right" size as the given seam allowance is only half an inch.
I did add top stitching on the sleeve to shoulder seams to make sure the seam lay the right way but omitted some from under the arms as the bulk of the fabric made it tricky to do. (I did try but unpicked it.)
Lots of good tutorials out there about which feet help to top stitch accurately. I used jeans thread on the side which was going to show.
I'll admit I didn't make a toile. I pressed the horizontal seam up instead of down and then trimmed it without thinking which means the join at the front is wavy. Hopefully, you wouldn't have spotted that if I hadn't said.
I am actually likely to wear this "cloak of visibility" on deck. Will be a beacon when I pop it over!
