Planned list of changes:
More tapered torso
Both front flaps will be more angled. Inner flap at one continuous angle, outer flap changes from angled, to straight, to angled.
Sleeves about an inch longer and not quite as slim fitting.
Stitch line at the opening on the back a bit more angled.
Lining will be a quilted cotton.
Buckle will have a brass loop rather than cloth (hopefully, hardware availability is what it is).
Collar will be a bit taller and thicker (as in a padded lining inside it or something)
Collar angle will be different and it will extend a bit more beyond the flap it's attached to.
Strap on the collar will move a bit, have 3 grommets, slightly changed stitching, and a flat end rather than a pointed one.
Shoulder padding may be a bit thicker.
Fixes to the elbow patch to make it more pattern accurate.
Four stitches connecting the collar to the flap.
Magnets added (two on the collar, four sets on the torso.
Hook and loop added at the waist.
Fur lining will extend in a bit more.
I think that's it, other than the change in fabric to be more accurate.
Sounds awesome! Two questions from me:
- Are we talking a fully-quilted lining throughout the whole coat + sleeves, or just the body, or something else?
- With the addition of brass hardware, magnets, lining, and custom-dyed waxed cotton, I assume the cost is rising--do you have an estimated price?
I have high res pics zlurpo just saw the coat this afternoon and went film and pic crazy if you need them I can send them tonight when I’m in my hotel took an okay pic of how the back looks. Confirmed that the body clips via hook clasp system on the main body of the coat

Not sure this will help but there’s definitely less bunching here on the arms. Coat looks fairly fitted. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171012/27839072c72b67222579f06d6c88a46f.jpg

Wow! Is this the only hook-and-clasp on the coat (presumably at the waist as Zlurpo mentioned in the recent pattern update)? Or does the whole front secure with hidden clasps rather than magnets?
Now that I've seen it, I can't unsee it on this picture as well...

Now that's a pic I haven't seen before! That certainly looks like the magnet closures visible there.
Where was the coat displayed mate?
