I love this pattern: the easy pockets, the styling and the perfect collar. The instructions are really clear and even for someone who has sewn a lot of suits and coats, this pattern had loads of good tips. Notes: the sleeves are quite fitted which works for me but I would probably redraft for the size up if you want to wear a bulky sweater underneath. Also, I have extremely long arms, so I would probably lengthen on the next version. I added buttons, handstitched the hems instead of the top stitching and added a coat loop for easy hanging at the neckline. I sewed this in Harris Tweed so had to adjust for the narrow fabric width. I would love to try colour blocking on the next one.
