Thanks ladies! And Bethany, I am a clothing designer, so I do sew a LOT...haha! However, I don't do a lot of outerwear. It's a completely different beast sometimes, with the extra notions, hardware, and technical fabrics involved.

Now, if you asked me for a double-breasted wool dress coat, no problem! I can do that! I can also do the biking jacket too...but I've never actually had one in my hands to see how the construction was done, etc.

Now I've got a good starting point!!
