From Merchant & Mills:

The Ottoline is a boxy workwear jacket with cuff and side seam splits and inside pocket. Although a lovely design detail the vents are a little tricky, so we have included instructions to simplify Ottoline by excluding the side seams and sleeve vents if you like.

We have found that a heavy duty thread rather than a topstitch thread gives a more authentic look to the topstitching and is easier to use. You may find you get a better stitch using a matching ‘sew all’ thread in the bobbin.

Recommended Fabrics: We recommend using 8 – 12.5oz non-stretch denim, medium weight cotton drill or canvas, dry oilskin, linen and corduroy.

This is an experienced level pattern, but not doing the slits on the hip or sleeves would make it a more intermediate level.

Sizes: UK 6-18
The bust size range for this pattern is UK Size 6 (78 cm/30.75") through Size 18 (106 cm/41.75").
