Also, if you were making more for a price, what range would you be asking in regards to fabric cost and time spent on the project? (In case you're worried I'm another one asking for you to make me one or part with yours, no. I want to know so I'm sure to give my friend a fair amount if I were to ask her to try to make me one.)

Being a pet project and my first Sherlock coat, there’s the materials cost and the time I spent making a TEST coat in blue cotton velvet (and good thing too!) - 15 hours. I did finish that coat. Gave it to a friend because I didn’t like it, it wasn’t perfect.
Making my final coat - 20 - 25 hours - I did lots of hand-sewing for stuff like pad stitching, etc. I wanted it it be perfect.
Let me also say the coat was a test - I wanted to try tailoring since I’d bought a book.
Materials… I was being obsessive about finding the real tailor’s stuff, since it was a pet project and a test for the tailor book.
I live in Japan. Some of it was… pricey.
The wool was cheap, ironically - 700 yen/m x 6 meters
The buttons were 130 yen each x 10
Red silk thread, 250 yen
Iron-on interfacing, maybe 1000 yen.
The stupidly expensive mohair/wool tailor interlining - 2700 yen/m x 3 meters
Black thread - 200 yen
Heavy thread for buttons - 200 yen
Total Materials not including gold paint for the buttons: about 15,250 yen.
IF I HADN’T USED STUPIDLY EXPENSIVE TAILOR’S INTERFACING - 7,150 yen for materials. Swap that interfacing for cheaper stuff, you’d be ok.
The initial outlay of time will be big. If you make more after, they'll go faster of course.
Good luck!
