Inspiration...Coat

There isn't anything better than a coat that you can wear your warm clothes under.  It seems like a long time since I seen a coat that fit properly (obviously, my opinion).  For several years, I've had to purchase larger coats by 2 or 3 sizes just so I could get a long sleeved in the sleeve.  Okay, I'll admit my arms are a bit chunky.  Here's the coat that I've found:

This is the Plaid Wool Blend Coat by Polo Raphen Lauren.  Price tag: $698.00.  This is perfect for the season with the muted glen plaid in grays.

Here's a pattern that could work:

This is Simplicity 8797.  It is described as a loose fitting coat which pretty much is the inspiration coat. 

Hope your inspired to sew.

Happy Stitching!
