Stay warm and stylish this season with The Bergen Coat, a timeless oversized peacoat that perfectly blends comfort and sophistication. This free sewing pattern allows you to create an effortlessly chic outerwear piece using high-quality coating fabric paired with a soft lining for extra warmth. Designed with classic tailoring elements such as a lapel collar, practical side pockets, a back vent for ease of movement, and a refined button closure, this coat is both functional and fashionable.

Boiled wool is the ideal choice for this design, offering structure, warmth, and durability in equal measure. Its dense texture provides excellent insulation against the cold while maintaining a comfortable level of flexibility. The natural resistance to fraying makes boiled wool a dream to work with, ensuring clean finishes with minimal effort. For those looking to explore alternative fabric options, wool blends create a polished and structured look, tweed adds texture and depth, while cashmere lends a luxurious softness with lightweight warmth.

Sewing The Bergen Coat is an enriching experience for any sewist. A universal or ballpoint needle (size 90/14) with polyester thread will provide strong and even seams. Due to the density of boiled wool, sharp scissors or a rotary cutter will ensure precise cutting, while a walking foot can help guide the fabric smoothly through the machine. The oversized fit of the coat allows for easy layering, but the pattern can be adjusted to create a more fitted silhouette if desired.

This versatile coat is a perfect addition to any wardrobe. For an effortlessly chic daytime look, layer it over jeans, ankle boots, and a cozy turtleneck. For an elevated outfit, pair it with a sleek dress or tailored trousers and heeled boots for a polished ensemble. Whether you’re heading to work, running errands, or attending a special occasion, The Bergen Coat keeps you warm, stylish, and confident. With its timeless appeal and impeccable tailoring, this coat is a must-sew for anyone looking to craft a standout piece of outerwear. Sizes XXS-4XL.
