Our classic trio of Clyde Outerwear styles is finally available for you to sew at home!
The Clyde Jacket, Trench, and Vest are defined by our our essential Clyde pocket spanning the sides with its crescent shape. With traditional trench vibes, a relaxed, slouchy fit, added swing and a large shawl collar, the Clyde has a deliciously nostalgic shape while still feeling ultra-modern. Its massive pockets carry anything you need.
The open front with no closures makes this an easy piece to sew, and suitable for a myriad of fabrics. There are no complex techniques, just a fair number of pieces to manage and quite a bit of recommended topstitching.
Lighter and drapier fabrics will be easier to construct and create a more transitional layering garment, whereas heavier fabrics like canvas or wool can serve as more traditional coats but take a bit more patience to assemble.
Required Fabric, Tools, & Notions
We recommend medium-weight fabrics with no stretch. Linen, cotton, hemp, in plainweaves or canvas will work well. Lighter weight fabrics will add more drape, and heavier fabrics will result in a more structured garment. Ensure that whatever material you choose can hold up in the pocket area.
You'll need:
- Fabric of your choice — see detailed fabric requirements here.
- All purpose polyester thread
- Sewing machine (capable of a straight stitch)
- Appropriate machine needle for your chosen fabric
- Scissors

WHAT MAKES OUR PATTERNS DIFFERENT
PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES
My patterns feature the same sewing methods and construction techniques that are used to produce my garments at scale, making your sewing projects simpler, more efficient, and more fun.
TRIED & TESTED STYLES
My patterns have been in production and sold as finished garments for nearly a decade. I know these silhouettes work, I've made them in a myriad of different fabrics, I've incorporated years of customer fit and wear feedback over time, and thousands of folks have purchased and worn these styles, so you know they'll stand the test of time.
INCLUSIVE SIZING
All my patterns are available in the same size range as our finished products, which includes sizes XXS-4XL, and I'm always working towards including more folks in our size offerings.
BEAUTIFUL INSTRUCTIONS
I relish in finding beauty and joy in small doses everywhere I can, and our detailed, thorough instructions for each pattern are no exception. They are designed to be inspiring and fun to look at as you sew through our styles, and hopefully return to them again and again.
LIFETIME ACCESS
Pattern files are constantly improving based on customer feedback and my own experience, and every pattern purchase gains you access to the the most current version. When updates are made, you'll automatically receive an e-mail with new files.

I am a fan of Elizabeth Suzann clothing and enjoy recreational home sewing. I love ES patterns with their inclusive sizing and stylish clothing that flatters a wide range of bodies. This makes it very easy for me to sew for loved ones without needing to worry about highly personalized pattern adjustments. The entire ES line is so cute!
Pattern and instructions look just grand! Cannot wait to get started sewing. Will nicely compliment the rest of my sew at home ES wardrobe.
I've been waiting for this for so long and it was absolutely worth it!
The classic lines allow for casual comfort in a soft knit or step up your fabric for a business vibe. I absolutely love Elizabeth's designs and this was no change!
Love this - perennial ES style now to sew at home in 3 different versions.
