I completed the jacket in the Merchant and Mills quilted fabric with the helpful opinions of Foldliners about the form of closure to use. The fabric frays a good deal and I was concerned that machined button holes would not hold through the layers of fabric and interfacing.
The body is quite short on me and the arms were the right length without the turn up which I didn't want but you might want to add length if you do.
The pattern is clearly marked and well drafted. As with other M&M patterns, it isn't always obvious what to do or why but the pieces fit together easily. This one recommends some tailoring. I put the pockets on before joining the front/yoke to the back piece and made up the lining entirely separately before sewing it to the facing and the facing to the jacket. Then I slip-stitched the jacket hems and finally slip stitched the lining to the jacket at wrists and waist, leaving room for it to "hang". It looks all right to me.
I used sew on snaps (press studs) in preference to trying to massacre the garment with an expensive snap press and then sewed the buttons to the outside. I'm not sure it has all lined up quite correctly but with this method I can take the whole lot off quickly and do it again.
I wasn't sure if I would like this jacket but I do. It closes right up to the neck, the collar is snug and I like the pockets. I'm now eyeing up something to make the coat.
Before I do, I will experiment with the pattern layout. The fabric amount stated for 120cm wide left me, having made a size 12, with almost a metre over. A bag I suppose!

This was a simple jacket to construct, and it came together relatively quickly. I preferred to fully line this jacket, but would consider making an unlined mid-season or summer version with Hong Kong seams in a lighter weight fabric such as corduroy, linen or denim.
The jacket is comfortable and loose to wear, allowing plenty of room for sweaters and warm winter layers.
I am now planning to make a further jacket for the spring, next time I will go down a size and lengthen it slightly.
This pattern is great for beginners as it is easy to construct, especially if you leave it unlined.
The fabric quantities are fairly generous, and so I was able to make a skirt to wear with the jacket from the left over fabric.
This jacket is versatile, and is great worn casually with jeans, or more formally over a dress or as a suit with matching skirt or trousers, depending on your fabric choice.

Made coat out of wool coating from a craft stall.
The instructions are clear and straightforward. It is a clever design/construction so that the finished coat looks good.
I have never made a coat before or put a lining in anything and a number of people have complemented me on my coat and thought it had been shop bought.
I used Merchant and Mills buttons
It is a lovely coat , warm, comfortable and easy to wear

The pattern is not user friendly/clear at all! given it's a pdf/print out printed in long form there's no excuse for leaving explanations ambiguous and not giving enough detail - the instructions are really targeted at the jacket and oilskin. it's not made clear which pieces should be cut in which materials or what stitch should be used for joins - it feels like an aesthetic pattern, that it might be a nice idea to make, rather than something you're actually getting the guidance and instructions to do

Gorgeous coat. I have made one in a beautiful boiled wool fabric I got from Fabworks.
I can't say enough how much I love this pattern. It is not too difficult to make. I am making a second in moleskin cotton for days which are dry and not so cold.
I know I will be making more as it is such a pleasure to make and wear.
