Mael,

You and I think alike.

Assuming double-width is about 58-60", you'd need about 3 yards to make the coat you indicated up to a size 44. If the fabric is only about 45" wide, you'd need a bit more, say 3 1/2 yards.

I would recommend the 18th century sleeved waistcoat pattern by J.P. Ryan.

Assuming the run would be in the wider width, I'd be interested in 3 yards.
