WHAT DO I GET WITH MY PURCHASE?

Please note you are purchasing a digital pattern that will be sent directly to your email inbox after payment. You can print this pattern at home on A4 or US letter-sized paper or take it to a print shop for large scale printing (AO size). *You will not receive a hard copy printed pattern.*

Instant download available immediately after checkout includes:

1. Instructions

2. PAH Pattern file (PAH=Print at home)
For printing in A4 or US Letter on a home printer. Printing at home is the most cost-effective, and sticking your pattern tiles together to make your full size pattern is easy. Further information for printing at home can be found in our Resources section here. 

3. AO Pattern file
AO is a large scale file designed to be printed at a Print Copy Shop. You cannot print this on your home printer as it is too big. If you choose to use this large file you will pay extra to have it printed but you do not have to stick anything together.

You can use the ADOBE LAYERS FEATURE to open the PAH pattern file and print only the size you need (and eliminate the "noise" of the unwanted sizes). You can also use the URL and bookmark links within the file to quickly access information and support. Download Adobe Reader for free (for Windows and Mac) here.

4. Video tutorial support for completing a professional yoke finish, adjusting fit around your bust (FBA) and adding snap fasteners.

Affordable, stylish and Well Crafted.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Khaki
This trench coat has quickly become my favorite wardrobe piece! Not only is it incredibly comfortable, but it’s also the perfect blend of style and functionality. The material feels soft yet durable, and it’s lightweight enough to wear throughout the day without feeling bulky. The design is simply timeless and elegant. It fits beautifully, with a tailored silhouette that flatters without being too restrictive. The details, buttons, and lapels—are thoughtfully crafted, giving it a polished, high-quality look. What truly sets this trench coat apart are the compliments I receive every time I wear it. Whether I’m at work, running errands, or heading out for dinner, people constantly ask where I got it. It’s one of those rare pieces that make you feel confident the moment you put it on. If you’re looking for a coat that combines comfort, style, and versatility, this is an absolute must-have. It’s a wardrobe staple that’s worth it.

Dress look, without paying, big dollars!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Khaki
Well worth the $. With a sweater, perfectly fine for winter wear. Without a sweater? Perfect for fall Nice look You’ll need to have it ironed, in that it comes in a very small plastic. Minor ironing! A good buy!!
