AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This vintage sewing pattern "Patron de Paris" n°8304 is for making a men's pea coat or overcoat, typical of retro men's fashion. The visible pouch shows two illustrated variations: a navy blue double-breasted pea coat with a wide collar and double buttoning (model A), and a beige double-breasted overcoat with wide lapels (model B). The drawings are in a graphic style characteristic of the 1970s, featuring elegant male silhouettes, turtlenecks, and structured cuts, highlighting the vintage aesthetic of this item.
The pattern is presented in its original illustrated paper pouch. The visual highlights sophisticated cut details: a generous tailored collar, wrist tabs, large flap pockets on the front, and exposed double-row buttons. The inscription "patron de paris" is clearly visible at the top of the pouch, with the reference "8304" printed on the left. The dominant colors of the illustration are navy blue, beige, and touches of yellow for the background, enhancing the retro graphic look.
The ensemble exudes urban men's fashion from past decades, with a loose, structured cut, typical of vintage sewing patterns for outerwear. The style and presentation strongly evoke the 70s, both through the typography of the title and the graphics used for the male models.
The pouch appears well-preserved, with some minor signs of handling visible on the upper and lower edges, but no apparent tears on the front shown. No details of the interior content (pattern sheets, instructions) are visible in this photo.
This vintage pattern is suitable for the authentic reproduction of a retro men's pea coat or overcoat, ideal for vintage-inspired sewing or recreating a period men's wardrobe.
