The Tsar is the coat that becomes the centerpiece of your wardrobe: a distinctive cut and a collar that shows off.
If you sew it in gabardine with body, you get an overcoat with trench allure. If you sew it in medium-weight wool, you have a coat for the entire winter. The line is constructed with princess seams, the length falls above the knee, and the lining is thoughtfully designed.
What you will master: attaching the collar, making the pockets, assembling the lining, and working with thick fabric. This is a pattern with many parts, which requires precision.
Which fabric do you need: gabardine, medium-weight wool coat fabric, jacquard, or velvet with sufficient body. For the lining, a fabric that glides, especially for the sleeves.
