Cut for average sizes. If the gentleman has a broad back, check the fit carefully. Turning the back vent is tricky. You may have to redo it several times to get it to lay smooth. It seemed as if it was much harder than it needed to be. I was never really happy with the result. I much prefer the Eagles View pattern.

It’s VERY difficult to sew according to their directions, which are minimal when good, and non-existent for the most part. The back vent is a major pain to get to lay right. The pocket linings do not fit; you have to make wider linings. On a guy without a rotund belly, this pattern tends to be baggy around the waistline. I still can’t figure out what the heck they want you to do with the lining. I just fully lined the darn thing and disregarded their instructions.
