First up I have got to say I love how this turned out, it’s been a slow steady process putting it all together but I am thrilled with the finished result. I have knocked a star off because although the instructions are mostly easy enough to follow the placket did not make any sense to me whatsoever. I am self taught and this was an advanced sew so maybe it was just due to my lack of understanding having not dealt with a concealed placket before. That said, this for me is the perfect coat, I love all the details from the lining to the pockets and drawstring and will get so much wear out of it for years to come. Well worth the effort.
