All I wanted was a strong coloured single breasted trench coat that needed the least amount of hand sewing possible. The lining is machine sewn to the coat and I hand sewed the buttons and some of the buttohole detailing – and that was it.
Here are the previous trenchcoat posts:

Looks great. But it sure is going to be too hot to wear that soon. Love the colour. It's so much nicer than boring old black and will look lovely and cheery next winter.

Whoa that's awesome! The fit is great and you're really rocking it with those boots.. I've only finished a muslin thus far (and it's not even really a muslin because I already cut out the fashion fabric version XD). Just need to get the buttons and buttonholes in..
