I used the Hikaru pattern and made a few changes, eliminated the pockets, added flaps, and made it more military style.
Black Wool Gabardine for the outer shell. Polyester mix floral design for the lining. Military buttons.

This looks SO good! I’ve been drooling over this pattern for awhile but just haven’t had a chance to make it yet—this is reinforcing my desire to do so!

absolutely gorgeous! good job! :) I suppose it was a little bit difficult to make it and it asked a lot of patience to finish this pattern? my admiration.
