Notes I made the same cuts on the jacket as on the dress 4149. Borrowing ideas from here on out. Hopefully no one will mind. Eg jacket 5185 and 2020 and collar 4483 (almost). I lined the jacket with satin fabric. There is a windproof and water-repellent layer in between. The upper fabric is fleece.
There are 4 secret pockets in addition to the two visible ones. I embedded a reflective piping in the pleated cuts of the sleeve. As well as the hood. Binding is on both sides of the jacket. Piping a little twist because I guess sew the seam too close to the string.
The sleeve has a double cuff and a ribbing is attached to the lining.
Great job but I'm very happy with the result. :)

    You look so happy in your beautiful coat! You did a lot of work on it. I hope you will enjoy it for many years!

    Thank you Jane. You are quite right. The old sewing machine said the contract was terminated and I had to buy a new sewing machine. The current sewing machine is much more efficient and versatile than the old one. I love it.

    Your jacket turned out so nice! I bet you had some real thicknesses to sew through.
