Hobbyist dressmakers often make coats as an extension of jackets. It's true that for lighter items like spring coats, this may be fine, but this book introduces how to make a "sturdy winter coat." Since patterns change depending on the material, the book includes everything from small techniques like the key points for drawing lapel edges and front seams to basic drawings of hoods to match duffle coats and the like. If you've made a number of jackets and would like to try your hand at making a coat next, this book is a good place to start.
