I'm looking for a pattern for an OUTBACK DROVER'S COAT.
Nicole M.

An Australian Drover's coat (137) in two versions is available from Folkwear patterns in misses' sizes 6 to 22 and men's sizes 34 to 48.The simplified version of this classic A-line style duster has raglan sleeves, patch pockets with flaps, wrist tabs, rectangular collar, collar tab and snap front closure. The authentic version has more detailing–a detachable cape, elbow patches, center-back fantail vent, center-front rain and wind flap, and partial lining. To order, visit folkwear.com, or call (888) 200-9099 or (828) 626-3100.
