The Darcy Coat is an elegant and comfortable coat that is designed for throwing over any outfit. Whether you're wearing chunky winter layers or a simple summer outfit, the Darcy Coat will drape over the top and work with your body not against it.

You can create winter or summer versions which can be lined or unlined (you will receive instructions for both options) and the pattern now comes with two lengths. You can choose between welt pockets or patch pockets depending on your skill level and and our additional Gusset Pocket hack is included with the pattern. This is the probably the most complex make in our range but it is well worth the effort.

Skill Level

Suitable for intermediate / advanced sewers (there are design options for first time coat makers and also experienced sewers)

Sizing & Fit

Sizes 4 - 28 (with PDF Layers)

The Darcy Coat is very oversized and roomy with plenty of room for thick layers to be worn underneath. Due to the amount of volume it’s best to size down if you’re in-between sizes.

Perfect winter coat

By far the most challenging garment I’ve made since starting sewing 4 years ago. I took my time as the instructions suggested and made this slowly over a few months, the result is so much better than I ever expected! The instructions are beautifully detailed and laid out, with really useful drawings of each stage. The suggestions for alterations on the website are really clear and mean you can really make this pattern into your perfect coat. I’m so pleased I pushed myself to make this and will be wearing it for years to come!

A gorgeous coat

I’m really pleased with how my Darcy came out. It’s not my first coat or jacket, and I’ve done some “speed tailoring” before - I chose the Darcy after about a month of sifting through other patterns! I wanted something relatively straightforward that would let my fabric shine, while being smart enough to wear to work.

This is made in 100% wool Harris Tweed, with a bemberg/silk lining and horn buttons (both from Bernstein and Barnleys).

I tweaked the pattern (as suggested) to remove 10cm on each side from the bottom hem, tapering to nothing below the arms.

I also didn’t use iron-on interfacing - rather, I underlined the whole coat with cotton flannel, then used wool canvas for structure across the chest and as a back stay, shrunk cotton calico for all the facings, and linen collar canvas for the collar.

The pattern is great, the instructions detailed, clear and helpful - and I’m very very pleased with my finished coat!

My first coat!

Loved the pattern! I went with two welt pockets and roughly followed the Darcy Coat Hack post (bought cooked 100% wool, lengthened the coat slightly, and took off a bit from the sides). I left out the waist belt, but moved up the shoulders by 8 cm (no changes to arm length) to make the coat feel a little less oversized. The step wise manual is easy-to-follow and I wear my coat every day! Little tips: I left out the bottom interfacing following the coat hack but I struggled to get the bottom line clean. Also I think sizing down still gives a very oversized coat!
