I just filled two paper grocery bags full of clothes for the Goodwill - most of them handmade. This jacket is in one of the bags. I did wear it once, and the experience only confirmed my disappointment. I made a few alterations to the pattern. My sleeves are full length (I hate this trend of 3/4 length jacket sleeves) with cuffs, a zipper substitutes the buttons, and there's a pleat in the back to add shape to the waist. It's fully lined. I spent a couple full days working on it.
Before this jacket, I got about halfway through a corduroy Simplicity trench coat. It had a goth/pimp/western vibe, so I abandoned it. I haven't lost my determination or curiosity about jackets, despite my 0 in 6 stats. Seventh one's a charm?
