Welcome to the Double Breasted Civilian Frock Coat Masterclass! If you’ve made it this far and are ready for the challenge, you are in for a lot of fun, frustration, and satisfaction when you are done. This is easily the most difficult types of frock coats to make, just because of all the little details that go into each coat. I highly recommend you first having made an unlined linen frock coat, and a fitted pattern ready to go.
