I concur with mutive. That's the pattern I default to a lot for coats. Just be warned it's a men's sized coat; if you are a woman, even the extra small can be kind of full in the chest.
I generally ignore the lining instructions because they confuse me. I cut out the same pattern pieces in lining fabric and attach the two together. I serge both ends as one and hem it just like that. It makes my life easier than trying to figure out how to properly put lining in.
I was wondering if I could get some fabric advice.
We found a blue we like in Monece Satin, but I'm worried that the coat won't look correct if we use two light weight fabrics. We would need to put something in between the outside and lining?
Since the jacket needs to be flowy (in reference to your last pic), lightweight fabrics are a fairly good choice. If you plan to line the jacket, it also makes it less stuffy and heavy

I agree with much of this, if not all. I personally think that satin makes a horrible material for *most* outfits. Unless you go for very high quality satin (i.e. natural cotton or silk satin), satin tends to wrinkle like mad. Can it look good? Yes. But only if you have the patience to carefully steam it every step of the way
