I’ve been hoarding this houndstooth coating for years, and I finally sewed it up! I’m so glad! I love the jacket and wear it all the time.
The pattern is Simplicity 2256. All the details are on my blog – here, with fit details here, tailoring details here, and some more info about linings and bound buttonholes here
Wool coating, polyester jacquard lining, interfacing used was Pro-Tailor Deluxe and Hair Canvas from Fashion Sewing Supply
