A classic peacoat with modern options, this design is the perfect introduction to menswear tailoring as the detailed instructions will help you create a beautifully finished coat even if you are intimidated by sewing outerwear. The design includes a narrow double breast that sits nicely both buttoned and open. Various details can be left out or included such as: epaulets, lined patch pockets, pocket flaps, an interior patch pocket, a removable hood (using buttons), and sleeve tabs. This design is easy to fit with an optional slimming front dart and a center back seam. Few body panels make it relatively simple to sew and it is fully lined with detailed instructions on how to insert the lining and hand-sew the hems. The Goldstream Peacoat would suit everything from a classic navy wool with fouled anchor buttons to a rustic tweed with leather closures. Skill level: Advanced. Sizing: XS – XXL For sizing, yardage requirements & finished garment measurements, click here. Fabric suggestions: Self fabric: Medium to heavy weight wools such as gabardine, tweed, houndstooth, worsted wool, boiled wool, and especially any wool labelled ‘coating’. Choose a weight that your machine can handle. Lining: Lightweight lining fabrics such as silk, polyester, or rayon lining. For a warmer coat, choose soft, medium weight fabrics such as flannel, quilted lining materials, or brushed cotton. Consider using slippery material for the sleeves and warm fabric for the body.
