You might try Simplicity's Sherlock Holmes costume.

you'll have
to do a little improvisation to get the double hem effect. You
won't find a
pattern exactly like that.
The coat looks like a loose-fitting version of a standard, single-
breasted coat,
with a capelet attached (that's my reading, anyway). Unfortunately
no coat
patterns are percolating to the top of my brain at the moment, but
I'm sure
something like that is find-able. Simplicity had a set geared
towards the
"Deadwood" look, but I don't recall if it included a coat.
The pants don't have a lot of detail, so if you an find any plain
pant pattern
that fits, then you can add the cuff decoration.

Subject: [h-cost] A Victorian/steampunk pattern question
Hello the list!
The theme of Convergence (July, Twin Cities) this year is
steampunk. And for
some reason I have not yet figured out, I decided that my husband
needs to have
this costume:
http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20041220
I can find patterns. That's not the problem. My problem is that I
am an
intermediate sewer at best (I mostly do 13th century, and that's
all rectangles
and triangles, no tailoring), and I have no idea which patterns
are good and
which are hard to follow.
What I am hoping is that someone has a recomendation for patterns
for the
coat, shirt, and vest (I am going to fake it on pants) that will
fit a short
(5'6") round guy. He wears a size 2XL vest.
Thanks in advance!
Jen
