Comments: I've wanted to knit this for a long time. Fantastic knit. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The yarn combined with the cables was a bit heavy going at times, but well worth the effort. I didn't make any serious modifications. Size wise I knit the largest size and it is a teeny bit big. Length wise I followed the shortest size. I did not pick up stitches in 2 stages for the button borders as indicated. I picked them up all at once. I don't mind that the picked up stitches for the collar were done on the wrong side.
All sewn up
So many ends to sew in!!
The collar took forever 200 sts and all cabled
But it was worth it
So I guess it's back to the grind stone to the UFO's I left by the wayside to finish this..........

It does look beautiful. Is it heavy to wear.
It looks lovely - a very quick knit! You look quite serious in the photo!
A beautiful coat with amazing buttons.
I was sure you would be wearing the coat this weekend.
It looks great on you. Is it warm enough?
I am in love with that coat. I am going to make one for me as soon as I have finished all current WIP's.
