I made this coat in a knit fabric and it worked perfectly. It is just so comfortable and lovely to wear.
A
From the size calculator it said I needed a 14 G/H bust and 24 waist. After 2 test garments I did a 20/24 to be able to move in it. The waist is still a bit big. The next one I would probably do a 20 EF/ 22, if there wasn’t 99 pages to print and put together! They did give me some help on the site but it wasn’t particularly useful. And I’ve printed the pattern twice already as the pattern is laid out single layer and I thought I didn’t have enough fabric at 3.5m. Size 24 said 4.7m. And I couldn’t get any more purple. Turned out 3m was enough in the purple but I used my extra black fabric for a smart look anyway. It was a mission to make, took a total of a month; 2 weeks sorting pattern and toilles, 2 weeks sewing a bit every day. The instructions were good except I got confused at the centre front hem lining. It also could do with reinforcement on the back kick pleat lining as it’s starting to rip. All in all, beautiful coat I’m proud of. I have never made a wool coat before and this is very smart. I even made a beret and a flat cap to go with it. A hood option would be nice. Would I do it again? Maybe. Maybe not. Need to use up that extra expensive fabric.

The pattern and instructions were very clear and as this coat is the most complicated piece of clothing I have ever attempted, I was very pleased. However, even though I had thought my measurements were accurate, it has turned out a little large. Nonetheless I would recommend this pattern.

This is my first Cashmerette make, I am very impressed with the fit. I made View A in a size 20 with G/H cup size and the toile fit me without any adjustments which never happens for me. Usually I have to do a full bust adjustment even when using patterns with cup size options. The instructions are excellent with very detailed information and great diagrams. I chose a digital print sateen for my coat as I wanted something different than the usual trench coat look. My coat is 3” longer and I made the belt and cuff belts close with buckles because that’s the style I wanted. I get lots of comments and I love my coat!
B
This turned out so much better than I was even hoping. I bought this pattern as soon as it came out - I’ve always wanted a trench coat, but I’ve never been brave enough to sew my own. I knew the instructions on a Cashmerette pattern would be detailed and thorough enough that I could do it, so I went for it. This was kind of my practice version, but I love how it turned out and I learned so much from making it, now I have two more planned!

I audibly gasped when the newsletter wit this pattern landed in my inbox and I knew I had to have it. I made a 12GH with the sleeves sized up to 14, out of 100% wool gabardine and rayon lining. I love all the trench details, and only left off the gun flap. The instructions were super clear and easy to follow, and I appreciate the bagged lining method for minimal hand-sewing, but I recommend googling a sew-a-long for that step if you've never done it before as I hadn't. It's my new favorite coat!

I absolutely LOVE the way my Chilton Trench Coat turned out. I was a bit nervous about how to add the lining, but Jenny's instructions were spot on and easy to follow. For my Chilton I added piping detail to make it extra special. Purple is my favorite color and so I'm over the moon with how this turned out. I used 100% Cotton Purple Twill and Midnight Navy Bemberg for the lining, both from fabric.com.

I made the coat with fleese lining fabric and ı love it .Its so warm and cosy. Great instruction .
H
I loved this trench coat! The instructions were very clear and easy to follow and the fit is great. I made the muslin out of denim and ended up with an unlined jacket as well because the fit was almost right on. I am 5'10" and did have to lengthen the sleeves a bit but everything else fit perfectly.

I finished my trench few days ago. The pattern fits very well, I have cut a 22 size but next time I will do a 20 .
I would like to make another one, but the short version.
Unfortunately I made a mistake: I cut the wrong side of the lining kick pleat.... but I fixed it.
And I had some problems with belt loops, maybe due because I didn’t understand very well ( I am italian).
Anyway this is the best pattern I have ever bought!!!

Take your time on this pattern and enjoy how beautifully it comes together. Instructions for patterns don’t come any clearer than this. It was a joy to make.
s
This pattern has a lot of pieces. It is not a quick make. You want all aspects of it to look good and professional, so don't rush it. I have always fancied a black trench coat so that is what I am working on. It is a very nice pattern, great instruction book and with patience you will end up with a lovely coat that you will enjoy wearing. Some sections I found it helpful to baste first before machining, but this is because my fabric was slippy. If your fabric slides around you might find this helpful. Very pleased with this pattern.

I wanted to make a basic wool coat for every day wear this winter. I left off several of the "trench" pieces--I only used the sleeves, collar, basic front and back, and the pockets, linings, etc. I used a black wool blend plush fabric and sari fabric lining. I just love it! It went together easily--although be prepared to do *a lot* of pressing if you make one--it's a critical step to achieve a professional finish though, so it's totally worth it. I made a 16GH, and it gives me plenty of room to wear my bulky sweaters, wrap up with scarves, etc. In fact, my husband and I went to Chicago last weekend, and I stayed toasty and warm in my Chilton in the 10 degree weather!

The Chilton Trench Coat is a simply gorgeous pattern. Directions are clear and concise. The pattern has lots of “details” or embellishments which can be added to the coat making it something truly special. I went for the shorter version (since I fall in the 5’ range) and it is very complimentary and still covers my hips. Want to look like a million bucks? Make this coat! I just love mine ;))

This was the first coat I've sewn, and I'm so happy with it. It's a big project, but each step is not hard. And the instructions are great. The result is beautiful and unique (I made it in a cheerful spring green!) and so professional looking.
