I turned this pattern into a bellhop jacket of red wool. Except for making sure that the piping didn’t make the bib too bulky (it was a very thin cording that I used), it went together well. I cut the whole jacket a little shorter (about an inch) and took out the point in the back. I also eliminated the cuff for a cleaner line and added black piping around the collar and bib. I adjusted the pattern a bit at the side and back seams to fit, but I think it would go together pretty well for someone who has good sewing skills. The jacket wasn’t actually made for the person wearing it in the picture – but its such a cute photo and it still fits well!
