This is the sack overcoat that I made and was inspired by the the sea voyage image. It is a fuzzy sort of rust/ brown wool coating that I used and the wool has to be brushed . I drafted this pattern from an original source and was pleased with the cut of the coat. It can also be made wider at the hem...I have made this coat more narrow.
