LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY

Advanced. Best suited for sewists experienced in tailored overcoats, structured collars, flap pocket construction, and lining assembly.

SEAM ALLOWANCES

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DIGITAL PATTERN 6009

Use warm, structured coating fabrics to maintain the tailored form:

• Wool or wool-blend coating (solid, twill, or melton)
• Brushed wool blends with body

• Lining Fabric: Tonal color, full body and sleeves

• Fusible Interfacing

• Padding Strip (Sintepon): 80 cm x 8 cm
