In a store with a terrific stock of old fabrics from the 1940s to 1960s, I stocked up on wool remnants. The small scraps were a lot cheaper than buying the fabric by the meter. That’s why this example is made from three different fabrics: Scottish tweed and two English coat fabrics in black and grey.
The bag is threefold: 1 inside pocket with zipper, 1 open patch pocket on the outside and another one with flap on top. Maybe that’s why I had to make three attempts before I finally managed to sew the piece together properly 
.
I made the cut a little wider so that there was enough room for clothes worn underneath. I found it difficult to make the flat felled seams with the relatively thick wool fabric, especially as the wool can hardly be ironed (for example I had to cheat a little under the sleeve slit). Riveting the press studs through the rather thick button placket and the cuff was also not easy.
