I found these sewing patterns online and they look like Tom's S14 wine frock coat and the season 18 vest...would you consider doing a run of the season 13 frock coat.
ReplyDeletei meant to post this:

That really isn't the best pattern to work from. Trust me.
DeleteI used it as the basis for my Five Coat, but had to change almost every panel of the pattern to achieve the result I did.
The assembly instructions are also very bad and misdirected me on frock coat construction.
Things have changed VASTLY for me since and I have a MUCH better pattern to use and have cracked the secrets of making a good frock coat - so a season 13 coat could very much be on the cards at some point.
email me direct at tennantcoat@me.com if you want to talk seriously of commissioning one.
