Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this coat for my hubby in exchange for a haircut. Do you ever make deals like that with your significant other? I’ll make you a fully tailored, interlined amazing coat if you’ll please just get a haircut. Ok, ok maybe it wasn’t quite that drastic, but it was close. Ha ha ha!
This coat was made from the Japanese men’s coat pattern book – and no, I have no idea how to read japanese. It’s the toggle coat version and I created a full lining pattern and made a few design changes to the pattern itself. I used a double cloth wool coating fabric for the outer shell and for the lining, I used a rayon crepe back satin and interlined it with lambswool (from my shop!) and flannel making this coat built for extra cold weather.
For more info on everything I did, you can catch all the posts here, on my blog. Baby, it’s gonna be cold outside!

Great job with the coat. I love the contrasting stitches on the buttonholes as well as the contrasting fabric for the toggle covers. The details are great!

Ridiculously well tailored and sure to keep him toasty warm. I’m always curious about interlined coats – it’s never cold enough here to need them so I’ve not ever seen one. I always imagine they end up being bulky but yours is still quite trim.

Fantastic! Sewing coats scares me so therefore anyone who CAN sew one is like, my hero or something! Excellent work!
