The fabric is meant to be upholstery fabric and has the nicest suedey feel. The buttons are vintage from my stash. The pattern is something I picked up on eBay a few years back. It isn’t dated but I’m guessing 1971 or there abouts (any ideas?).
As usual, I couldn’t find the motivation to make a toile to check the fit issues, and jeez does this coat have a couple, particularly round the bust area. But I think I can reduce this with a little work. I think the busy-ness of the print hides the worst of it anyways. Overall, I love my crazy coat! More deets on my blog.

WOW!! I love that coat!! I never thought of looking at 70's patterns before but that style is just right! And the fabric is gorgeous! x
oh man, that coat is AMAZING! Well done! It may have fit issues, but you definitely can't tell. Looks great!
I absolutely LOVE your amazing coat!! The print is fantastic and it looks great on you. Well done!
Fabulous! I've been wanting to make a leopard print coat myself but couldn't find suitable material. I had not thought of home decor fabric. You really did a good job, and it looks great on you!
well done! this so completely adorable!
WOW!!!! I am so impressed! This is gorgeous!
