OUR NEW PATTERN :: THE MELBOURNE TRENCH COAT
Sydney has the Sydney Jacket and now it’s Melbourne’s turn. Meet our latest pattern – the Melbourne Trench Coat!
This single-breasted trench coat is unlined and features a button-through opening, inverted back pleat, curved patch pockets, collar and detachable hood.

The Melbourne Trench has been designed as the perfect trans-seasonal garment. We took great care in giving it all the hallmarks of a classic style that’ll last for years and years. We particularly love the a-line silhouette which, when combined with the inverted back pleat, gives the coat a gorgeous swing.

The lined hood is entirely detachable by a row of five buttons., giving you the option to wear it with or without.
Suitable fabrics for the Melbourne Trench include water resistant polyester, nylon, medium weight wool and wool crepe, firm cotton and cotton blends.
The Melbourne Trench Coat is now available in (Australian) sizes 6 through to 16. All sizes are included in the pattern. You can download the PDF print-at-home version online (hard copy now out of print).

Very, very chic!!! Like it very much.
Your black wool made up beautifully and was a hit in Bonn!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Nice to see a design suited for Australian bad weather. I’d prefer a seamline to make it easier to adjust for large bust without messing up design 🙁
Really nice. I’m tempted, although I’m wary of Tessuti’s drafting, particularly at the shoulder/neckline. And I really dislike the hand-drawn approach to the patterns. What a waste. I might just copy it! Very pretty.
Yes yes yes. This is exactly what I am looking for. Heading to your website RIGHT NOW.
Will you be making the pattern in sizes larger than 16?
I just got this pattern and am about to make it. I would help tremendously to know what the finished measurements or intended ease. Why not state what height and cup size your patterns are drafted for as a reference for the sewists?
Our patterns are drafted for an average height in a B-C-D cup range and all styles differ with some more roomy than others. We prefer a more relaxed and loose styling. We now show finished measurements on our patterns and these should give you an indication of the style and comfort ease we have added. Unfortunately the Melbourne Trench Coat is one of our older patterns (and now out of print in hardcopy) which is why we have not added this info.
