I've made several over the years. The joy of making a coat (as distinct from a suit jacket, you understand, in American clothing terminology) is that coat fabric is heavier and patterns are generally simpler. There's tailoring, but on a much more forgiving level than a suit. A bound buttonhole in a heavy tweed is not nearly as finicky as one in a fine summer-weight wool, and the turn of a lapel can be a little less precise and still work fine.

I'm kind of excited about sewing again.
