Styling Your Double-Breasted Jacket/Coat

This double-breasted jacket/coat is a true wardrobe investment! This style pairs excellently with skirts, trousers, and even shorts. The classic, yet current, cut (or drape) makes it an ideal companion for corporate or business looks.

A more subdued, but equally chic and modern look can be created with a crisp white shirt, a pullover, and denim trousers. The elongated shirt cuffs create harmonious layering, while accessories provide the necessary focal points. Simply stunning!

Another example of a fashionable and current pairing is a bold outfit featuring cropped denim shorts, a soft, tonal sweater, and high over-the-knee boots. An oversized tote bag completes the ensemble.

How to Download the PDF Jacket/Coat Pattern

The finished jacket/coat pattern is drafted for six standard sizes: from 42 to 52. The ease allowance (or design ease) added to the half-bust measurement is approximately 10 cm. The ease allowance added to the sleeve width is approximately 16 cm.

Finished Center Back Length for sizes 42-52: 66  cm – 66.5 cm – 67 cm – 67.5 cm – 68 cm – 68.5 cm.

A front and back design sketch (or technical flat) of the jacket/coat is shown in Fig. 3.

The ready-to-download PDF pattern is provided in two formats:
1. Full-scale (for wide-format printing).
2. Tiled (for printing on standard A4 sheets).

If you print the pattern using the A4 tiled format, the sheets must be accurately joined. A tiling grid (or alignment grid) is printed on the sheets, making assembly simple – use masking tape or a glue stick and scissors. For more details, see: How to Check Your Downloaded Pattern

IMPORTANT! The pattern pieces are drafted without seam allowances or hem allowances!

How to Check Your Downloaded Pattern

The complete pattern sheet layout is shown in Fig. 5. To ensure printing accuracy, a test square with dimensions of 100 х 100 mm is included on the pattern pages.

Why is this necessary? Sometimes, printer settings can compress the image. Therefore, ensure that your printer settings have the “Full Size” or “Scale 100%” option selected.

Mandatory Step: Always measure the test square after printing and check the pattern pieces after assembly to avoid errors in the final garment.

Pro Tip (Muslin/Toile Check): A simple way to check the pattern is to cut out the paper pieces for your chosen size and join them at the seamlines using small pieces of painter’s tape. Carefully try on the resulting paper mock-up (or toile). This gives you a clear sense of the garment’s structure and fit (or silhouette), allowing you to easily tweak the pattern for any noticeable fit issues in girth or length.

Cutting and Sewing Instructions

Download and print the pattern, assemble the tiled sheets, select your size, and cut the pattern pieces along the solid lines.

Materials Required for Construction:

1. 1. Approximately 2.5 m of medium-weight mélange coating fabric (145-150 cm width).
   2. 1.6 m of viscose lining fabric.
   3. 6 buttons (approximately 26 mm diameter).
   4. Fusible interlining (or interfacing/stabilizer) for reinforcing key pattern pieces (see tutorial: How to Fuse Interfacing).
   5. Heavy-duty thread (e.g., Mettler Seralon No. 30) for hand-worked buttonholes.
   6. All-purpose sewing thread (e.g., Madeira Aerofil No. 120).
   7. Overlock thread (e.g., Madeira Aerolock No. 125) for seam finishing.

Required Sewing Equipment:

• Straight-Stitch Sewing Machine: For seaming and edge finishing.
• Serger (or Overlock Machine): For securing the raw edges of seam allowances (essential for fraying fabrics).

Cutting Layout (Main Fabric, Fig. 6):

• Back: 1 piece (on the fold)
• Front: 2 pieces
• Front Facing: 2 pieces (trace separately from the Front pattern piece)
• Sleeve: 2 pieces
• Upper Collar: 1 piece (on the fold)
• Under Collar: 1 piece (on the fold)
• Sleeve Tab: 4 pieces (trace separately from the Sleeve pattern piece).

Interlining: Fuse the interlining to the designated pattern pieces as shown in the diagram (Fig. 12). Additionally, fuse interlining to the hem allowances of the Back, Front, and Sleeves.

Cutting Layout (Lining Fabric):

1. Back Lining: 1 piece (on the fold, add a pleat for ease of 2 cm at the center back).
2. Front Lining (less the Front Facing): 2 pieces.
3. Sleeve Lining: 2 pieces.

Seam and Hem Allowances

When laying out your pattern:

Add a seam allowance of 1.5 cm to all pattern edges. Add a hem allowance of 4 cm to the bottom edges of the Back, Front, and Sleeves.
For more detail, see the lesson: What Seam Allowances to Use When Cutting

Masterclass: Jacket/Coat Construction

Critical Note: The edges of fabrics like mélange wool coating are often prone to fraying. Therefore, we strongly recommend finishing (or serging) the raw edges of all seam allowances with a 3-thread overlock stitch immediately after cutting. If your fabric is non-fraying, this step can be omitted.
