The Oslo coat is a beautifully drafted and easy-to-sew coat pattern by Tessuti Fabrics. If you’ve never sewn a coat before, this would be a good one to get started on.
I made mine up in a size 12, which was based most closely on my chest measurement. Being borderline, I sized up rather than down with the chest. I ignored the waist and hip measurements since the style of this coat doesn’t really require that they fit.
The fit through the shoulders is fabulous. I added one inch to the sleeves, and eight inches to the coat length. I’m 5″10 to give you some persective on these alterations.
This was an easy pattern to sew. The pattern includes a lining, and separate pieces for iron-on interfacing. There isn’t much hand-stitching required (which is amazing for a coat that turns out looking so nicely tailored).
I love the fabric too. The boiled wool is of a substantial weight. I can’t wait to wrap myself in this blanket of a coat on cold days.
It looks so lovely on you! That will be a nice pop of color during a dreary winter. Beautifully made!

This is gorgeous and looks very RTW. I looked all winter for a boiled wool this beautiful for a jacket. You found the perfect one! I am envious of this make!

I’m considering boiled wool for an Oslo Coat. I wondered about the stretch in boiled wool and worry that it’ll be too heavy and sag. I was planning to fuse weft interfacing to all the pieces to provide more structure. Do you think that’s necessary?
Your coat is stunning, BTW!
