Showing my ignorance here - what exactly is a Morris Jacket?

I've tried Mr Google's images, but there are so many variations, the only thing in common seems to be long sleeves!

It's a pattern put out by Grainline studios. I posted an image earlier.

So its just a name used by an indie in the same way that the biggies use numbers.

On the other hand this has turned out fine:

I'm biting my nails over doing the heavy duty snaps next.

There was just thing that has me puzzled.  I generally go through the pattern instructions and making up more or less as the pattern dictates.  It showed you how to do the bagged lining before doing the final topstitching and snaps.  I have only done one bagged lining, with a waistcoat so I avoided and turned in from the middle of the back hem which I left unstitched.  How the heck can you put a snap on either side of the front when it has been bagged.  You are okay with the facing piece which you are holding down but the underneath piece you are stuffed, or am I missing something.

@BrendaP: yes, indie companies name their garments since the line is often quite small.
