Easy to make — simple shapes that go together quickly. Only problem — one size does not fit all. I made it for a tall young man, and had to add cuffs, plus it was much shorter than I had intended. Make a muslin or compare measurements first, then be prepared to adjust the front lapels. I made it in brocade with fake fur collar and cuffs, and a big belt buckle for the clasp.
