Make yourself a Proper Victorian Topper!

As the frock overcoat was passing out of fashion in the third quarter of the 19th century, a looser unfitted style of overcoat was coming in.  The Sac coat had no shaping at all and flowed easily from the shoulders.  It would become a standard overcoat style in the later Victorian period.

Our easy-to-use pattern (based on an original tailor's draft from the period) helps you make a beautiful loose-fitting "Sac" Top Coat!

Fits chests 38" to 54". All sizes in one envelope. 

Also included are assembly instructions, embellishment suggestions, and the extensive historical notes you've come to expect from Reconstructing History.

Suggested Fabrics: wool melton or other coat weight; linen or lightweight silk for lining; heavy linen, buckram or canvas for interlining

Notions: thread; buttons for front and decoration; buckram; wool felt or padding for collar; buttonhole floss

Yardage Requirements: Coat 6 yds 45”; lining 6 yds 45” wide; interlining 2 yds 45” wide
