Goldstream Peacoat- Thread Theory

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.

Suggested Fabrics:

Self- Medium to heavy weight wools such as gabardine, tweed, houndstooth, boiled wool, or any wool labelled 'coating'. Choose a weight that your machine will be able to handle, and consider using a walking foot!

Lining- lightweight lining fabrics such as silk, polyester or rayon. For a warmer coat use medium weight fabrics such as flannel, brushed cotton, Kasha or quilted lining. A slippery material for the sleeves will make for easier wear while a warmer material can be used for the body. 

This pattern, as part of the Parkland Casual Collection, is a modern slim-fitting design with athletic sizing. It is a classic garment that lends itself to creating the perfect casual, hand-made wardrobe for an active lifestyle.

1. A tissue copy of the pattern in sizes XS to XXL
2. A 20 page staple bound illustrated instruction booklet (lays flat while sewing!)
3. An embroidered Thread Theory garment tag
4. A chip board pattern folder with string closure - simple to use and sturdy enough to store your patterns for years to come
