When you live in a cooler climate, you definite need a nice coat. Here is one for thought:
This is the Lafayette 148 New York Marabela Elite Italian Wool-Cashmere Coat. Price tag: $1798.00. Details: Notched lapel, one button, long sleeves, welt chest pocket, flat hip pockets, relaxed silhouette, pin-stitched detail, about knee length, approximately 39" back length.
This is a very expensive coat and it is all about the fabric and pin-stitching. Here is a pattern that is very close to the silhouette:
The is the Chaval Coat pattern by Liesl & Co. With this pattern, you would need to add a chest welt pocket and maybe remove two of the buttons. If it were me, I would leave all of the buttons for added warmth.
The wool/cashmere coating is fairly easy to find and there are lots of colors/patterns to choose from. Even at $35.00 a yard, you could purchase enough for a muslin and still be a head.
Hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.
Happy Stitching!
