I previously showed you my first trench coat - a grey, raglan-sleeved coat with an orange silk lining and a self-made buckle. The pattern was from Burdastyle, and I altered it to have a zipper instead of buttons.

Then, a year ago I made my first Minoru. The outer is a heavier weight cotton, the zips are metal.

I added side-seam pockets on the outside. I also use the inside pockets, often for my cell phone.

The lining of this coat is quilting cotton, and the sleeves are lined in pink silk.

The hood is extremely useful, especially when we have unpredictable springs showers (which happened just today!). It zips out quickly, and is large enough to fit all my hair inside.

But after making this first minoru, I started a list of improvements that I knew must happen on my second one....stay tuned to find out more!
