It is a great pattern because the coat is reversible so essentially you get 2 coats in one!

Maybe one day i will remake this coat from a light weight parachute fabric, i all ready have the material but there is another issey miyake coat for which the fabric has been cut and sits waiting on my sewing desk to be made for some time now.
It's been too long ago since i used this pattern to comment on the sewing skills needed. It has an average rating according to the pattern envelope. It is mostly a lot of work because of the welt pockets and the seams are stitched in a flat fell seam as a finishing touch because the coat is reversible.
What is most wonderful about this and his other patterns is the democratic sharing of his designs. I am very grateful that Mr. issey miyake allowed some of his designs to be distributed by Vogue patterns for his fans with a smaller purse who cannot afford to buy his clothes ready made in one of his beautiful stores ( i've been to the one in Antwerp, Belgium) Actually making his designs yourself is even more satisfying because you get to experience the genius of this man: he is a sculptor of fabric. Thank you Mr. Issey Miyake! Hopefully i will visit Japan one day, it is on the top of my wishlist, but traveling to Japan is so expensive. Would love to see the the 21 21 Design Sight Museum of which issey miyake is one of the directors together with tadao ando, my favorite Japanese architect.

This is absolutely beautiful 😍
Hiya, I was researching Issey Miyake's sewing patterns (2978 and 2979) and came across your blog on Google search. Your creations are stunning! They demonstrate skillful construction techniques and fabric manipulation so well. Thanks for sharing with the world.
