Description

Introducing the Goldstream Peacoat, a classic outerwear design with modern options. This pattern serves as an ideal introduction to menswear tailoring, providing detailed instructions to help you achieve a beautifully finished coat, even if you’re new to sewing outerwear.

The design features a narrow double-breasted front, creating a sleek and stylish look when worn buttoned or open. Customise your peacoat with various options such as epaulets, lined patch pockets, pocket flaps, an interior patch pocket, a removable hood (attached with buttons), and sleeve tabs.
