And they're great for teaching newbies to sew; they're (mostly) able to complete their projects & (mostly) encouraged to keep on sewing. <br />Hope "male pattern boldness" catches on!

The pattern companies have certainly missed the boat on this one. I am currently trying to find a great coat pattern that will be worn with business attire. I think you and Kenneth d.

Those commenting on Burda though - I made 2 linen shirts for my husband from Burda. Both times the cuts were so so bad. I had to add length and width to pattern in some places, take in other places. And then to top it off, I had to put darts in both front and back in the end to get the nice tailored fit one expects in men's wear now-adays. He looks awesome in the shirts, but really it has zero to do with the Burda pattern itself. For all you struggling with patterns - invest in pieces for your man that you like, and then cut them up when they wear them out and use them as patterns.

What caught my attention was the title, Male Patter Boldness. Having gone light on top at 19 and being a male quilter and clothing person and writer, I found it a nice play on words. I have searched for years for something different in mens fashion, but inevitably end up disappointed in what is available. Many of the pattern companies patterns don't always fit well and require adjustments along with a translator to decipher the directions even when written in English. It's been several years since I have sewn anything and I am feeling the urge to once again quilt and make clothing for myself. Hence the search yet again for a good jacket pattern. I have come to the conclusion I will have to draft my own yet again. It's rather sad to think the male silhouette has not changed much in the past 100 years or more.

XP I've been looking at coats on ASOS and Uniqlo and from Marc Jacobs and I feel pretty crap that there are no awesome men's patterns out there. Burda has some from time to time in their magazines (2009 and earlier) and Knipmode have a done a pretty splendid men's section (coat, jacket, shirt, blazer patterns) in one of their spreads) but there's nothing contemporary and edgy. My solution to this ofcourse (for outerwear) is to splurge on an awesome coat for my guy and then copy the pattern.
