In stockYou’ve saved the pattern, bought the fabric, and the project is still sitting in a drawer. Sewing a full coat takes time, and nobody has an extra month. So here’s a shortcut. The Odyssey Sewing Pattern Purple Coat look comes ready to wear, with no cutting, no pinning, and no seam ripper.
Gunnar Deatherage is a sewing creator from Louisville, Kentucky, known for his patterns and tutorials, and the Odyssey is one of the coat patterns on his site. At Oskar Jacket, we made this purple coat as a fan-inspired tribute to the Gunnar Deatherage Odyssey coat. It’s a finished coat, not a paper pattern, and it isn’t made by Deatherage.
The Odyssey Purple Coat Sewing Pattern inspired by the shape: a fitted top, a lapel collar, and a wide flared skirt that moves when you walk. Wool keeps you warm, and viscose lining slides over sweaters easily. Buttons close the front, while open hem cuffs keep the sleeves clean and simple. Two outside pockets hold your phone, and one inside pocket keeps cards close. Also, the flare gives you room to walk and sit without fighting the fabric.
If you’ve been eyeing The Odyssey Purple Coat Pattern for Sewing but aren’t ready for the project, wear this version first. Wool suits fall and winter, and a thin knit underneath works on cooler spring evenings. Try it over a black dress with ankle boots, or over a cream sweater with dark trousers. Follow the care label, and hang the coat on a wide hanger so the skirt keeps its shape.
