The 5 year coat.

Right, I started this coat a while ago and then somehow it got left, life moved on and it got forgotten.  Well, I've had a sort out and got it finished a couple of weeks ago.  I avoided buttonholes as they are not my forte, so it has giant poppers instead with lovely vintage buttons on the front.
The coat is a classic princess cut with tabs at each side on a high waist.  The fabric is a a beautiful loose plaid.  It was 50p/m in the John Lewis sale so,  getting very carried away I bought 15 metres.  The coat has take 3.5m.  I have a lot left.  Perhaps it should form the basis of a collection?  It could become my 'signature' fabric. Anyway, here is a completed coat.  Only 11.5 metres to go.  Any suggestions?
