Pattern: I AM Patterns Men’s Artemis Coat

Fabric: Lady McElroy pure wool coating

Fabric stockist: minerva.com

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect light-weight coat or jacket pattern for a while now, and was drawn to the I AM Patterns Artemis Coat for men (a women’s version is also available in PDF and paper pattern format). This pattern has a lovely drape to it, is easy to throw on, and looked like it had some interesting features. Plus, it also includes the most important detail for all of us sewists... it has POCKETS!
