Buy the Men's Goldstream Peacoat sewing pattern from 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 epaulettes, 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 centre 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 anchor buttons to a rustic tweed with leather closures.
