I think Maker's Atelier have just released a similar looking pattern...  ;) it's called the utility jacket

Ridiculous price, I agree.   :o  Their patterns are printed on v good quality paper, however, so are quite hardy. Just come across Hot Patterns Beachcomber Jacket; also printed on good paper at £14.50

Merchant & Mills have two jackets:

The Forman
The Ottoline

I have not made either, but have been thinking about it.

@Farrener
M&M are in Rye and do workshops on some of their patterns.

I think there's one for the Parka.

Ooh, thank you for that. Some new patterns there, love the Box Box dress.  I’d love to spend a weekend at M&M making something.

Like you @Efemera I like the style of this workers jacket but I’m not going to pay anything near that for a pattern. I wonder if a shorter blazer style jacket, taking out the darts, would do instead. I might try McCall’s 6711. I’d rather spend the extra of fabric ;) In any case a jacket usually needs some work on the fit unless you’re lucky. Good luck with your search.
