Pattern Goldstream Peacoat - The Thread Theory

Pattern Goldstream Peacoat

• SKU: 458356

• “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.”

• Sizes: US XS-XXL

• Recommended Fabric: 

  - Medium to heavyweight wools such as gabardine, tweed, hounds-tooth, worsted wool, boiled and especially any wool labeled ‘coating’. Choose a weight that your machine will be comfortable handling. 

  - Lining: Lightweight lining fabrics such as silk, polyester, or rayon lining. For a warmer coat choose soft, medium weight fabrics such as flannel, quilted lining materials, or brushed cotton. Consider using slippery materials for the sleeves and warm fabrics for the body. 

  - Interfacing: Medium to heavy weight fusible or sewn in interfacing. If your wool is very textured and fusible interfacing will likely have difficulties fusing to it, choose sewn-in interfacing to baste to the interfaced pieces. 

• Classic and casual variations: 

  - Two ½” - 5/8” shoulder pads 

  - Six 1” buttons for front closure
