I AM Patterns - Bob Trench Coat (New Packaging)
About Bob
Most paper I AM patterns are size 36-46. They offer a larger size range in PDF.
The Bob trench coat has a straight cut and 4 lengths. It includes a storm flap finished with a metal D-Ring at the back. There are a hidden button placket and welt pockets with a faux-button flap at the front. The Bob has two collar options: a stand-up collar or a shirt collar. At the bottom of the set-in sleeves are plackets with two buttons. It can be worn with a removable belt with optional buckle and eyelets. The trench is fully lined and has a slit in the back. There are 4 lengths: short, mid-thigh, knee-length and midi.
In an effort to reduce paper usage some pattern pieces overlap with each other, so you will need to trace the pattern on paper or use Cloth Edit’s Vilene Light. It is fantastic for tracing patterns, and you can even sew it, which makes it great for fitting. (Note - the overlapping is neither extensive nor hard to discern).
This pattern is in the NEW packaging which is a white envelope style that's easy to open.

I AM Patterns is a very popular French independent sewing pattern company, owned by two sisters: Marie-Emilienne (founder and designer) and Blandine (marketing manager). I AM Patterns’ designs are modern and push the boundaries, but they also include timeless pieces. I hope you enjoy exploring their range.
