Next - details on the pattern style. The Sherlock coat is a calf-length, double-breasted affair. Six buttons on the front, 2 under the lapels. I assume this is for when you actually do the coat up fully
.

Pockets - there are four. Two welt pockets on the breast, two patch pockets with flaps on the hips.
The lapel is notched, and has a reinforcement piece underneath, which is just as well the way Benny is always yanking the collar up.

The cuffs have a rounded edge on the back.

On the back, the skirts have a box pleat in the centre, and two knife pleats on either side. The knife pleats are aligned with the darts in the upper back of the coat,. the darts go up to the shoulder blades. The centre back of the upper part of the coat is vented, and has a triangle of reinforcement stitching just visible. The back belt has two buttons, and overlaps itself on the right side.

Next - pattern sketching and the muslin, or toile.

Just awesome - love the attention to detail - but that of course is necessary whenever you actually go to MAKE something ;-)

Does it say something horrible about me that just reading about this coat is getting me all hot and bothered? :D

I don't think it is Benny yanking the coat collar up though - I think it is costuming - hiding that long neck of his :D :D :D

As if your writing wasn't awesome enough, I seriously love you for this! I felt like I was the only one who randomly undertook crazy projects like this, lol. I'm really enjoying watching your progress on this and hope you continue posting as you go!
